I have been wondering for a while about the differing media analysis of the Texas situation. We have people like Herbstreit and many others with their non-stop diatribe against Texas. These analysts are saying crap that is uncontested to the facts. Herbstreit is over the line in his assessment. The only thing he got right in the attached video is that whoever is the HC at Texas has to deal with boosters and the media. I really like Charlie, but dammit, if he didn't know about dealing with boosters, then that is just one more thing other than game prepping that Charlie mishandled. YES-F'ing Kirk when you sign a 5 million dollar a year contract at Texas you know it is part of it. Most major D1 schools are the same sh*t. What about OU, Kirk? They have been complaining about Stoops for several years-Yes in the chat rooms and even Skip Bayless on national TV on your F'ing network. What about the death threats at Alabama when Bill Curry was hired in the 80s F'ink Kirk? (http://articles.latimes.com/1987-01-06/sports/sp-2580_1_tide-coach). What about Bobby Bowden leaving in tears from the program he built, Kirk? Hmmm? Was Florida State pressuring its famed coach from the outcry from the fanbase, talk shows, chat rooms? Hmmm? Oh, and how did Earle Bruce leave tOSU? Hmmm, Kirk? I recall a lot of tears in his eye with the tOSU band played at his home's doorstep.(http://articles.latimes.com/1988-01-17/sports/sp-36807_1_big-ten-championship). I know we could all go on and on of numerous examples at other universities. These people expect Texas to dish out over $5,000,000 plus all the perks and not expect anything in return. Insanity
Message to Perrin. Hire a PR person to call these frauds out. DO NOT let this bad press on our beloved university go uncontested. Bad press has long lasting consequences with recruits across the board-not just football. The boosters are on their own and don't speak for the university. The university did back Strong. The fans and chat rooms and radio talk shows are part of our lives in this day and age with all major men's sports at all major D1 schools. How does a university put a lid on that? You want the university to censor the fans and then bash the university for censoring? Charlie's record, unprepared game strategies, unaccountable assistants and questionable in game decisions got him fired. Let our PR person frame the questions on what any normal university do. Let our PR person ask about how the Longhorns have declined by season's end instead of playing their best ball. Finally, let our PR person tell these morons that anybody receiving $5,000,000 per year at any job will have pressure to perform whether it is Texas, bama or whoever.
