Strong a proven winner, just not at Texas

Hatfield, who was part of Arkansas' 1964 national championship team, made it six seasons at his alma mater.
Nutt was advised to get all he could while he could, that coaches are hired to be fired.
That's the climate of college sports when everyone is ESPN-educated.
Strong, who was fired by Texas last Friday after losing badly to TCU, is definitely more than a coordinator, and he proved that at Louisville.
