What are your thoughts on Patterson?


after this afternoon? i F*ING LOVE HIM!

red mccombs is one of the biggest boosters at texas. he's donated $50mil to texas for their business grad school, $3mil to the softball program to build their stadium, and another couple mil for the north end zone expansion of the football stadium - all are named after him. former owner of the minnesota vikings, the denver nuggets, and founder of clear channel communications.

today he was interviewed by espn radio in san antonio and he bitched up a storm - mostly about being cut out of the decision making.

ESPN SA ‏@ESPN1250 3m
Red McCombs is NOT happy with the hire of Charlie Strong. He's talking about it NOW. http://www.espnsa.com

Wayne Slater ‏@WayneSlater 2m
Univ TX uber-booster Red McCombs tells 1250 AM on the method of selecting Charlie Strong : "I think it’s a kick in the face. " #UT

ESPN SA ‏@ESPN1250 2m
Red McCombs: "I don't have any doubt Charlie is a fine coach. I think he'd probably make a fine position coach, maybe a coordinator." [remember - this is the guy who hired mike tice to coach the vikings]

ESPN SA ‏@ESPN1250 2m
Red McCombs: "I had been talking to Jon Gruden at length any number of times and we had planned on having our next long conversation today."

ESPN SA ‏@ESPN1250 9m
Red: "If we got Gruden in there for 15-years, that we'd get at least 5-titles and we would set records like we've never set before."

Chip Brown ‏@ChipBrownOB 49s
Red McCombs also told @1250ESPN he was shut out of hiring process by UT president Bill Powers and AD Steve Patterson. Not happy about it.



now the two biggest boosters over the past 20 years, the guys who hired mack brown, protected him the last several years, and fought like hell to keep him - joe jamail and red mccombs - are on the outside looking in. that's absolutely HUGE.

man, FSU looked terrible coming out of the gate. Auburn was fired up and their D confused the hell outta that FSU offense.

I'm happy FSU won and we don't have to hear about another MNC for the SEC.

That's irrelevant when he's rarely asked to make plays with his feet.

The people that continually wind bag and complain about the SEC are just as bad as the rabid "SEC-SEC-SEC"- fans...I find it ironic that its so easy to copy the traits of those we hate...


Whats the old saying "We judge others by their actions and ourselves by our intentions"...


And yes I was pulling for FSU. You wont ever see me pull for Auburn after the school basically kept quiet and did nothing about Nick Fairley's dirty play.

Auburn is 22-2 with a starting QB that was kicked off a different SEC team for robbery.

Musberger just needs to hang up the mic. Although it is funny when he starts talking about which team you should have bet money on.

IMO, Red Lightning was the best part of the game.

If Michigan was playing in the Rose Bowl, I for sure wouldn't want them to win. If Braxton Miller came out and said he was supporting Michigan like AJ McCarron did last night, Buckeye Nation would be furious.

Their old OC went to Michigan.

I think James Franklin is a nice hire for Penn State.

wakeboarderdave1, I know about that, just think it's hilarious that Kiffin is getting any run anywhere other than FCS or JC right about now.


Agreed on Franklin. Penn State got a solid coach who should really fit well there.

Wow, surprised Nuss left Bama. I figured his next jump would be to HC somewhere...he's certainly building his resume.

Bama insiders say Nussmeier & Saban didn't see eye-to-eye. On way out. RT @Andee760: why does a guy go from OC at Alabama to TSUN? Thoughts?


And all of the sudden somebody is OK with running uptempo......

Tre Mason announced he's going to the NFL draft today. Not surprising, it'd be dumb to stay for the extra year with his draft value the way it is.

On the other hand, it's not like we're missing out without him with the amount of depth we have in the running game

have to say, after reading this, i kinda got a stiffy working. think i'm going to like this strong dude.

Quote:
Strong and his coaches met with the team and outlined their expectations. He followed that with individual meetings with key players and 2014 seniors. The meeting was "very intense", but there was no yelling or drill sergeant act. No theater. Just a detailing of how things are going to be from now on. No one was thanked for being there. No one was patted on the back for being at Texas.

Strong expectations:

*Players will attend all of their classes and sit in the front two rows of all of their classes. GAs, academic folks, position coaches will be checking constantly now.
*No headphones in class. No texting in class. Sit up and take notes.
*If a player misses a class, he runs until it hurts. If he misses two classes, his entire position unit runs. If he misses three, the position coach runs. The position coaches don't want to run.
*No earrings in the football building. No drugs. No stealing. No guns. Treat women with respect.
*Players may not live off campus anymore, unless they're a senior who hits certain academic standards. The University will buy out the leases for every player currently living off campus and put them in the athletic dorm.
*The team will all live together, eat together, suffer together, and hang out together. They will become a true team and learn to impose accountability on each other. The cliques are over.
*There's no time for a rebuild. "I don't have time for that." The expectation is that Texas wins now.
*Players will learn that they would rather practice than milk a minor injury.
*The focus is on winning and graduating. Anything extraneous to that is a distraction and will be stamped out or removed.
*Strong met individually with seniors and key leaders and re-emphasized that the plan is to win now. They can lead the new culture or be run over by it.
*"I don't want to talk about things. I'd rather do things. We just talked. Now it's time to do."

**
Some quick context and thoughts of my own:
- A large number of sophomore, junior, and senior players live off of campus. They get a generous housing allowance and if they live somewhere cheap, they can pocket the difference. The other appeal is that they have a lot more freedom and they can get away from the watchful eye of the program. Strong thinks it undermines the team, causes underutilization of training resources, encourages players to hang out with old friends who want to drag them down, and creates cliques. Off campus rights will now be earned.
**
- Some of Strong's core values may seem incongruous ("no guns") with the current team or historical culture here, but Louisville generally recruited from an edgier crowd. We do have some knuckleheads though - and the larger message of not acting like a clown is important.
**
- Some of the players still don't understand that Strong's message was specifically to them. Brown's last years were focused on talking about things with no follow up. He was also absent from the team constantly and had little read on the mood or culture of the locker room. Some players may still be under the impression that this is more chatter with no follow through. They're in for a rude awakening. Their bad habits are about to be brought to light.
**
- We'll have some transfers. Some of them will be good players - some may even excel elsewhere. Any school teacher will tell you it's easy to start the year as a harsh disciplinarian and then ease up as you gain trust, but it's nearly impossible to start weak and then try to regain control. Some players simply won't be able to handle the new world.
