They were so nonchalant that final drive like they didn't have 42 seconds left.
That forward momentum shit
Did they blow the whistle though

NOPE!!!!! That was a fucking fumble return for a TD
I'm a Charlie fan, but 6 games aint' gonna cut it. He's gonna have to go at least 500 in the conference and make a bowl and win it!
Having said that if they get another year man, they are gonna be tough. That's a lot of talent on that team, they just need to get that Defense together.

Kansas will be an easy win. West Virginia will probably be a loss. *IF* they beat Texas Tech on the road, they should have the momentum to beat TCU, finish 7-5 and get a big money bowl invite.. Lose to Texas Tech and they can still beat TCU at home and qualify for the playoffs. Charlie Strong will need to win the playoff game to get another year, and if he survives, next year should be pretty strong.
Damn... All truth. Fuck Texas. No one in their mind would seriously want that job with everything they have going on.
What
I think Strong is gone regardless of how the rest of the season goes.
It depends on who is available at the end of the year. A bit of the shine is off Houston's coach now that's he's had a few bad losses. The Big 12 is the weakest of the Big 5 conferences and that may affect coaches interest. Big 12 is all offense. First team in the Big 12 who figures out how to stop the spread consistently will probably cake walk into the playoffs every year.

OU will continue to win the Big 12 due to them generally having the better athletes on defense.
Strong needs at least another two years before he is evaluated for his job.
Two more recruiting classes.

Exactly. Black coaches and black quarterbacks get a much shorter hook than their white counterparts. Charlie Strong never had a chance at that school. They wanted a national championship last year, as unrealistic as that is
We can't pull the race card on this. Dude just did not win games
He entered into a fucked up situation with a depleted the roster that was in capable of winning. Sometimes, the coach can pull it out and turn a shit sandwich into a buffet. Jim Harbaugh did it in Michigan. Most times, the situation you are walking into is impossible. That's why the previous coach got fired.
Charlie is gone and he cannot do anything to save his job. Tom Herman had a deal worked out with Texas in October.
Them niggas ain't play hard for him
Watch them get Saban and all the nigga play they hardest
Watch them get Saban and all the nigga play they hardest
Dude they're not going to get Saban... foh he's 65 years old and 5 titles
Texas resources >>>>>>>> Bama resources
Texas can givehim a number and if he doesn't like that number then we can make up a number that he will like
That's playing big boy ball
Again he's 65 years old.. Saban has no establishment in Texas he would be forced to start over again at age 65 it's not going to happen.
Do u have any idea how much people will flock to be apart of tht Texas staff?
Coach Cal went to Kentucky and took shit over
Keep dreaming
Yeah Saban is close to passing Bear at this point in his life with a couple of years to spare.
omg I'm so tired of the black default being the black card shit. They paid him millions to win now! He has a losing record and has lost games that he should've won convincingly. Now his firing is because he's black? Was the 10's of millions of dollars they paid him because he was white?
Niggas need to stop crying the race fucking card every second
Dude Texas wanted him before they got Charlie and Bama gave him another 3 mil raise. money is no thing at bama and why would he get off the thrown to go to shitty ass Texas where there is no conferences championship. hell they might have a league in a couple years.
They will have a championship game starting next year.

