AUSTIN, Texas -- Coach Charlie Strong has taken control of the Texas Longhorns defense, including playcalling duties.Strong demoted his longtime defensive coordinator, Vance Bedford, on Monday and assumed control of the struggling defense. Bedford will remain on the staff and help coach the secondary.I know this: Ive done it before. I can see where I can help us, Strong said. Sometimes you feel like you need to bring new energy into some of these guys and just hoping this will be a good move for them, which it will be.Texas ranks last in the Big 12 in scoring defense at 38.3 points per game after giving up more than 47 points in three of its first four games. Strong defended Bedford last week after a 50-43 loss at Cal, but the Longhorns defense responded with a 49-31 loss at Oklahoma State on Saturday to open Big 12 conference play.After the loss to Cal, Texas had a bye week, and Strong said he would get more involved with the defense and evaluate his coaching staff. A week later, he backed Bedford and said he didnt believe staff changes would help.I have a lot of confidence in Vance Bedford, and I know Vance is going to do a good job, Strong said last week.Texas (2-2) installed four new starters against the Cowboys but gave up 555 total yards, including 392 passing yards, in a performance plagued by missed tackles. The Longhorns now rank second from the bottom nationally in takeaways, having forced only one turnover in 228 plays.I just felt like, at this time right now, it was just a move that needed to be made, Strong said Monday when asked about the timing of Bedfords demotion.Strong also addressed the pressure hes now facing after a 2-2 start.dddddddddddd ESPNs Brett McMurphy reported Saturday that Strong will not be fired during the season.Strong said he doesnt need any votes of confidence from his bosses.Were 2-2, four games into the season. We still have eight games left, Strong said. I told our players yesterday, Guys, yall go play. You just go play. Let me handle everything else. It doesnt matter to me anymore. Whats going to be said is whats going to be said. I say we were in a similar position last year, we went through the same things last season. Dont worry about it. You guys handle the business on the field and let us get you coached up.Bedford served as Strongs defensive coordinator at
