Charlie Strong has compiled a great  37-15 win loss record at Louisville. But one of the big financial backers of the UT Austin team, Red McCombs, was shut out of the hiring process. It seems Strong does not have a great record of consorting with alumni booster groups,  which UT Austin has legions deep, or with the media, and UT now has its own network. 

UTSA has done well with its new team But this demonstrates that football and success are a rare combination of brining all the assets together in one crescendo, which can be hard to do.
