So...about Charlie Strong at USF...
It's facile is what it is. Charlie wasn't nice. Not any nicer than Mack or Tom or anyone else. He could be brusque, chippy, and unpleasant. And he apparently cheated with a married woman. He was a guy that knew some things about football but wasn't up to running a program. He's sloppy and inattentive in general. He didn't know his players. He didn't know his team. He didn't know HS coaches and he never made an effort to improve. Christ he didn't even know what offense he was running.

Mack Brown Tarheel Football: The Orange Slice Boogaloo
Remember when Carolina hired Lou Holtz? And then Steve Spurrier? Oh wait that was South Carolina.

Mack Brown Tarheel Football: The Orange Slice Boogaloo
I think Mack would do well back at UNC. It's a good gig for him, he did well there back when, and he's probably still a good coach. All he has to do is get past some also-rans and lose to Clemson and a couple other hefties each year and BOOM. Mack's back. I've always liked UNC. We lived in Charlotte for a bit when I was young and it was my first game. Got to hug Ramsey. Can't say I'm a fan but I like to see them do well.

Same here. Andersen too. I'm still in on Doeren, though! Seems familiar somehow... Is he qualified to be a position coach, maybe a coordinator? But not a head coach?

Tell Me About Texas a&m
On a related note, Sumlin choked away a 16 point lead in the final 4 minutes to lose to Arizona State and miss a bowl game.

But they're SECOND PLACE in the SEC West, which is pretty much the NFL. Any other team in the country wouldn't finish any better than fifth.

Kliff Kingsbury is out as Tech coach - Introducing Matt Wells! (Utah St.)
We just observed that Harbaugh could use an offensive coordinator if he wants to keep his job.

Michigan @ Ohio State. 11 am CST. Fox
Harbaugh seems determined to play his style of play. But even Saban had to come out of his comfort zone and open up the offense to stay competitive, and Harbauhj will have to as well or he won't have the chance.

Jim Harbaugh NO LONGER coaches at Michigan
Need to keep an eye on this thread

Oklahoma @ West Virginia
Holgo is excited

Oklahoma @ West Virginia
Coaching. That first decision to go for the TD inside the 10 instead of kicking shows the mindset. They have to score or they'll lose. Now that attitude is infecting the team. Holgo is a bitch and OU is in his head. Mack Brown special.
-
Oklahoma @ West Virginia
They need to get their heads in the game. Holgo and crew are obviously intimidated by OU and he has his team believing they need to score a TD every possession or they'll lose. Panic mode is incoming, be ready. Stupid coaching. Wish they played us like that.

I keep switching the the Apple Cup but the production is awful and it's snowing now. Wazzu offense is doing that thing Leach teams sometimes do in high stakes games

Dear God these are the worst defenses I've ever seen

Oklahoma @ West Virginia
All WVU needs to do is get pressure on Murray. I count him 2/4 when under pressure and the one time he's been hit he coughed up the ball. That's how we beat him.

I don't miss the blowouts at all. How Mack managed to do that with the teams he had is beyond me. Eh. I think it was inevitable. You just pulled the trigger first. This has been the worst period for Texas football...maybe ever. We were all irritable.
-
Tom "the turtle" Herman [Lame Duck or greatest 5d chess player ever?]
I predicted 8-4 this year, and we surpassed that. I didn't think we'd be playing in the Big 12 CCG or a major bowl this year. I'm very impressed.

Back in the big 12 championship game for the first time since the McCoy days
It wasn't pretty but we got the job done. Very proud.

Any Family Members Ever Play College or Pro Sports?
My uncle was a lineman for the Hoosiers in the 60s, joined the USAF after college to avoid the draft and retired in the 90s. He and my mom grew up in Speedway, Indianapolis and were buddies with all the Indy 500 folks. Still tight with a few of them. First cousin that played DB for an NAIA school in Kentucky, and his son did the same. He's won some championships as a HS coach. The best story, by far, is the time my brother-in-law told the family that he made the Dallas Cowboys after a local tryout in Tyler, TX 15 years or so ago. That one's become a holiday tradition in our family, although we wait until he and my sister aren't around to tell it.
