i think strong is a good program builder. i've always liked him as a coach, whether i agree with everything he does or not.
coaches have to try and win the way they know how, every coach doesn't do it the same way.
that said, i think if strong gets all 5 years then he will have built a winner in austin, maybe not a top 10 type team, but his way of doing things is just slow and pragmatic, maybe a little overbearing.
he developed some of his more hardline philosophies because the type of players he's recruited over the past few decades, in south florida specifically, probably needed it. now he's in texas and it looks like overkill.
i'm with you, they aren't going to be that great next year either. if he doesn't win 8 or 9 games next year he's gone.
if they let strong hang around long enough, he will put a program together. that's what i'm afraid of. he builds things to last, even if it takes a while to do it.

I like you, but I have to totally disagree with this post.
Strong is not a program builder, was not a good hire, is completely out of his depth, and is borderline mentally challenged. He can't even verbally compose a coherent English sentence. The guy is real, real dumb. That's why he got passed over for so many jobs. He bombed the interviews. It wasn't racism, as he claims. It's that he came in for interviews and AD after AD thought to themselves: "Would I even let him paint my house? Maybe not."
Unfortunately, this is not a slow burn.
Houston radio is ALIVE today with Longhorn callers who are "giving up" on Charlie. It's happening fast. I was hoping he'd follow the Fran Plan and get 7 wins this year only to bomb next year.
