If it ends badly for Charlie Strong, and the past results plus the current trend lines indicate that it just might, the culprit will be his inability to act decisively or with the necessary foresight to fix what was right under his nose.
As Texas enters the Red River Rivalry at an ugly 2-2, with a defense that ranks 116th nationally in points given up, 105th in passing yards allowed and dead last with just one turnover gained, talk is bubbling again about whether the school might make a move on its third-year coach.
