Longhorn fan here. She knows fuck all about football and Charlie Strong. He might be one of the few coaches to run a clean program. He ran all the criminal element out of the UT program while he was here and most of us were damned glad he did. He unfortunately did not win enough, but you can rest assured that he does…

Don’t really understand the shots at Strong. He’s had his issues in his own personal life, but his track record as a coach at Louisville and at Texas is he pretty quickly weeds out players who have these kind of off field issues. These players are barely “his players” yet.

I would get this if it was a coach who…

It’s a weird double standard for coaches. They’re paid, and regarded, as corporate CEOs for helming major revenue producers for institutions, but yet also reprimanded for failing to perform duties most associated with hourly babysitters...and they’re babysitting legal adults.

Well, be it as it may, she still had no room ripping a coach that had absolutely nothing to do with it.

Sounds like someone saw the chance for free media and took it. Time for that campaign for circuit judge.

Exactly. She is supposed to be impartial throughout. She clearly assumes the defendant is guilty. That’s fine for a deadspin commenter, but it is more than troubling from a judge.

Nice. White lady lectuing black man about how a white institution is run. She wouldn’t have shit to say if the head coach looked like her daddy, or trump.

This would never happen to a white coach, right? Like, no matter how terrible the crime a player committed, no white judge is going to go off on Urban Meyer or Nick Saban or Lane Kiffin.

It is absolutely not appropriate. I’d move to have her recused as she has openly prejudged the guilt of the defendants in a high profile way.

Everyone that defended Strong or put down the judge got my star. I bet she’s tough on young, black victims of violence, too. The air is so thin where she is, maybe she’s not getting proper oxygen.

NAL either but worked in the legal field for years.

This seems more than a tad inappropriate for a judge. Has the kid even made a pleading yet?

She’s really good at reading people.... all the ones she thinks are guilty end up prison.

So given that the judge apparently has a vested interest in the case based on her unprofessional rant that had no place at all in the case, she should excuse herself, anything said at this hearing wiped off due to a lack of neutrality, and the player given a new hearing.

They’re not his recruits and they’ve both been immediately removed from team activities. I’m not sure what else this judge wants him to do, are they even with the team at this point in the year? She kind of comes of as an idiot.

Strong just got there. He hasn’t coached a single game nor has he recruited a single player there. All he can do is kick players off the team after they do something wrong. He hasn’t been there long enough to establish a culture.

Were these his recruits? Does the judge expect him to assume every player recruited by a previous staff is a criminal-in-waiting and just shitcan them all when he walks in the door?

Charlie Strong isn’t controlling enough? We’re talking about the same Charlie Strong, right? The Charlie Strong who kicked out seemingly half of UT’s playerbase for disciplinary reasons? That one?

Judge is totally out of line and grandstanding. Make a ruling and move along. Strong cleaned up trash at Texas and it looks like he’ll have to do the same at USF. Brown left him nothing at UT and amazingly a school with all that money and notoriety couldn’t find a competent QB.
