A reliable source from Louisville is reporting that we're currently trying to find a BMD to pony up an $800k buyout to secure the services of their lucky magic 8 ball.

You people amaze me. You all act like you understand football, but most of you can't even see what plainly is going on. Its pure genius. Obviously, we are installing the next evolution of the air raid offense. It's called "chinese fire drill." I just hope the band is practicing the theme from the Benny Hill Show.

My stomach hurts I laughed so hard.

I think there is a chance nothing has been finalized because this may not be the final staff. Both Watson and Robinson have been mentioned as possible NFL assistants.

I think Chuck is gonna draw straws before games with members of the offensive staff. Short straw gets to call plays that day. He is also strongly considering rock, paper, scissors.

Because there are more than 2 candidates for the job, i feel that drawing straws is a much more efficient process compared to rock, paper, scissors. Just my point of view, I'm sure ill have a dozen nay sayers soon.

So you believe Strong is a failure and is as dumb as a box of rocks?

Here is the 40Acres summary, as updated ....

http://www.40acressports.com/2014/01/13/charlie-strongs-texas-coaching-staff-so-far/

A week into the Charlie Strong era and we’re finally starting to learn what the next coaching staff at Texas will look like. We’ve known the names of the defensive coordinator (Vance Bedford) and linebackers coach (Brian Jean-Mary) for a while now but that’s it. Over the weekend, through a series of tweets and leaks from a team meeting almost the entire staff is now known. Huge questions remain about offensive coordinator, but here’s how the Texas coaching staff looks as of today:

Head coach: Charlie Strong

Offensive coordinator: Unknown

Rumors are swirling but no one knows which way this one will go. Shawn Watson was rumored for a while but now others are saying it will be a “home run hire”. This could be anyone from Watson to Lincoln Riley to Mike Groh to Chad Morris. We’ll find out soo enough.

Quarterback: Shawn Watson

A lot of consternation from Longhorn fans when Watson was thought to be the next OC but at the team meeting he was introduced as only the team’s quarterbacks coach. Watson was most recently the offensive coordinator at Louisville with Strong after stints at Colorado and Nebraska.

Running backs: Tommie Robinson

The USC running backs coach is a big hire. Robinson has NFL and college experience and also has a lot of experience in Texas as he spent time at TCU, Oklahoma State, and with the Dallas Cowboys.

Wide receivers: Les Koenning

Mississippi State OC/QB coach who played at Texas as a wide receiver from 1977-1980. Has done stints as an wide receivers coach, QB coach, and offensive coordinator at Texas, TCU, Alabama, Houston, Rice, and in the NFL. Prior to being at Mississippi State, he was the offensive coordinator at Texas A&M under head coach Dennis Franchione from 2003-2007.

Tight ends: Bruce Chambers (?)

A Texas coach since Mack Brown’s first season, Chambers will be on the Texas staff in some fashion. It was originally believed that he would stay on as tight ends coach but recent rumors are that Chambers’ role may transition to recruiting only.

Offensive line: Joe Wickline

In the conversation as the best offensive line coach in college football, Wickline is a guy Mack Brown tried to lure away from Oklahoma State a few years ago but Strong got the job done. Someone Texas fans will love to watch coach on the Longhorn Network, Wickline could mean we finally see a Texas offensive line capable of imposing their will in the trenches.

I dont think anyone is saying Strong is a failure(if you are then this isnt about you). Some people are stating their concern, mostly for the offensive side of the ball. And that appears to be more than fair and the only rebuttal a few ignorant fans have is, "stop whining and get behind strong." Talk football, positives and negatives! Its ok to dislike something "Texas" coaches do.

The criticism goes way beyond comncern, hell I'm concerned. This is polarized, ita a failure, it assumes facts not in evidence and many are making an assumption that they know what the offense will be or how miserable it will be. They just "know."

I get the concern, however the hysteria is pointless, the negative assumptions are foolish.

We don't have enough data to analyze and make rational evaluations of this.

I will say, Charlie Strong knows a hell of a lot more about it than I do and just about anyone on this board regarding college football.

To say I will trust him until he shows me he can't do the job, seems a reasonable position.

Fair point, i agree Hysteria is a bit much but it always hard to judge a persons tone/hysteria over some typed words.

If someone is stating Strong is a "huge failure" or something to that nature, that is obviously going overboard but thats their opinion in a weeks worth of evidence. You and I disagree and thats fine too.

but most of people are concerned and have posted some thoughts that the O has issues. Is it true, who knows but it would be nice to be able to discuss the positives and negatives without extremists on both sides jumping in and ruining what the person is trying to say. Lets discuss what we feel are the positives and negatives as we see them today. Nobody know if the next few years will be 5-7 or 12-0 so no body is right when they guess the next few years.

when you say "trust him until he shows that he cant do the job." does that mean that you cant say something negative about him right now? if true then you cant say anything positive either.
