One highly influential Longhorn power broker can count, and on Wednesday said Strong needs at least eight wins to show progress from an 11-14 record.

---

In his final three seasons at utx, Mack Brown went 8-5, 9-4, 8-5 (25 wins) and was fired.

Charlie Strong went 6-7, 5-7 in his first two seasons at utx. If he wins 8 this year, that still only gets him to just 19 wins in three seasons: that is 6 fewer wins than the 3-year win total that got Mack fired.

Recruits are being told that Charlie will be back for the 2017 season even if he only wins 7.

What does the OR board think? Can Charlie win 8? If he only wins 7, will he be fired?

My [cough] prediction: 14-0, defeating A&M in the national championship game.

7 wins shows progress.

The way he's recruiting guarantees he will be back in 2017. It's just a matter of time before Texas is back.

Recruits believe in him

I believe in him.

Back? Back to what? Losing seasons are more the norm at tu than championships.

I thought 8 wins wasn't their standard? What happened?

I thought 8 was the limit where the Horns fire the coach, or so they have trumpeted over the years.

Depends on who and when tu hires a new AD.

But, 90-10 Strong is fired before December 1.

I'm with Hawg on this one, without reading past her observation.

However, I stated real early last season, Chollie out by November, so don't take my take, but stevo, rv, hairywhorns, you clowns need to wake up to reality.

It ain't gonna get any better,

33, I'll cut you some slack, won't bunch you in with the others

My thinking is there is a small chance tu hires Jurich from Louisville. If that happens, I don't think he fires his own guy, Strong. Or not willingly, at least.

No way. Chuck will be here in 2017.

Texas turns it around this year.

I think Texas will have a decent record this year. As Hawg pointed out, Baylor is going to suck this year, if not by on-field performance, because the refs will make sure they don't do well. They will beat Baylor, Tech, K-State, Iowa State, and Kansas as well as Utep. At cal and vs. Notre dame will likely be losses, as well as OU, but TCU is going to likely take a step back and OSU and WVU are winnable for the sips. They will likely be bowl eligible, probably get to 7 wins, and do stand a chance to get 8 or even 9.

Plus Baylor just released their 2016 commits.

just saw the scroll too, tceh tards on TV, when they should be loading up the Kia for pizza delivery
