As for Charlie Strong: For those wondering how successful hell be as the new coach at Texas, I said lets give the man a chance and I stand by that. In four years at Louisville, the man was 37-15, went to a bowl game all four years, won three of them and finished his last two seasons 11-2 and 12-1. No one is questioning his abilities as a coach; just whether hell be able to survive because hes all about football and not the politicking that comes along with the job. It was at that time that I reminded @RealSkipBayless on ESPN First Take that theres a difference in corporate America between White and Black Folks: White Folks come to work with a job to do. Black Folks come with a responsibility. Its Black Folks who are constantly implored to give a voice to the voiceless. Who constantly are reminded of their responsibilities to speak up and tackle issues for a group of folks devoid of a voice to do so themselves. The thing is, that responsibility is too much for folks sometimes. Some folks want no part of it. They just want to be able to do their jobs and do it well, and leave the rest of it to other folks. And, most times, theres absolutely nothing wrong with it, because having to harbor that responsibility is a weight they simply cant handle. And when theyre forced to do so, the worse parts of themselves are revealed. So I made that point about Charlie Strong this morning, specifically, to point out that Texas should be lucky it has him. It should be solely focused on his ability to produce as a football coach, and should spend all of its time catering to his needs than worrying about their own. That way, theyll win games. Their institution returns to prominence, and everyone wins -- a helluva lot more than theyve been winning in recent memory. Thats all I have to say...........For now!
