Texas Longhorns head coach Charlie Strong met with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell on Sunday in Austin, says Troy Vincent, the executive vice president of NFL operations.

Goodell, who's in hot water over the NFL's inaction regarding the domestic violence scandals with Ray Rice and Adrian Peterson, is in Austin this weekend and was seen Saturday entering the Austin headquarters of the National Domestic Violence Hotline.

After Texas beat Kansas 23-0 on Saturday, Strong denied a HornsDigest.com report that he was going to meet with Goodell and DeMaurice Smith of the NFLPA.

Smith was not in attendance Sunday and poked fun at the report on Twitter.

The NFL has been plagued by recent off-field issues surrounding domestic violence, the most notable being the Baltimore Ravens star Ray Rice who slugged his then-fiance in an Atlantic City hotel elevator. The NFL initially suspended Rice for just two games before new video was released showing a full account of the event. Goodell then suspended Rice for the season

There are even calls for Goodell himself to step down as the league's commissioner.

Meanwhile, Strong has dismissed nine Texas players over violations of team policies and suspended three others since taking the reins from Mack Brown. Even at the risk in disruption of his program, Strong has taken a stand for doing what is right over doing what helps a team win a game.

Strong has said repeatedly that he runs his program based on five core values — honesty, treat women with respect, no drugs, no stealing and no guns.
