STP wasn't having a discussion with you. He was talking to SHL. There was nothing personal about the debate at all until you intervened. If it was your intent to help...you failed. Not one reason in the world that you should have addressed a comment to STP. Instead of trying to defned youself...you need to acknowledge you didn't handle it the right way and move on.
Agree with this^^^. Saw on another thread that we have a commitment coming this Friday. Would hate to see all of the recruits we have sold on Strong and Texas fade away if we make a sudden change. Not happy with how things are going right now, but it seems that if Strong gets his guys.....and an upgraded staff Texas will be successful. Will be interesting to see how this plays out. Also, talking about coaching others recruits we can throw Stumbkin in to this with his OL success with Sherman's recruits.
Not to mention. What message are you giving to recruits? If the coach you agree to play for doesn't have it all figured out in two years, he's out.

I volunteered my services to the Sweedish bikini team at no charge, they politely declined.
I wrote this in the other thread - but Charlie Strong isn't walking away from being the Head Coach at Texas and 10 million dollars to go work for less money at a less prestigious university and football program with less administrative and fan support. He's not going to leave Texas before the job is finished. He might leave after - or get fired before he finishes - but I don't believe for a second that he would walk away right now.
Agree that Coach Strong won't quit, but I don't think its b/c of the money. He could very well feel more comfortable coaching in the state of Florida and the Miami job certainly interests him b/c of that, but if he quit coaching at UT and then didn't have success at Miami, he would essentially become an assistant coach for the rest of his days in the coaching industry.
Exactly!! How many recruits are going to commit and how many commits are going to stick around when/if they figure out that the UT head coach's position is temporary with the possibility that it'll be permanent if we're in the running for the championship (Big 12 and national) within 2 years? We put up with mediocrity from Mack on the field and on the recruiting trail for 4 - 5 years towards the end. All you've gotta do is look at the kid's that Charlie's brought to know that he's on the right track and will, if given time, get the program turned around.
Exactly - this program was allowed to slowly rot away for 4 or 5 seasons - that isn't going to get fixed in 1.5 recruiting classes.
No reason whatsoever why this year's team could not win at least 6 games and it's not unrealistic at all to have expected to win 7 games this year. After all, this team could very well be 5-3 right now. Next year's expectations should be 8 wins.
