Charlie Strong

Strong would be a terrible hire...if he were such a good coach Fl wouldn't have passed on him...go ahead and jump on this sinking ship just like everyone did with Dooley.

Really good job by hart leaking yesterday's news so post like these could be made. The fanbase is moving on and I really like the momentum CS is getting here. Without yesterday nobody cared about this thread

Strong is my #1. I think Fisher would be old also. Mora Jr next.

Not sure what makes Florida the expert in evaluating head coaches.

Why do people think Charlie Strong will not be good for Tennessee. I just do not see it. He has Louisville 10-2 and in the Orange Bowl. I would take that. He will have better talent here at UT. Bet he would have more SEC wins than Dooley had in all the three years he was here.

I don't want to think that anyone believe Strong is on a level with Dooley. However, I don't think Florida would have passed with "all the relationships" that Strong has established. Florida gambled a bit with Muschamp, but the difference is Muschamp was head coach in waiting at TEXAS (which probably meant a lot with Mack there)...Strong is at Big Least Louisville.

What does this post mean? All universities better be able to evaluate their coaches before hiring. His comment was that Florida didn't even want him. He wasn't good enough for them

I like him but dont get all caught up in the record. He is 10-2 in the Big East which means about 6-6 in the SEC! If he had gone 12-0 thats alittle different.

It's pretty simple his whole basis for not wanting Strong was that Florida decided to go in a different direction. However, I don't know what makes Florida's evaluation any better than Hart's evaluation (if we chose to hire him).

Can you hold it against Strong that florida opted to go with a former SEC coordinator, head coach in waiting at texas and the supposed most coveted "next head coach" in the country? I don't.

Strong was definitely considered but we really wanted to cut all ties with Meyers. Also he had two less seasons of experience as a Head Coach. UF fans would definitely not have been disappointed if Coach Strong came back, he was loved by fans and players unlike say Coach Mullen.

Strong was Meyer's best recruiter. He had an uncanny ability to connect with players. The players who played under him absolutely loved him and would have run through a brick wall for him. He would be an excellent hire for UT. He will give you in roads to both Florida and the Carolinas where there is a boatload of talent. For example, he was able to convince kids for Miami Northwestern (a perennial power in Florida) to go to Louisville. He also is a great person as well.

I don't get the hype with Strong ... he has played one SEC team three times and beat them twice. The problem is was that team is Kentucky. They beat the #24 ranked West Virginia, but again that was in 2011 and that was the only ranked team he has faced. The record itself looks good, but the quality teams played have all to be desired. He will be facing teams ranked nearly to the best in the country. He will be way over his head.

Please do your research man his recruiting coordinator was named nationa recruiter of the year last season. When you can get 4 star players to got to Louisville you can recruit my friend. And he did.recruit solid at Florida

Louisville ranked #42 in 2012 and cruising along at #73 this year. (Rivals)

Three 4 stars in 2012 and zero (yes 0) 4 stars this year.

Maybe you should do a little research before talking about all those 4*'s he brought in.
 
I remember after the Florida loss I put Strong as my avatar with it saying,"So You Want To Win Or What?" People were hating on me for it but a few. Good thing DERELICK turns his haters into motivators!
