Texas loses 50-7: players tweet about transferring at HALFTIME
It is getting really hot for Charlie Strong at Texas, a guy I thought was a great hire but sheesh, this does not look good. I don't care how good TCU has become, you can't be Texas and lose 50-7, espicially when you are known as a defensive coach. Plus at least one, and reportedely two, pleyers were tweeting about transferring DURING the game.

I'm not. He deserves to end his career vs. UM the same way Lloyd ended his vs. OSU.

A&M will take him just for spite.
Or Nebraska. Not just for spite, but because they could also actually use him.

So TWIS is practically writing itself.

TWIS ought to be one for the ages this week.

If they had any sense, they would let it become "The Big 12 Network" and set up a revenue sharing model like everyone else has. Before they drive away even Oklahoma and they are left in a world where they can't even recruit or compete with Baylor, TCU, and A&M.
Which is exactly why it will never happen.

He was FaceTiming last week in the locker room.
FACETIMING! DURING A FOOTBALL GAME!
Charlie Strong has lost all control.

To be fair, OSU had a 13-year transition in which they endured John Cooper, the ultimate coaching Manchurian Candidate.

or Tennessee (who's still going through it)
October 3rd, 2015 at 10:06 PM ^
it could get ugly for Strong down there.
October 3rd, 2015 at 11:18 PM ^
They've done a terrible job recruiting QBs.
October 3rd, 2015 at 10:09 PM ^
He's toast. Dantonio should of been the guy for that job.
October 3rd, 2015 at 10:11 PM ^
Who says it's too late?
Charlie Strong is done. They're 1-4 and still have to play Oklahoma, Baylor and Kansas State.
October 4th, 2015 at 12:22 AM ^
Don't forget about Texas Tech and at West Virginia! Whole lot of ugly for Texas fans.
October 3rd, 2015 at 10:16 PM ^
Dantonio is, alas, a very good coach, but is he well-suited for Texas? Michigan State allowed him the time to develop his program and does not demand much from a coach as the head of a program; at Texas you're expected to charm the donors as well as produce a football team. Further, while Dantonio has improved his recruiting, recruiting great players has never been his strength; he gets his guys and coaches them up. That has not, in the past, been the Texas profile.
And in that state it never will be. Now, perhaps a coach can adapt--Urban Meyer's offense certainly handled top recruits just fine--but Texas is a place that demands success right away. Strong is practically gone, and he hasn't even coached a season and a half yet.

October 4th, 2015 at 12:01 AM ^
You can be a good coach and fail at Texas.
Just like Rich Rod...a good coach, but he failed at Michigan.
At Texas there's more than just coaching football. Dantonio may not be suited for those things. If he's not - he will fail. Doesn't mean he's a bad football coach.
October 4th, 2015 at 12:45 AM ^
Like RichRod found out coming to Ann Arbor, at the high profile jobs there's a lot more to the gig than just coaching. Dantonio can scowl around East Lansing and they're happy. At a school like Texas you have to be the personality and public persona of the program too. That isn't Dantonio's forte and that's why he'll probably retire in East Lansing

why? I dislike him because he is an insufferable prick. of course, it'd be better if he was an insufferable prick who lost some more games to Michigan...
October 3rd, 2015 at 10:26 PM ^
October 3rd, 2015 at 11:03 PM ^
but with short hair. bug eyes, bizzare personality, strange man. hat tip for being a good coach, but a very strange man nevertheless.
October 4th, 2015 at 7:59 AM ^
having met rodney a few times i just can't associate him with dr. strangelove down there in EL. rodney was laid back and a good guy, the opposite of d'antonio.
October 4th, 2015 at 12:04 AM ^
It's Nick Saban or BUST for them.
Just like it was Harbaugh or bust for us...no one else would've been able to be a complete home run for Michigan. No one (I don't consider Saban or Meyer options...)
Meyer was a home run for OSU, Harbaugh for us...Saban for Texas (or anyone else).
USC...they basically need Pete Carroll back. Miami...I actually think they'd be the easiest power school to bring back from the dead. Why? Because if you can recruit SoFla...you're golden.
October 4th, 2015 at 1:49 AM ^
I see what you did there...
Oh and Miami should just hire Butch Davis back.
He fixed the academic problems with the program after Erickson left and got them back to prominence in the 90s and early 00s.
October 3rd, 2015 at 10:34 PM ^
He would have been the perfect coach for Texas. Dantonio gets respect from his players and he gets results on the field. It took Saban 4 years to get a winning record at MSU. Recruiting at MSU can't be easy. Skip Bayless could land a top 10 class down in Texas if he was coach.
October 3rd, 2015 at 11:08 PM ^
+1 for random Bayless bashing.
