I would be willing to wager a small sum that Charlie is gone Sunday morning unless he wins Saturday. With boosters like Red McCombs publicly saying not to drag it out if the decision has been made to fire Strong, there is going to be pressure on the administration.
This is the article in USA Today hopefully the link works. Charlie Strong might have done a preemptive strike. The sportswriter says they used him to recruit a talented team. I doubt Texas intended it to happen that way.http://usat.ly/2dCpYVt

Strong is gone for sure, either right after the OU game (if his team loses) or at the end of the season.
I strongly believe that Texas will pull out all the stops to hire Coach Herman, who would have to see the Texas job as the opportunity of a lifetime. (I do not believe that Les Miles will be considered.)
Texas will aim high and spend a lot in the wake of the Strong debacle. Herman is right in Texas' backyard and is the "alpha male" of potential coaching candidates.
When I look at what Texas has in terms of money, facilities, stadium, geography, football history and incredible gyno-American talent...I think most coaches in Herman's situation would be very attracted to coaching there.....but I hope you're right.I agree. Especially if money is Herman's motivation. The Horns will out bid LSU. I'm in the minority I know, but I don't think the Texas job is quite as wonderful as it once was, and a lot of that is the Big 12 connection. Getting an opportunity to coach at a major SEC school in a state without any competition for elite Louisiana recruits may be the better job, IMO. Still Fisher may make Herman's decision simple. Frankly, Fisher has a better job now. Again, just my opinion.
After so many disappointing losses to the horns over the years, a little voice in my head says not to count the horns and Charlie out until 2:30 on Saturday afternoon. Seems like they always find a way to get up for the Sooners and get out of the Cotton Bowl with the W. With our weak D and Charlie taking over the horns' D, this game may be much closer than the 10 point spread that Las Vegas has come up with.
