texas head coach charlie strong is indeed very angry!  now of course, we are hereby all aware of this current sentiment permeating throughout the 40 acres.  however, i have just included and exclamation point.  in fact, coach strong was so very angry at his post game news conference upon last saturday night, that he was forcing his verbal articulation to the very point, that his words were hereby becoming a bit jumbled.  as i was sitting in my hotel room in austin, tx.. i actually felt a bit sorry for our head coach.  ok HS, if i may ask your permission to please allow for me to venture a bit deep here.  coach charlie strong is the first black head coach upon any major sporting entity at the university of texas.  now imagine that.  heck, even aTm, had a black head basketball coach melvin watkins, way back in the 90's, before new head coach kevin sumlin, came aboard as their first black head football coach.   please stop for a moment HS mates, and try to think about why it seems to become so very quiet whenever coach strong comes out to perform a news conference.. it is because those that are in attendance, still just cannot believe that there is an actual black man at the helm / podium.  many of our HS mates that are now referencing this particular post, may now be asking yourselves, just why is monarch invoking "race" upon this particular post involving coach strong.  as a black man, i monarch.. fully understands that THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS is hereby a monumental giant upon public institutions of higher learning.  moving forward, everything that charlie strong places his hand upon.. shall hereby be viewed upon with a very small element of race.  this, my fellow HS mates.. is not necessarily a bad thing.  THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS, has hereby played some beautiful and yet very romantic roles in regards to race relations.  1950, john s. chase, a prolific TEXAS alumni.. became the first black american, to enroll at a major public university in the south.  mr. chase, later became the first licensed black architect within the state of texas.  not to mention, john s. chase, also became the first black american president of the texas exes.  i bring forth this historic account, just to highlight the very fact that there are just so many wonderful, rich, positive accounts of racial proclivity that many of our stalwarts are hereby just not aware of.  now which leads me back to coach charlie strong.  you see, as a black man, coach strong has now ventured into a stark realization, of just what he now beholds as the head coach of the university of texas.  coach strong, didn't just lose his very first football game upon his helm at texas.  coach strong, has now come to realize that his football team.. is an absolute disaster.  

upon many of my other forums / websites that i reference upon a daily basis, there were a few stalwarts that kept mentioning just how coach strong's aura during the byu game, became outright steely.  they could see that the coach was indeed seething.  you see HS, as many of you are acutely aware, coach strong has been trying his best to implement as many tried and true psychological methods known to mankind, upon an effort to reach his players. the pit, walking back and forth to denius fields, as opposed to catching buses, suspensions, terminations, placing notices of past games upon the walls at moncrief, you name it.. the coach has tried it.  and yet this team.. (his team) still went out upon the field of play, and lost to the byu cougars, upon the most humiliating aspect imaginable.  there was absolutely no way, that this coach could have foreseen such an atrocious outcome.  some of you, may not agree with me here.. but i strongly believe, that coach strong is now starting to doubt himself.  our new head coach, has now come to terms as per an stark realization as to what he has ventured into at the UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS. and upon my most humble view, this coach just shall not be allotted the sufficient time, to perform the much needed change, that must be administered to hereby correct the myriad of problems facing his football team.  

coach strong, knows within his heart, that national headlines pertaining as per the UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS, must not continue to be of the adverse nature.  texas officials, bmd's, texas legislature, you name it.. simply shall not continue to permit this.  THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS, is just too big and much too powerful, to be allowed to continuously be viewed throughout the world as a failure vs public nuisance upon any measure.  this coach now knows and understands that.. should he not be able to correct the failures as per his football team quickly ( and the key word there is quickly) then he shall not be allowed to stay at texas.

i have come to love coach charlie strong.  i strongly believe upon his aspects of discipline, style, and technique regarding football relations.  i strongly believe that coach charlie strong is indeed a winner.  however, before there was a coach charlie strong, there was indeed a UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS.  therefore, my most endearing and innermost allegiances, shall without a doubt stand with the 40 acres.  HOOK'EM!

Your right I strongly disagree with you. Your believing this that have no basis in fact and there is no proof on what you saying that is true. He went through this at Louisville, so I doubt that Charlie is doubting himself after one lost. His coaching history does not suggest this.

your "strong" stance is hereby much appreciated primal defense.  but please bear in mind, i did state "upon my most humble view".  therefore, my account is solely based upon my opinion.  just as yours.  i FIRMLY believe that coach strong just did not believe that the football team that he inherited, was as problematic as he thought beforehand.  after last saturday's shocking defeat.. he can now stand back and view it for what it is.  upon my view, he just shall not be presented with enough time to completely change this culture vs damage.  recruitment, is strong ingredient as per this forthcoming change.  recruits, shall need to buy in and trust, that TEXAS is the place to jump start their careers.  and from this particular standpoint alone... time, is indeed of the essence.  

 
Monarch, I don't understand your premise. .. the ship is not sinking .... the ship is being rebuilt from the inside right now and people are unable to see inside the ship to see the restructuring that is happening. ... now I really don't know what I just said but I think I'm right...

 
Sorry, monarch.  I call BS on this.  Texas is not Strong's first rodeo. 

