Charlie Strong Has Judge Bashing Him

[Pedernal]

Another big headed idiot that thinks their job makes them better than others, she just happens to be a judge.

Did he ever have any problems with student athletes making trouble at UT? I can't recall any similar instances during his tenure in Austin. If she's so desperate to blame someone, blame the parents. This lack of respect for authority or lack of respect for women (or people in general) begins at home.

When he first got to Austin he kicked like 10 guys off the team. Later he booted two more that were arrested for sexual assault. Those two were subsequently found innocent but were still not allowed back on the team.

So Charlie has no accountability in this?

he has accountability to take action and punish the kid, but he's not responsible for the actions of the kid. He isn't even responsible for that kid being at the school. The judge made a character attack on him. She has no place to make those comments.

This issue is now in HER courtroom. She now has the accountability to make sure justice is served, whichever way it goes. (I have not seen evidence so I can't convict the kid). But once charges were filed and placed in her courtroom the accountability of the actions lies with her and that courtroom. She can either hold the kid accountable or find someone else to blame. She has the power.

Further evidence that the judge knew nothing of what she was talking about (nor did I evidently LOL I stopped following UT football when I started at LSU in 2009). Strong apparently has a history of a "no-nonsense" mentality towards trouble-makers.

No doubt. His coaching left a lot to be desired but he was tough as they come on the discipline side of things.

Can't be said much better than that.

Running a athletic program is like running a business. (yeah i said it, it's all about money) When your employees (athletes) are gone from their job, they are no longer your problem. If they do something that warrants firing then they will be gone. You can't hold someone else responsible for an adult doing something on their own time.

A lot of great points here and I agree, the judge was out of line, but I can't help feeling like the coaching staff, and the discipline instilled in the athletes, plays some role in their behavior off the field or court. Lou Holtz come to mind, those athletes dressed in suits and said yes mam and no mam.

Absolutely, but the reality is he inherited these players and hasn't had enough time to instill everything he would probably like to instill in them. Changing these kids behavior and mentality takes time. Its not like he's been there a couple years.

Lou Holtz may not have had the same impact in his first 6 months as he did in year 10

I agree with everything here. The judge is an idiot and I would be in favor of removing her from her seat for this. She is way out of line. It is her job to run the courtroom, not lecture others. First, her statements indicate the player is guilty. He may very well be guilty but in her position she better have the stance innocent until proven guilty. If not, she is in the wrong spot. Second, Charlie is at best a distant 3rd behind the individual (he is 18 and should be held responsible for his actions) and the individual's parents (and they are a distant second). As others have stated, this is what is wrong with the country. Blame is shifted from the person who should be held accountable. I bet she blamed the teachers and principals when her kid messed up at school. Charlie could have more responsibility in this if he had recruited the kid (did he do anything prior like some of Briles' kids) and/or had more time with the kids to instill his discipline. Even then it should still be on the individual.

The judge has apparently voluntarily recused herself from the case.

When he was at UT, he benched/kicked players off the team and they chastised him for it. He almost got rid of all of Mack Brown's thugs, then gets fired. He doesn't do it at his new job and gets yelled at by a judge. SMH

That judge oughtta have her arse whupped!

He had actually suspended the player - Which makes it even more ridiculous of a statement.

Strong may not have been the answer on the football field, but off the field, he seemed like and was reportedly a stand up Man.
