MJWalker45 Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 After listening to "sources" saying Strong is done at Texas, I'm actually pissed about that. His freshman quarterback threw three touchdowns yesterday which is the main reason they lost. His defense has actually improved the last 3 weeks as well, which was the biggest issue this year. I'm sure they're prepping to bring in Tom Herman, which is a good fit for a young quarterback like Buechelle, but I think Strong, as well as all coaches, should get 4 years so that you can see how they do with their full compliment of recruits. With a buyout of $11 million, I think Charlie's going to be okay though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 They lost to Kansas for the first time since 1938. Strong could be in his first season and that would get him fired. Athletic Director: KTU Blue Grassers Football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a buyout of $11 million, I think Charlie's going to be okay though. I've long said....the biggest 'tell' in whether a school should fire their coach is to listen to the rival coaches. Keep an ear out for what Stoops, Patterson, etc. say when they get asked about Strong or job security in the coming days. If they say Texas would be foolish to let Strong go, or speak highly of him in general....that means Texas has to let him go. When the Mark Richt rumors were swirling at Georgia last autumn, Nick Saban went above-and-beyond being complementary of Richt and rattling off reasons why he shouldn't be losing his job. Why? It wasn't to lay any sort of foundation should Saban ever be in job trouble. It was that he knew as long as Richt was in Athens, Georgia wouldn't be as much of a threat to win the SEC or national championships. Also, he knew Georgia would come after his defensive coordinator because of Kirby Smart's ties to Georgia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm seeing conflicting information -- did Jimbo outright turn down the job? If Texas eff's up getting Tom Herman it'll be hilarious.

Red Wolf Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 I know that people used to always say that coaches should get five years and such to develop players and build the program. But if after three years, you can't even get bowl eligible at Texas, it's time to move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJWalker45 Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 If this is true, and I'm reasonably sure it is, Herman's on his way to Texas. It was reported he was meeting with Texas this afternoon. If he somehow edcapes, Sonny Dykes could be in the frame. Texas looked like they were playing to get the coaches fired yesterday. Only Foreman and Johnson showed any heart. ESPN is also reporting Ogeron wants to pull Lane Kiffin over to Baton Rouge. That'd make for some interesting off-season shenanigans in the SEC if it happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could have waited until hearing what Texas offered, unless he already knows what it is, probably $6-$7 million a year, and waived it off as too high for an someone two years into a top Group of 5 gig.

This is such a strange hiring for LSU. Orgeron can recruit with the best of them, but his coaching performances aren't so great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach O was, at best, choice #3. Herman and Jimbo were the targets for two months! He got neither Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 I always felt Fisher was a fantasy pick for LSU. If Florida State was having issues bringing in top talent I could see him bolt, but they are always at the top of recruiting. This is just one of those years that they didn't play as well as they should have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
