Since day one, I've been a fan of Charlie Strong, human being and molder of men.
But I readily admit my skepticism abounded about whether that would ever translate to Charlie Strong, successful head football coach of the Texas Longhorns.
Being a stand-up person and good coach doesn't ensure high level football success (exhibit A: Will Muschamp). With Strong, minor issues myriad added up to major concerns. The PR hatchet jobs. The recruiting whiffs. The on-field blunders. The quarterback conundrum. Perhaps, engineering a complete overhaul of a stagnant blue blood brand while fending off flourishing, new-school competition and upward managing an administration in turmoil was simply too much for Strong to handle.
