Strong has yet to prove he can run a big time SEC program. Louisville in the Big East is not South Carolina in the SEC. If he wins at Texas, South Carolina is not getting him, and if he fails there, South Carolina may not want him. Safe to say he is probably out of the picture.

In a post Spurrier era, who (black or white, but no asians) is currently HoF or near HoF status?

Honestly, I wouldn't mind going up-and-comer rather than HOF bound with our next hire. Someone who is going to bring innovation and excitement to a program that has some measure of name recognition built up with our last two coaches.

Difference is how much resistance Strong already seems to have before the season even started. I can't speak from their perspective directly but it seems like they're looking for any excuse to already get rid of him. Strong may not win there because they fans simply may not let him.

Spurrier was in his 6th season before getting us to 9 wins. That kind of patience will not happen with Strong and Co. at Texas.

With that said, we've been spoiled here, so whoever comes after Spurrier may not have that much time either.
