Texas Longhorns head coach Charlie Strong seems like one of the most staid, low-key coaches off of the football field, so it was a surprise to see senior linebacker Dalton Santos tweet the following picture on Tuesday afternoon:
Another day at the office. @Strong_TexasFB decided he was gunna bring his pets to work.. #HookEm #TexasFight pic.twitter.com/SQc29uWsIo

Say what? Strong owns two pet tigers? Well, they aren't actually *his* pets, despite the caption by Santos:
UT says a "friend of the football program" brought the Tigers to Charlie Strong's office. Am I the only one whose friends don't have tigers?

So, no totally shocking revelations here, but some players, including Santos, did take the opportunity to spend some time with the tiger cubs:

And even though the tiger cubs don't belong to Strong, that's a pretty awesome picture of the Texas head coach that Santos took.
