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.

What is not seen is the undercurrents against Strong from old big money Texas donors because he is black. If TAMU did not hire Sumlin and had success, my gut tells me the coach after Brown would have been white. I think the younger fans like him and are glad he is bringing back rules and getting rid of the prima donna attitude that Mack Brown allowed.

If I had a crystal ball I would be looking at coaches know for defense and developing a strong running game. Sure there are some good QB's in the SEC west but if Auburn is the prototype for the future then run with pass may be the future in a world where the rest of the country is all just pass happy and no defense.

As for Spurrier, don't throw the OBC out just yet. This was a rebuilding year and my expectations for the Cocks were not to see the real future till the november games.
