The boosters and their expectations is the primary problem with UT Football. Texas’ boosters expect the coach to win on the field, please them, and win the press conference, too. Mack Brown was the perfect guy for the job through the 2009 National Championship Game. He won, made Texas high school coaches happy, and was a great politician when it came to all the off-field booster demands.
Charlie Strong screwed himself by hiring a poor offensive coordinator from the start and didn’t fix the issue until he was firmly on the hot seat entering his last year. His in-game management was also consistently atrocious. The job was way too big for him. Tom Herman was an ass who thought he was the smartest guy in the room. He pissed off the boosters last year by allowing the team to not sing the “Eyes of Texas” following games until the university stepped in while also upsetting high school coaches in the state. After the Iowa State debacle last year where he opted to not take a chip-shot field goal in the red zone that led to a loss, he was toast.
If you must know, it’s on the indoor tv that we’re occasionally looking at through the glass doors as we throw horseshoes, listen to tunes, and keep an eye on the pit.
Honestly A&M hasn’t looked any better against Arkansas than Texas did and this isn’t in Fayetteville. Long way to go obviously but Arkansas might be the real deal
