Sorry Charlie: Texas Should Relieve Charlie Strong Of His Duties At Texas

It's been nearly three years now, and we've seen nothing from you, Texas Longhorns' head football coach, Charlie Strong. You only have a 13-17 record here, and only a 9-11 conference record. I wish I could keep believing in you, but I just can't.

When it was announced that you were coming here, I was stoked. I thought, "Man, this guy is great! Just look at last season. A 12-1 record at Louisville."

After that first year, you got us to a 6-7 record and took us to the Texas City Bowl. Yes, we lost, but I didn't mind it. It was your first year there, and I thought, "You know, give him time. Once he gets the team he wants, things will pick up."

Then we had the 5-7 season the next year. I was upset at this, but it was still okay. I knew you didn't have the players you needed, nor did you have the identity yet. I would give you one more chance.

You started this season 2-0, with wins against Notre Dame and UTEP. I saw the poor defense in game one, but it looked like y'all fixed it in game two. I know it was only UTEP, but it was also only seven points allowed.

After that, though, it was all downhill. You've been outmatched and the bad has come out once again. I'm not saying you're a bad coach, but this just isn't your system.

I hope you can find another team that fits your style better after this season, but I don't think the fans or the school wants you here anymore. Best of luck in your career post-Texas.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
