AUSTIN, TX. – Charlie Strong started reciting all the reasons Texas is a good football job, which it had dang well better be, lest Strong be labeled a fool for leaving Louisville.

And one big negative. Because this is where the Longhorn coach is right now: dangling over a boiling pot. Strong, considered one of America's brightest coaches a mere three years ago, has led Texas to dubious status.

Strong has a losing record, 13-15, at Texas. He's reached one bowl game in two years. His defenses have hit icebergs, having allowed at least 40 points in 7 of 28 games and at least 30 points in 12 of 28 games.
