Source close to Charlie Strong said he's still undecided on taking Texas job. "Don't know what is going to happen," he said.

Welp

Haha. Texas can't get anybody to accept! Might have to place an ad in the local paper.

The reason I don't think Charlie strong from Louisville is a slam dunk is because it is Charlie strong from Louisville.

Remember when Texas seemed to think they could get Saban?

the reason I don't think it is a slam dunk is teddy bridgewater and louisville and maybe he's not that good.

[wetwillie]

Who would have been a slam dunk?  I think Chip Kelly, Nick Saban, Jimbo Fisher, Urban Meyer are the only ones that I can think of.

sidenote:  do you know the name of the coach prior to Mack Brown at UNC?  Dick Crum.  Dick       Crum.

I agree. Although I think lots of folks consider Briles a "slam dunk".

Mack was a monster at UNC, tho

yeah.  But his last two years is what got him the UT job.  Won 10+ games.  He was 69-46-1 at UNC.  They weren't complete dog crap before he got there (in 1988).  But Dick Crum wasn't cutting it.  Mack went 1-10 his first two seasons.

Mack Brown from UNC?

Leaving aside the programs they inherited (Chuck had it considerably better and was in a much easier place to succeed) Mack Brown was at UNC for 10 years.

His last 6 years got him there.  Don't be a dumbass trying to revise history to try and defend your stupid comment.

we can agree to disagree on the program that they inherited.  I don't want to get into a he said/she said argument with you.  let's just agree that mack and chuck are/were head football coaches and mike gundy is a worthless fuckface.

I don't like how you've handled this.  I'm also not proud of all the words I choose.  Going forward, we can clearly both agree on gundy.  But I'd like to also get some more clarity on the following:

1) A) was Mack's last 6 years more impressive than Charlie's 4? B) All 10?  C) Last 4 vs. Charlie's 4?
2) is a resume like Charlie's a good predictor of success at a program like Texas?
3) using their respective resume's would a program like Texas have evaluated Mack as the better prospect vs. Charlie ceteris paribus today?

1)  A) Yes B) Maybe, showed growth C) No
2)  Yes, although my entire point is there is a larger sample size with Mack and not so much is tied up in Bridgewater.
3)  I think most AD's would prefer Mack based on the larger track record of sustained progress at UNC.  I do too.

I think most folks would take Mack's resume, too, but coaches are less likely to stay at non-elite jobs nowadays due to how much shorter the leashes are at elite schools.

A guy at a non-BCS school with Strong's resume won't last ten years there.  Someone is going to back a Brinks truck up to his house and convinces him to move.

I'm not sure success at a place like Louisville is a good predictor of success at a place like Texas any more.

1) Mack's resume was better, but Charlie's 4 is comparable to Mack's last 4 at UNC.
2) Yes/No.  I wouldn't have thought Tressel's resume meant he'd in at Ohio State.  I'm not sure Stoops' resume screamed a billion big 12 championships.
3) Yes, most AD's want a "safe" hire.

I think most Texas fans and most predictions at the start had hem poaching a BCS HC that already had a track record of success with a lower bound being a guy like D'Antonio (although I don't think his name was specifically mentioned) in that context this must be considered a disappointment.  Then again, when the discussion begins with Saban pretty much everyone else would be a let down.

The Browns and Redskins have requested to interview Vanderbilt's James Franklin for the head coaching openings, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

It was also reported that Franklin interviewed with the Texans, but the team kept the news under wraps. Franklin has done a great job at Vanderbilt, turning a lifeless program into a winning team. We doubt he gets an NFL job this year, but Franklin could emerge at a larger school shortly.

NFL.com's Ian Ropoport reports Oklahoma's Bob Stoops is one of the top two candidates for the Browns' head coach opening.

Rapoport adds the team is very interested in Broncos offensive coordinator Adam Gase, but they would have to wait to interview him. The other choice is Josh McDaniels. Cleveland is apparently intrigued with Stoops because of his managerial style and ability to build a solid staff.
