Texas coach Charlie Strong was lifted up on his team’s shoulders Saturday after the Longhorns upset West Virginia 33-16.

Monday, on ESPN’s College Football Daily, analyst Jason Sehorn said the video gave him goosebumps.

“That gives me goosebumps because I know what he went through in trying to change the culture the first month that he was there,” Sehorn said. “And we talked about it, is he going to have the time to change the culture at Texas to be what he needs it to be? Are they going to allow him to lose to do this? And they had to struggle this year by suspending 12 players.

“But he had to weed out some of the people that aren’t buying in. That there, what you saw, says the kids that are in the program buy in. They bought,” Sehorn said. “The fact that they are still competing … because they’re not a good team right now. I mean, at quarterback they’re challenged, they’ve got a pretty solid defense. But they’re not an elite team. And they went up against West Virginia and manhandled them because you get the sense these young men are buying into the program that he’s trying to build, which has to be a positive for the alumni and everybody else around. Just give this guy the time that he needs and he’ll turn it around.”

Sehorn agreed that the Texas player reaction rewarded Strong for his faith and vision in trying to build the program his way.

“He has an idea of what he wants that program to be, Aad when he got there, he went about enacting it,” Sehorn said. “He had to construct it, and it was tough. When you suspend 12 players and kick a bunch off, that’s not easy to do, especially when you’re not playing well. It’s very difficult to come into a situation and do that. But I think he just realized the only way to get us where we need to be is to go rock bottom. And for Texas, trying to get bowl eligible their last two games is rock bottom. And they don’t want to be there for very long. But I don’t think they were ever going to get back to where they were, without going there first.

“To his credit, he’s doing it his way,” Sehorn said. “And ultimately, if you lose your job, all you want to be able to say is ‘I did the best that I could do. And my way of doing it is this way. And if we’re going to be successful, it’s like this.’ And the kids are buying in.”
