Steve Patterson fired (Texas AD)
- Thread starter mctallerton
- Start date
If you have a cancer in your football program and you are serious about getting rid of it you give the guy you bring in more than a year or two to clean it up and turn it around.
I guess we will see if they are serious.
By the way, you have to go back to the Korean War to find a coach that Texas didn't give at least 5 years to make it work.

Names: Greg Byrne (AZ), John Currie (K-State), Chris Del Conte (TCU), Jeff Long (Arkansas) … and oh yeah, remember Oliver Luck (NCAA).
Pretty remarkable, but if Currie goes to UT, which wouldn't surprise me a tad, that would make four K-Staters running 10 programs - UT, K-State, Ku and TTech.

This guy was an ***. He harged alumni 25 bucks to walk on the field during reunions and basically charged everyone for everything. Basically screwing everyone over. Big donors were getti g ready to pull out.
I was thinking from the get go, Strong wont last 3 years there, not because he isn't a good coach, but because of a race issue. Seriously.
Sure, money plays a role, but to call someone a money chaser when they accept a top 5 job is uneducated.
Uneducated in assuming that a Central Arkansas Grad with no ties to Texas whatsoever would just be kicking in the door for some Texas tradition? Please. You can name call all you want, but at the end of the day, money was definitely a big part of it.
I would imagine having the opportunity to coach a team that has the resources for a legitimate chance to win a National Championship has a lot more to do with it than money.
