Maybe we should trust Strong and give Watson a chance? Think about this.

Charlie Strong just took the most high profile college football coaching gig in America. His hire ticked off some BMD's.

He is under a microscope that many of us will never understand. Yet he seems so confident that he can do this job.

Watson revived his career in Louisville after his horrendous stint in Lincoln. He also has an opportunity to TOTALLY revive his career.

How much could he revive it if he kicked total butt for UT?

Why would Strong hitch his wagon to a guy if he didn't have confidence in it?

Don't you think Strongs leash with Watson will be short? (I mean he fired his first OC in Louisville after 4 games)

I have started to trust Coach Charlie Strong on the Watson choice if it really is the choice. But who knows.

...charlie has a strong plan...

In an interview with Patterson he blew him away with his plan, let's see how this plays out. Patterson knows whats at stake he wouldn't have hired him if he didn't believe he could win big. Way too much at stake for both!

I don't think we have much of a choice, so let's just go with the flow and see where we end up.

When you have the resources that Texas has, I just can't get on board with the Watson hire. The guy has already had multiple failures in the Big 12 and there's nothing about his offense that is going to get the top kids in the state on board IMO. It's a comfort hire and if I were Patterson, I'd tell him that he should be plenty comfortable bringing his DC, LB, and RB coach. Watson should be a 3rd of 4th choice if your hail mary's miss.

Could he have success? Sure he could, he struck lightning in a bottle with Teddy. But his tack record is full of underwhelming production. I guess that's why I don't get paid to make the decisions though. I'm the best keyboard coach there is lol
