Frankly Bell, BLH's insight generally IS always riveting.
I am also of the opinion that the BEST coaching performances are not always tied to the won loss record. Strong was tasked with changing an entire culture and restoring pride in the program.He had to make hard choices that paid negative dividends in the beginning i.e. kicking players out that could have helped, but that needed to go. Student athletes are now actually required to be students.....what a concept.
Does one think even for a second that Coach Strong is not aware that losing coaches get fired, and that losing coaches at a school like Texas ESPECIALLY get fired.Yet he had the courage to go for a total rebuild. Whether or not he can reap the benefits of his actions, the football PROGRAM will be by far the better for it.
