Charlie Strong took over a Texas program that needed a rebuild. The real kind. Not a reallocation of existing talent or the injection of a few missing components that the media (and a PR savvy coach) brand as a complete re-haul when win totals double. Then fans can point to that program and ask - Why can't you just do what X did at Y?
Texas fans know the quick turnaround narrative. They've lived it. It writes itself like an Escher painting, two hands drawing each other in seeming perpetuity. A self-fulfilling prophecy creating its own momentum that signs the right letters of intent that guarantee even more wins.
