Joe Schad says Strong has backing at Texas.

Other articles, this week, said Texas was not going to pay $29M ($4.3M to buy out the Louisville contract and $5M/yr for 5 years) and walk away from Strong.

How many years does Charlie have left on his contract?

Does it matter?

They'd have to buy him out...but Texas has ego, pride and money to spend

jrifkin48

10/6/15 4:28pm

3 years IIRC

I thought about Chip Kelly to UT the other day when Philly lost again. Not sure

10/6/15 4:27pm

Strong has at least another year at Texas

workindev

10/6/15 4:27pm

The AD who hired him has already been fired. That's not good for him

jrifkin48

10/6/15 4:28pm

Yes, but they will give him at least 3 years

workindev

10/6/15 4:31pm

Except his team is imploding at the moment

ManicBlue

10/6/15 4:34pm

I don't think I agree with that. The Oklahoma State and Cal games were both

workindev

10/6/15 8:45pm

The imploding was the players complaining to the press and taking it public

Heard the opposite about boosters

Maybe make another run at Patterson?

Kw is good but Texas will want a sexier pick

10/6/15 4:28pm

You've seen those tight Whitt shirts? Checkmate

jrifkin48

10/6/15 4:29pm

I'd put Whitt in the same category as Strong, as far has big names go (KW is a

10/6/15 4:30pm

Yep. They think they deserve urban or Kelley or a Harbaugh type

10/6/15 4:36pm

Who are the sexy picks who would move?

Gustav

10/6/15 4:49pm

What about Sumlin?

Millhouse

10/6/15 4:52pm

Hard to see him making that move

Gustav

Thats OK, Kalani had a nice "exit enterview" with the good doctor, and Gary

Texas boosters are giving him their confidence. I think he gets one more year.

10/6/15 4:30pm

Not after yesterday. When players are going to the press...

Why would KWitt leave Utah for Texas?

You have old info ...

ManicBlue

10/6/15 4:45pm

You think Texas would throw $10-12m at Whit? Uh, no.

Tokolosh

10/6/15 4:44pm

of course not ... that's why he won't coach there. they'll offer someone else

Kyle Whittingham's salary is currently $2,710,000 with incentives that could

Guess I had old data on kyle's salary ... either way, Texas is not offering kyle

ManicBlue

His pay is public so you don't have to guess.

Tokolosh

10/6/15 5:09pm

He already has more money than he'll ever spend

FiveTen-BuckEighty

10/6/15 4:40pm

The more money he makes, the more he can leave for kids and grandkids

The article you linked to says money wouldn't "be a critical factor"

10/6/15 4:35pm

Yes it does. The earlier articles said the opposite.

Everyman

10/6/15 4:50pm

Hope its KW.

Walter Bellhaven

I think Whitt likes being at Utah. I don't see him ever leaving for a bigger job

Polecat

10/6/15 4:44pm

It's perfect for him - makes a good salary, lives in Zion, has his program

10/6/15 4:46pm

hates his AD ?

ManicBlue

This begs the question- if the saints were ever asked to leave for Jackson

Roderick would probably go . . . and then move back to SLC the next day

Everyone else is wrong. it will be Bryan Harsin from BSU.

Texas will not take Whittingham. Go big or go home. Chip Kelly.

idacoug

Not gonna happen. He gets 2016--at least.

10/6/15 5:11pm

Someone should let them know Gary Crowton is available
