Texas head coach Charlie Strong isn’t interested in creating a splash with his words, and with good reason. He just wants to put in the work needed to lift Texas back to the top of the Big 12… and all of college football. He’ll likely need more than a year to do so.

Forget the Record; Charlie Strong Shows He’s What Texas Needs

Getting blasted by TCU on Thanksgiving night put an ill-fitting cap on Charlie Strong’s first (regular) season as Texas’ head coach. The Longhorns came into the game riding a three-game winning streak built on a nasty defense and steady improvement from sophomore quarterback Tyrone Swoopes.
