His head coaching record in years 1-2-3:

1987: 7-5 (5-2 in conference, 3rd place)

With Akers' players, McWilliams' first season was his best year of the three. Yet the pattern of devastating losses was noticeable from the start.

utex 9, oklahoma 44
utex 40, houston 60
utex 13, Daddy A&M 20

1988: 4-7 (2-5 in conference, 7th place)

utex 27, north texas 24

utex 6, byu 47
utex 14, baylol 17
utex 15, houston 66
utex 32, texas tech 33
utex 24, Daddy A&M 28

1989: 5-6 (4-4 in conference, 6th place)

Not sure how he survived this -- he coached his Utex squad to losses in 4 of his last 5 games in Year 3, and two were embarrassing beatdown blowouts in atrocious fashion:

utx 17, texas tech 24
utx 9, houston 47
utx 7, baylol 50
utx 10, Daddy A&M 21

Summary: 0-2 vs. BYU, 0-3 vs. Houston, 1-2 vs. Baylor (lol), 1-2 vs Tech (lol), 0-3 vs. Daddy A&M. Under his coaching, Utex quickly trended downward and had mediocre results all three years, going from 3rd place to 7th place to 6th place. He coached at least two blowout losses (allowed opponents to score between 44 and 66 points on him) each year in an era when teams rarely scored 40 points.

Overall won-loss record after 3 years: 16-18.

Of his 16 victories, 10 came in games against bottom-feeder programs of that era: Rice, SMU, Oregon State, New Mexico, North Texas, and TCU.

He was also a coach under Darrell.

Did not have three losing seasons in a row unlike Charlie.

Won a bowl game unlike Charlie.

Finished ranked one out of three years unlike Charlie.

Was team captain on our 1963 title team unlike Charlie.

Did not have the worst winning percentage in Texas' history unlike Charlie.

Knew not to kickoff both halves unlike Charlie.

Had a better record than Charlie.

Going to be funny next year watching you backtrack if you have to fire Sumlin. Who has a higher winning percentage in the SEC than Bear Bryant did in the SWC, RC had in the Big 12/SWC and Jackie Sherill did in the SWC.

The fact is, 16-21 plus Kansas loss gave us all the cover we need.

But the national media's knives may come out on you guys if you get rid of Sumlin.

You're the ones that aren't giving a hard working black man a fair chance yet we're going to be backtracking?

Except we gave Sumlin six years, cockroach.

No one is going to bat an eye if we fire him for going 6-6 next year.

We also did not have our most prominent boosters dogging him publicly from day one, saying he wasn't fit to be the HC at A&M.

We might get a chance to find out.

Not really worried about any blowback for us. Charlie's record and losing to KU ended any credible complaints.

Literally impossible for a black man to make that team.

You do realize A&M was not integrated then, right?

Only because you ***s own the media.

Write your article on how firing a 16-21 coach who showed zero improvement in record and lost to Kansas while firing 9 assistants when the previous white national title winning coach was fired for winning 8 and 9 games a year was racist. Should be well received.

no **** because your beloved racist royal didn't integrate the football team until 1969.

Also explains chuck's short stint at horn.

Lil brother tsip "Texan1976" sure is trying hard to deflect and redirect the thread topic.

Had we fired David, we might not have been able to be a part of the Miami Cotton Bowl blowout after the 1990 season. Why risk that?

I agree. Shock that nation.

C'mon.

That's pretty fly for a white guy.

Pretty sure this is a sock of that longhornhere fella. Who was, imo, a sock of one of the regular posters here. So he is a sock of a sock!

Tsip76 is feeling pretty salty since the cesspool showed good Ol Charlie the door.

A coach with two top 10 wins this year!

Why was he not given more time?

How did he get a fourth season?
It is rare to fire a coach after three years for performance. Especially an insider who is white.
It happens but it is rare.

In that era, coaches had a longer leash than they do today. Plus, during that time teams still played some quality opponents in OOC games unlike today where the schedules are completely padded. That made the lower W-L percentages a little easier to swallow especially since that during the SWC era, Texas played OU annually as an OOC game.

I'm sure the SJW's and the Sharptons and Jesse Jacksons will understand. "Oh, he lost to Kansas? Never mind."

He had a couple of pictures of DeLoss and some sleazy woman on 6th street?

that was glorious and that nye was legendary for me. Long live Yucatan liquor stand, dudes lifting beers to deflect from traffic violations and hot river oaks chicks. And "that's all I have to say about that"

When you are so liberal you have a "cocks for glocks" ralley, you get a pass for being racist.

Actually it was a cocks for kooks rally.
