Just out of curiosity, what exactly do you think Perrin has gotten wrong? What do you base your opinion on when you assert he has demonstrated a lack of ability to run a college athletics program? Last I noticed, West Virginia didn't materially benefit from Luck's leadership. I haven't noticed any material improvement in the NCAA since Luck moved to Indianapolis.
I'm betting you haven't studied Mike Perrin's leadership much. Matter of fact, I'm betting you haven't ever met him, nor have you talked with many employees who currently work for him.

A head football coach is a ten-year hire. An AD is a twenty-year hire. Of course Perrin isn't the guy to be the long term AD at Texas.
I'm just wondering what generated the comment insinuating Perrin was not competent. Personally, I think he is the perfect guy for the position at the moment, all things considered. I'm looking forward to getting someone in the position to start moving long term projects forward, but for the time being, Perrin is a great choice to be managing things.

^^^THIS^^^ I think we need to settle down and let this season play out. We're all pissed, frustrated, disappointed, etc. But we STILL have a chance to win the conference and go to/win a bowl game. We'll beat Ho-U, IMO. Regardless of what we've trotted on the field the past couple of years, Charlie has played them tough; beating them last year. And wasn't this defense worse a year ago? Let's allow this season to play out and see where we are. As of right now, October 4th, 2016, The University of Texas Longhorns football team is still very much in position to accomplish every realistic goal that was set at the beginning of the year...

I have reached a point that it is no longer about this game or that game. The big question is can Strong take Texas to an elite status/win championships. Well 29 games in and the answer is a resounding no. So we go 8-4 this year. What is the goal next year 9 wins in year 4? How about year 5?. Nope cut the cord now...

He's pretty much played out his need. They need to hire a new AD before they consider going final on firing Chuck, I'm of the opinion that our New AD should play a part in the hiring of a new coach if that's where we are headed..

I totally agree. I have seen enough. In fact I've seen too much. I hope we beat the hell out of blow you and it will not change my mind in any regard that we need a new head coach.

You're missing my point MB. And I think a lot of you guys are being too emotional. Being reasonable, is 8-4 not an improvement? I mean, what were your REALISTIC expectations for this team coming into the season? I was over the top excited after the Notre Dame win as well but I still didn't expect us to go undefeated and win the NC. I'm just as upset about Cal & OSU as the next guy. But it is definitely not time to blow it all up. Regarding 1 game, we beat Ho-U and we're sitting in the driver's seat to win the conference (Ho-U beats Okie Lite in Bedlam). How can you honestly say, if we win conference and a bowl that Charlie needs to go? Heck, going 8-4, not winning the conference and winning a bowl is a vast improvement over the past 2 years. And yes, 9 wins next year is an improvement. Mack had us spoiled with 10 win seasons and no one was more appreciative of his success than myself. But do you guys remember the firemackbrown.com website? And being totally honest, Mack in 16 years only won 2 conference championships while being blownout by Ho-U dang near every year...

What if he runs the table? Goes 9-3 and a bowl win?
I'm not saying it happens. IMO, it's remotely possible. But something to think about. See Les Miles last year.

I expected a 10 - 3 record However it is not the two loses ITS the way we are losing / it's the impression we have never practice together / it's the impression we have no game plan / it's the fact we make no halftime adjustments .......etc etc

I don't disagree with you.
I honestly believe that there's not a game left on the schedule that is a sure loss. Not even OU.
But the problem is that, in a conference that has no powerhouse team, there is also not a game left that is a sure win except for Kansas. That is mind-boggling!

Again I don't think Strong will ever have what it takes to compete with Saban, Meyer, Dabo, Jimbo, Peterson, Patterson, etc etc. He is the 5th worst coach in the worst conference in America.. No thanks.

He probably stays and we're headed for years of average seasons. He is not a championship coach

I'm not convinced he's not. I mean, why are we not even giving Strong 4 years to win the conference but gave Mack, what, 8? And Mack inherited Ricky Williams. Idk, I'm willing to let the season play out and reevaluate then. We go 6-6 and continue to give up 50 pts/game and endure a couple of blowout losses, then perhaps you're right...

I get both sides of the argument and everyone has an opinion, a "source" or has just taken a side either way. I would love nothing more than Charlie and the horns beating the ever living crap out of the sooners and send them home with a losing record. The thing that tips me over to the side than this won't get turned around is the comments of some of the players. I've seen some complacency and comments that do not reflect confidence in the coaching staff. I know it's only a few of them, but makes me wonder how many are thinking it, but not saying it. Once you lose the locker room, it's time for you to go (if in fact he has). Like I said before, anything can happen, but check with me around 3 PM on Saturday.
