The college football betting markets are gearing up for a hectic coaching carousel this winter.

And according to Bookmakers, the odds aren't in Texas head coach Charlie Strong's favor.

Coming off his fifth loss — which marked Texas' third-straight year with at least five losses since Mack Brown resigned in 2013 — the site lists Strong as a heavy underdog to keep his job with a +300 line.

The oddsmakers favor Houston's Tom Herman as the Longhorns next coach, with a -130 line. Herman worked as a graduate assistant at Texas from 1999-2000 and has built a strong in-state recruiting resume while leading the Cougars to a 21–3 record over the past two seasons.

Bookmakers also lists former LSU coach Les Miles (+440), Western Michigan's P.J. Fleck (+2600) and and former Baylor coach Art Briles (+2100) as options for the potential opening.

It's unclear how many wins Strong needs to earn another year at Texas. But the team is in danger of finishing with six or more losses for the third-straight year.

Strong can build the case for his job — and turn the betting markets — with a big finish to the season. His next chance comes against a one-win Kansas team on Saturday.
