Great story!  Thanks for it posting primal defense.

When Coach walks into that room with a recruit, that picture on the wall across from them has to be mighty impressive, but not nearly as impressive as that coach standing next to him

Great story! Thanks for it posting primal defense.

When Coach walks into that room with a recruit, that picture on the wall across from them has to be mighty impressive, but not nearly as impressive as that coach standing next to them.

My favorite part of that article was the line about Texas not reaching double digit wins or a major bowl in four years. How many programs dream of the day where four years without double digit wins is seen as a major sign something is very wrong.

Great story!

Really?  No other Division I coach in Texas went to the clinic, and Charlie requested an opportunity to speak?  Yet, the idiot writing the hit piece criticized him.  That is indeed laughable.  What a disgrace!  

Hook 'em, Charlie!

Jeremy Schaap interviews Tim Keown who wrote the articles. Good interview. Starts around 6 minutes.