UPDATED 9:35 p.m. Sunday
University of Texas officials determined weeks ago that football coach Charlie Strong would be allowed to coach all 12 games this season win or lose.
Despite Saturday’s stunning loss to Kansas, UT President Gregory L. Fenves and Athletic Director Mike Perrin decided to stick with that plan, a source familiar with both officials’ thinking told the American-Statesman late Sunday.
Fans may be demanding finality on Strong’s status, and the coach may want it, too. However, both Fenves and Perrin still view the 18-to-22-year-old players as student-athletes and do not want them believing their on-field play was the sole reason Strong may be fired, the source said.
“Fumbling is not apart of my role and in my opinion it’s the reason we lost,” running back D’Onta Foreman tweeted shortly after the game.
Other UT players tweeted their support for Strong on Sunday once the American-Statesman, citing a high-ranking university source, reported that school officials have made the decision to fire the coach.
“Letting this man go is equivalent to losing a father,” defensive tackle Poona Ford tweeted. “He has done wonders for all of the players on the team and we want him to continue that.”
While its noble that Perrin and Fenves want to protect their players, the ones on the field shoulder some of the responsibility, too. Strong is 16-20 in three seasons with the Longhorns.
“At some point the players gotta be responsible man,” former UT cornerback Quandre Diggs tweeted Sunday. “I guarantee you Strong gave them everything they needed to succeed.
“Strong didn’t turn the ball over 6 times.. he didn’t get the field goal blocked.. at some point the finger pointing has to go to players!,” Diggs added.
Thus, there will likely be no final announcement about Strong until after Friday’s TCU game, the source said. A press conference will likely happen on Saturday.
UT officials are aware that Strong’s press conference at 11 a.m. Monday could be awkward. The 30-minute question-and-answer session is broadcast live on Longhorn Network. Perrin is not expected to attend, a source said.
The following text is the original story published at 5 p.m. Sunday.
University of Texas officials have decided to fire football coach Charlie Strong, a high-ranking university source told the American-Statesman.
The decision comes after Saturday’s shocking 24-21 overtime loss to Kansas, a team that had lost 19 straight Big 12 games.
“It will happen for sure. The question is when,” the source said.
However, Texas athletic director Mike Perrin issued a statement about 6:30 p.m. Sunday saying there were “rumors out there” about Strong’s status.
“I’ve said it all along, we will evaluate the body of work after the regular season,” Perrin said in a statement. “We have a game to get ready for against TCU on Friday, and I hope our fans will come out and support our team. We’ll discuss where things stand after that.”
Perrin refused to comment about Strong’s situation after the Kansas State loss on Oct. 22. “No talking,” he said. Then, Perrin declined to comment when approached by reporters after Saturday’s loss in Lawrence.
Strong is 16-20 in three seasons with the Longhorns and may become the first coach to oversee three consecutive losing seasons since 1936-38. He currently has the lowest winning percentage of any coach in UT football history and is 5-10 against ranked opponents in three years.
Strong is scheduled to meet reporters at his weekly press conference at 11 a.m. Monday as Texas (5-6, 3-5 Big 12) prepares for its regular season finale against TCU. A source told the Statesman that Strong is expected to coach against the Horned Frogs.
Texas President Gregory L. Fenves could not be reached on Sunday and did not respond to text messages from the Statesman.
Asked when an official announcement could come, “Perhaps in the morning,” the source said. Strong has two years remaining on a guaranteed contract worth $10.7 million.
Two athletic department sources said the coaching staff was busy Sunday preparing for Friday’s game. “We are getting ready for TCU,” one source said.
Asked if Strong has been told, the high-ranking university source said, “He knows what is coming.”
Strong appeared to know the end was near after Saturday’s loss. In a somber four-minute press conference, Strong’s voice almost cracked when he was asked what the loss means for his status. “No idea,” he said.
Strong’s wife, Vicki, was holding back tears in the cramped media room inside Memorial Stadium. Men’s athletic director Mike Perrin declined to speak to reporters afterward.
Several players, including defensive lineman Poona Ford and Charles Omenihu, were seen collapsing on the field. Some players were crying in the locker room afterward.
“What you do is go hug ’em and look ’em in the eye, tell ’em to keep battling,” offensive coordinator Sterlin Gilbert said during the post-game press conference.
UT officials are expected to target Houston coach Tom Herman as a possible replacement. According to Houston sources and those familiar with the coach’s thinking, Herman would have “strong interest” in the position.

It would be different if he was putting together 9-4 or 10-3 seasons. Then we would could argue about giving the brotha some time because he is so close.
Can't really defend Strong when he was posting these numbers
Year 1 6-7
Year 2 5-6
Year 3 5-6
