Interim Texas AD: Charlie Strong has support ‘without question’
Texas won’t be making a coaching change of its own volition according to interim athletic director Mike Perrin.
Perrin was on 104.9 FM in Austin on Friday morning and said Strong had his support. Miami is looking for a coach after firing Al Golden and Strong has been mentioned as a candidate. Reports have surfaced that Miami officials believe Strong would be interested in the job.
Strong, in his second season at Texas, has publicly denied he has any interest and said Wednesday, via Orangebloods that the Miami talk was just a rumor and “We’re here to build a program, that’s why I came here, still have a ways to go.”
Strong’s Longhorns are currently 4-6 and is off this week. Texas finishes the season with games against Texas and Baylor and must win both to be bowl eligible.
Will Perrin’s comments calm down the conversation about Strong and Miami? We’ll see. The discussion may not fully stop until Miami makes a hire.
