New Report on Strong

[KellyUT4Ever]

if there is any truth to the Hurtt rumor then Miami is out too. No way they allow one of the coaches that caused their latest round with the NCAA back on campus.

Exactly if Strong leaves, Hurrt will be out by the new coach and no other team will take him.

Naw. Miami can't come close to Texas

After the way BMD and fan base is acting it might be.... at this moment.

How much was spent on the panel?

How has this guy avoided the nickname of Butt?

Miami AD has apparently been in contact to with Al, and thinks he's still the coach per several sources on Twitter. Meanwhile Chuck Carlton of Dallas Morning News has sources that say Texas is adamant about Strong accepting the contract. They aren't even worried about Strong meeting with Louisville. This has Strong written all over it IMO.

And now reports from Miami are getting picked up --

I thought I heard that Miami is his dream job? Alot of people think he could turn it around for Texas but maybe he thinks he can turn it around in Miami and bring the U faithful back.

he may think that, since even at Louisville he has recruited a lot of kids from Florida and, specifically, the Miami area from what I read today

Miami pays Golden about $2.3 mm. We are offering $5mm. Let that sink in.

This entire thing is odd.
Seems that Strong is having second thoughts. Have a call in to a friend.

I called one of my friends; he didn't even know who Strong was. Hopefully you have better luck.

 

[utisdabomb12]

Just about everyone is still reporting Strong to Texas. Saying announcement may not come until Sunday, but they are certain Strong is going to accept the contract per sources.

then your friend is an idiot.

I hope so, because Strong being on the broadcast of the BCS championship game becomes an infomercial for Texas.

 

[utisdabomb12]

I just can't see why the sources and would be this confident about him signing the contract? They have to know something, or be in contact with him as he waits for the AD to get back in Louisville. I put absolutely nothing into him telling his coaches that he was undecided. He had to say that, so it wouldn't leak. It was the only way he could tell his players and AD face to face.

Bevo11...sometimes it not about money my friend and if it is truly his dream job, it wont matter how much money Texas throws down.

 

[texasdobbs]

I'm calling BS...

 

[PureTexan]

He's not taking a $2MM pay cut to go to Miami.

 

[RoyalCrowns]

And to think all Patterson had to do was offer Briles the job and we'd have our coach right now. Instead we're being played by a coach who is lobbying for a coach that will not coach on the 40. Someone needs to tell Chuck this isn't second tier football anymore in a stadium named after a pizza. FWIW

 

[The_real_gaylord_focker]

Stupid. Said it in another thread, but Strong was vocal about empty seats in L'Ville. At Miami, you can count the patrons during TV breaks.

yep, you can hear individual conversations if you wanted.

Strong is the smoke, Gruden is in Austin right now pressing SP for the job.
