I still think Charlie Strong is a good coach. Those crazies at UT are not a good fit for him, but I think Strong could potentially have success somewhere like State.

I keep saying this. sorry for being redundant.

The UT job comes with more drama and shenanigans than melrose place, or days of our lives. That drama has little to nothing to do with football. the UT head coach needs to be more of a politician than a foosball coach.

The one they have now and the one before in his latter years might be better at corching foosball

I like PJ Fleck. Great energy and snappy dresser (no shorts)
Strong..maybe a DC...shot his wad as a D1 coach

He had success at Louisville though. Surely Louisville is more comparable to State? At UL: 7 wins, 7 wins, 11 wins, 12 wins. That's pretty damn good. And Texas SUCKED when he took over.

Fleck's a good recruiter too. Has recruited the best class in the MAC three consecutive years I believe. He'd be my choice if our job came open.

It's difficult to recruit and play in the SEC West (well duh). If we take someone who just got fired, I think it will be even more difficult to recruit from what will be perceived as a UT reject. Grab an up and comer.

That would be a great hire if Mullen left for some reason.

I'd take him

He suffered from having to run off a lot of Mack Brown's entitled players. I also don't think he ever really had all of the boosters and fans behind him.

Agree. Anyone know exactly what his salary is? He signed an extension last year.

I have to agree with that... Would love to have Fedora if we can't have Mullen. I'm never a big fan of picking up a coach that's been fired somewhere else. Especially if that other school is a school with the resources that Texas has.
