Who is Charlie Strong? An inside look at Texas' new coach

Charlie Strong opens his eyes. It’s 4 a.m. He rises, dresses and, without caffeine, drives 20 minutes to the Texas football facility. On Mondays he runs south to downtown via Red River Street and returns on Guadalupe Street. On Tuesdays he heads through neighborhoods to the north. The routes vary each day, but the goal remains the same -- shave a few seconds off his time from the week before.

Why is Pete Thamel in Charlie Strong's bedroom?

Tons of great stuff in here, including Urban Meyer hurling invective at a school's AD for hiring another coach without talking to Charlie.
