It shouldn't be, but this is Texas we're talking about. I guarantee they would be getting the most qualified person for that job if they hired him. He's got all of the tools that make him a perfect fit. Great Texas HS recruiter that would kill it down there because most of the big schools in Texas run the same type of system that briles uses. And he's great at what Texas misses the most, developing QB's.
Why? Because of one game in which Art himself wasn't even present for 50% of the practices due to him sniffing around Austin? Don't let Baylor fool anyone. Baylor is Baylor and will always be Baylor, even if they don't wear their predominant color (green) in the biggest game of their program's history. What jackasses.
Welp, Texas does have a reputation of hiring mediocrity since the Darrell Royal (ex-Sooner) days, rest his soul. So we'll see if they can finally get their shiit together and hire the coach who has beaten them 3 out of the last 4 years with the green team. But given the way they've handled the LHN, the chances of Texas making an intelligent decision are about (+500)
I'm hearing the Charlie Strong interview went, "okay". While he's a sound defensive guy, he's not very polished and "does not" interview very well at all. Which could be a problem in Austin. Let's face it, whoever is hired for the UT job has to be savvy. Charlie Strong, while he might be a great coach, is not very articulate/polished. And I don't mean to be disparaging with that comment. On top of that, he's won at L'Ville where his only marquee win was over a very down Florida team in the Sugar Bowl. If you look at L'ville, who have they beaten while he's been there? They lost their one big game this year to UCF. Last year they lost to Cuse and UConn, Previous year they lost 6 games. Granted, I know he inherited a mess, but he's been playing in the old Big East which really had no marquee teams the last 4 years. 7-6, 7-6, 11-2, 12-1.