Hook 'em!
well java, i am indeed happy that you have decided to refer to the term "rodeo".  because if our dire situation, was as simple as a rodeo, then i would agree with you wholeheartedly.  nonetheless, our situation is hereby more akin to the HOUSTON LIVESTOCK SHOW & RODEO (the world's largest rodeo).. and therefore, it would indeed take the whole city of houston vs harris county, to complete any dire mishaps vs media adversity.

td, your heart as well as your point are both on track here.  trust me, i get it my friend.  however, please understand my point.  our ship has indeed sunk!  badly!  heck, non of us really knew just how deep.  why on earth, do you think that we were all so very shocked at the outcome of the matchup vs byu.  even our head coach was completely stunned and embarrassed at what he seeing right before his very eyes.  coach strong, is a man of deep principle. however, he strike's me as a man for whom has seen it all.  he now has become abreast to his task at hand.  i just do not believe that THE WONDERFUL WORLD THAT IS TEXAS shall allow for him the time to fix the damage.

Look I'm not going to throw daffodils and lollipops on the BYU game... but sometimes in sports you get your ass kicked and that is what happened. .. I know some people think that the season is lost and maybe they are right... but sometimes a ass kicking fixes more problems than a win would... CHARLIE will be ok and so will Texas. Just sit back and watch this get fixed TexasStrong style...

 
I understand your frustration, but not sure I follow your argument.  Are you saying that since Coach Strong is black you are concerned he won't be allowed the time needed to fix the current mess thus making his race a factor?  Or are we taking race out of this and you are still concerned that he won't be allowed the time to fix the team? 

We are two games into season 1 of his tenure.  While I myself am sick and embarrassed by Saturday, I still believe Charlie is the right man for the job. 

On a side note I went to college at UCA with him and actually had a few classes with him, so I have followed his career very closely through the years.  This is not the first time he has faced an obstacle.

As quoted above this is not his first rodeo.  He has fixed a similar mess at Louisville and I firmly believe he will turn this around.  You have got to give him more time than two games before predicting things like this (his demise at the hands of the powers that be before having time to turn this thing around)

Or, if you have some firsthand knowledge about the thought process of those who have a direct influence on his status then please do share as this would definitely be a game changer.

Thanks for your input but let's give it a season and evaluate his work as a whole.  I still believe, as I have said before, that this team will be much better in December than it is in September.

 
if charlie is doubting himself 2 games in, we've damn sure got the wrong guy. 

i hope you're not implying charlie won't be given a long enough chance to fix this because he's black.

cc11, thank you for presenting the query.  therefore, please allow for me the opportunity to explain as to why i brought our head coaches race, into the premise as per my post.  as a black man myself, i for one, can only imagine the glowing pride of accomplishment, that our head coach charlie strong must have been feeling upon his arrival, as per his very first press conference at belmont hall.  as we all saw first hand, coach strong was hereby glowing, smiling from ear to ear, shy, nervous, and heck.. even a bit scared.  this man has hereby stated others, regarding all of the adversity that he has hereby faced upon his life.  therefore, as the first black head coach at the UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS... this coach knows within his heart, that he has hereby arrived.  therefore, failure, upon any aspect while he is at the helm.. is simply not an option.  upon my most humble view, this is a small part of the reason why coach strong was so very angry during, and at the outcome of the gridiron matchup vs byu.  now, should some of our HS stalwarts still not understand my assumption.. then trust me, i get it.  but i am just trying in earnest, as per the standpoint of a black man myself... just what i thought our head coach was hereby feeling.

hey you, hey you, hey you, was my initial post just too long for you to comprehend?  if so, then please do me the honor of referencing my post to ccausey11.  should be much easier...

damn near all your posts are too long to comprehend. 

you seemed to imply that if CS didn't make it, race would be a factor. maybe i misread your intent.

 
This is all BS. What happened Saturday night, (at least the fact we got our a**** handed to us) was mostly due to a pitiful offensive game plan because the coaches did not trust our QB to handle the type of game plan and play calling required to beat a more talented team than ours. When your OL sucks you have to spread a team out and throw the football with a quick passing game. You have to use misdirection and force the defense to run sideline to sideline ( wear their butts out chasing whatever speed you have )...NOT RUNNING INtO A BRICK WALL TIME AFTER TIME, like we did. I put this loss on Watson and Charlie's stamp of approval of it. 

If we go into Jerry World with the same crap, UCLA will hang 40+ on us quicker than BYU did. Our defense is not talent laden enough to shut teams down time after time when the offense continues to lay eggs.

Zone read like Vince ran ??? That was not what we were looking at. If it was , then Swoopes sucks at it.  I think it was a called zone dive. Several times had Swoopes pulled the ball and kept it, he would have gained 5,10, or 15 yards...Instead he handed off and the RB was swallowed up with no place to run. SMH

I kept thinking, " Damn, is Greg Davis back ? This conservative crap is gonna get us killed..."

 
If CS is doubting himself after two games then he most certainly is the wrong MAN for the job. I capitalize that because I don't give a tinker's damn the color of his skin. Can we please move past that and focus on his coaching skills. If we must talk color the let it be burnt orange! Long live coach Strong and Go Horns! BTHO UCLA

 
Please forgive me for repeating myself, but I still call BS.  Strong didn't fail on Saturday.  What we witnessed was the State of the Program, as Mack left it.  It couldn't be fixed in one off season.  It will be better by the end of the season.  It will be much better next year.

Strong is a great coach, and he will not be fired after 1 year or after 3.  He will be given time to right the ship.  The melodrama needs to stop, for Pete's sake.

it certainly seems that you are hereby hell bent upon being provocative.  it is hereby amazing to me, just how some people become so uncomfortable towards any discussion mentioning race.  (must be some skeleton's hidden in the closet) i have tried to clarify my premise regarding my inclusion of race, as per the standpoint of a black man myself.  should you continue to purposely take it in a totally different direction.. then that is indeed your problem.  

It would seem to me that's exactly what he's implying. However, it's "upon his most humble view".
