They should keep Strong around at least for another year.
The Texas job isn't as good as they'd like to believe. A lot of ass kissing and egos that donate a ton of $$$ trying to call the shots, many big time coaches aren't going to want to deal with that. Not to mention the program is a complete shitshow, aTm has far surpassed them as a program and now they are losing to TCU by almost 50 points. Baylor is probably going to beat them by 50 also.
That program has it's work cut out for them and if you fire a coach after the OU game (1.5 years) who in their right mind is going to take the job knowing they get so little time to turn it around?
Strong was like their 6th choice when they hired him. If they fire him now, they'll be looking at AAC and CUSA coaches this time around.
