Why would him being at Texas keep him out of south Florida? It will make going to play for coach Shannon even more attractive to south Florida kids.

Because he doesn't have to leave Texas for recruits. Rarely do they go out of state. We are no different which is the huge upside to the location of both schools

He'll still recruit south Florida. That's where he has the best connections. He won't just give it up. I think that policy of filling up a class with Texas kids in the summer will come to an end too. He'll do things his way.
 
This is huge for the black coaching community I hope he does well because this is a truly great opportunity to help promote more black head coaches #Strongway

Being black is not significant. Be a good coach, and you will get jobs. Too many people are relying on this minority hire crap and I am a minority.

Being a black head coach @ Texas is significant...how many other black coaches in the big 12?...
 
How many black coaches period I have no agenda but im young and I know its something wrong there are plenty of capable black coaches that don't get the chance to coach we can play football he'll dominate it but ill be damned if we can teach it. I for one understand best man for the job and am all for it but its maybe 10 black coaches on major college ball and if coach strong can bring Texas back to the dominate status that will go along way with opening up more opportunitys

The fact that people try so hard to bring attention to the race issue is the reason why it stands the way it does. Do you think someone wants to be pressured into hiring a coach just because he's black? How about how many black HCs in college football? How many up and coming black coaches do you know of? There aren't many moving up the ranks quickly right now because the individuals as a coach still need to prove their skills. Just promoting a man to HC because he's black does no justice to himself or other black coaches and worse, it sets black coaches back everytime one fails. When they prove themselves as coaches, they will get the opportunity from someone. Even the white coaches have to work their way up and impress someone. When someone complains about the lack of black HC's you just open an opportunity for those to bash one or shut the door on them everytime one fails after being given a shot. Look at Randy. He got the shot and he failed. Turner Gill got a shot and failed. Then you have guys like Sumlin and Franklin who got a shot and did something with it. Strong is getting the opportunity because he earned it, not because he's black. Black Coaches will get a shot when they've earned it. It will take time, but having one that has success should not have an impact on another one. Texas would much rather win right now than worry about black or white HC and Strong was their best option.

Now that's just naive. I agree with almost everything you said except that little bit. I understand the racial fatigue (I'm tired of it too), but denying that there are still some underlying racial issues is taking it too far. Many people still do have negative opinion (whether they admit it to themselves or not) about blacks (black men in particular) when it comes to intelligence, leadership and success. Seeing a black man have success at the highest levels by displaying those traits will go far in changing those negative opinions to positive ones.
