New Texas Longhorns Coach BOUND to Be a Huge Disappointment?

But the big hurdle he’ll face is this: he’s NOT the kind of guy who’s going to be able to schmooze with Jim Bob Oilman or Billy Joe Fatcat. He’s NOT going to host big barbecues at a ranch and tell folksy stories to the big boosters who really run things at UT.

Which means… as long as Charlie Strong wins early and often, he’ll have no problems. But if things don’t go perfectly, the rich alums won’t have any emotional connection to him.

Why? Because he’s black? Then that’s not really his hurdle to climb. So can black guys only coach in Texas if they’re bringing in the wins? Is this why Kevin Sumlin still has his job at A&M? :dubious:
