Sorry if this is way off, but correct me if I'm wrong: people are saying that the deal almost fell through because of some stinginess and hesitation on extending a 3 year deal. If a 3 year deal has now been extended (I'll need to see the ink before I'm convinced), could that affect how these same people view matters next year? For instance, if Strong does well, but slightly below the bar set for him, would money matters tip the scales in favor of keeping him? Obviously, if he exceeds this bar then there will be a big sigh of relief, but it'd be interesting to see how this hiccup influences things next year.

Lincoln Riley didn't have a "pedigree"either dunce.
And that Texas defense you speak of did just fine on October 10th
this is what a guy named hiphippopotomus wrote on Shaggy:
odified a post I made earlier:
Sterlin Gilbert was brought in as a GA by Mike Spradlin when he was on staff at UH and Art Briles was HC. Thats when Gilbert learned the 'Briles Offense'.
When Mike Spradlin left UH to become HC at Abilene Cooper he brought Gilbert with him to install and run the Briles offense and coach QB's.
Gilbert left Abilene Cooper to become HC at a couple of different HS's - installing the Brile offense at each stop.
When Dino Babers left Baylor (he was WR coach) and asked Briles/Montgomery who he should look for to install run his offense they recommeded Gilbert. Babers hired Gilbert to coach QB's and to install and run the Briles offense at FCS school EIU.
When Babers left EIU to become Head Coach at Bowling Green he brought Gilbert with him to install and run the offense.
When long time Briles assistant and OC Phil Montgomery finally left Baylor to take the Head Coach position at Tulsa he hired away Gilbert to install and help run the offense.
A few years ago when Montgomery was asked who should take over the Baylor offense if he was ever 'hit by a car' he said 'Sterlin Gilbert, that guys a stud'.
Gilbert has been a part of three 'installations' of the Briles offense at the college level in the last 5 years, and was hired by three of Briles formerassistants.
Honestly - if not for nepotism, I half-expect that Gilbert would be the one running Baylor's offense right now.
Ian Boyd has a great article on the X's & O's of what we can expect to see.

Everyone bitches about the lost opportunity of not hiring Lincoln Riley when Strong first started filling out his staff. Gilbert is Lincoln Riley three years ago. He's a rising star that you take a shot on - and if he hits you've got something incredible.

But my favorite was what another guy said about him:
"He is so good that we hired him twice and gave him a raise before he called his first play"
"He is so good that we hired him twice and gave him a raise before he called his first play"
Now you guys start to understand a little bit why Tulsa gave us fits. Me thinks it is a great hire for the Horns. Dammit.
Congrats to both of the coaches. Both of them recruited my brother very hard while at BG and we thought they were great guys and great coaches. They should do very well at Texas.
Watson needs to go back to Boulder and start selling coors light. That's a metaphor.........
Where have I heard that before? Oh yeah, now I remember, it was when y'all hired Harsin and Diaz and they were going to revolutionize CFB and send Stoops to early retirement. Well you were right about sending a coach on to early retirement, but you got the coach wrong.
Sure does and it took that game to get the OU coaches attention. OU is still going to the playoffs so they were able to recover pretty nicely.
Get used to losing to this guy, should have beat Texas when they were young, vulnerable and lacked an offensive identity
