Relieves Watson of play calling duties...seat is getting warm
Personally, I think that move by Coach Strong to Texas was bad for him and frankly dumb. He had things rolling at Louisville and put together a nice squad. Texas was a mess and Mack Brown didn't do them any favors by sticking around. I just don't see them giving him time to rebuild that program, but I hope that they prove me wrong.
His defense doesn't appear to be getting it done either. He'll end up back in the SEC as a DC like Muschamp.The UT offense is just anemic, they can't make Swoopes a dropback guy and Watson can't adapt his playcalling to help Heard either. This has been coming for a while, Charlies' mindset of just having an offense to spell the defense is proving to be a mirror of his time here. I will always wonder what Teddy could have done with Petrino calling the plays. Charlie has always been conservative, and when the team gets behind there is no comeback ability.
I think Strong is in over his head at Texas. He did a great job at Louisville and honestly he was a better fit at Louisville. He had Louisville to a level where it could compete for Championships and was moving into the ACC. Then he leaves for a program like Texas just because it is Texas and they can throw money at him. But Texas is a dumpster fire right now and those Boosters at Texas aren't the most patient people. Strong like to just focus on being a Football coach and he had that at Louisville. But I think he is in over his head with what he has to deal with at Texas.
I question his move to Texas. Like most coaches, he wanted to move toward the top of the food chain. Coaches almost always take better perceived jobs when offered. Sometimes they work out and sometimes they don't. My friend's neighbor is an agent and he said that Strong wasn't really that happy here and they were talking to Arkansas a couple of years before he left for Texas.
Yeah, hated to lose him, but the coach we have back is much more preferable!

He bashed the fans here and left us at the worst time leaving our new coaching staff scrambling for recruits. I appreciate what he did for us while here but I have no hard feelings for what happens to him at Texas either. He made his bed full of Texas money....let him lay in it.
I expect to see him back in the state of Florida in no less than 2 years, either at UCF ad the head man or as an assistant somewhere else.
I'm pretty sure we would have won between 5-8 games each of those years without Teddy. Our offense would have been horrible without Teddy, so maybe 3-7 wins each season.I saw a picture of strong doing the longhorns hand symbol hours after taking the job. I've yet to see him throwing the L. He used us as a stepping stone which helped each of us. He is a great recruiter but without Bridgewater I question how good his success here would have been. He struck while the iron was hot.
