A billionaire donor to the University of Texas apologized Thursday for his criticism of the hiring of Charlie Strong as the new Longhorns football coach. Red McCombs told the San Antonio Express-News (http://bit.ly/1hAuRxV ) he had phoned Strong to apologize and promised Strong his ''total support.'' Strong told him that an apology was unnecessary, he said. McCombs has donated millions to Texas, and his name is on one side of the football stadium. He publicly lobbied Jon Gruden to succeed Mack Brown and complained in a radio interview early this week that he hadn't been consulted about Strong's appointment.
