It's Done - Strong will be announced [unconfirmed]

[Oskie Volum]

This may sound like it doesnt compare to some people, but it is actually a perfect comparison:

I spent 12 years as an estimator for a Mechanical Contractor. We did 25mil a year and averaged 15% profit. Not great, but pretty good money.

If I took a set of plans and gave a price on them, I was generally right where I needed to be with my price. I knew my guys, my company, and what we were capable of.

But if I took too close of a look, overthought, looked at the jobsite too closely, got too indepth with my thinking, I would know TOO MUCH about the job, overthink it, and my price would be too high. Too careful can at times be costly.

Sometimes you just have to take a chance, trust that you have guys who can get the job done, and take a swing at it.

I think Dooley was too conservative in crunch time. Just my opinion. (well, me and some folks in my email)

I agree with you. Just that IMHO DD was forced to due to the circumstances at hand. His injuries last yr, last min major errors to kill drives, etc. Kind of messes with things.

Ummmm I've been able to get on for the last 30 mins due to site overload. What was the news that did this??

You know at the presser Hart said every AD has a list or he kept one in case something happened. The list contained coaches that would replace your current coach.

So0, you are telling me that he had a 14-12 big east coach on that list at the start of the year? (strong)

This I find Laughable. He is playing Crap teams in the big east and not winning impressively.

I wonder who else he had on this list.

Joker Philips?
Charlie Weis?

Sounds like he is either lowballing coaches or no one wants to be a VOL.

We got him!!

According to tweets from people who were at the football complex, UofL's players did not appear happy when they left the team meeting.

4 million + for Charlie Strong? Really? Is that what UT football has become? Arkansas got the better coach and got him for a million dollars less. I don't even know what to say.

Not sure how Arky got the better coach. We did what we had to do to plug the hole in the sinking ship. The Fulmer haters got what they wanted. Lol

I would have hired Fulmer back for 2.5 million in a second before over paying for a unproven coach from the Big East.

Strong told team he is leaving today, was asked by Hart to keep it quite until he gets to Knoxville, UL players not allowed to talk, so the stroy about 7:30 meeting was leaked but UL says they have nor press conference scheduled for tommorow, I think UT will have a press conference tonight or tommorow morning early to announce him, I think they are using another plane to bring him back, Hart may have even stayed in Lousville to ride with him, think it all part of Hart wanted to be the one who breaks the story I dont think he wants the media to really have a clue what is going on in my opiniontake it for what its worth I may be totally wrong

 

[huskyvol]

And all this time I thought it was Lovie Smith. My sources suck!!!

 

[volnpowell]

Beilema is a solid coach who is smart and will get the best from his players. That said, not sure he is an elite guy. He will keep the hogs relavent while he is there and may have a shot at his division when the stars align just right. Good hire overall...but I do believe Strong does have a "higher ceiling".

Could be wrong but Butch Jones just took the job at Colorado. Rumors were he was waiting to see if the UL opened up before he took the CU job. It was announced Jones to CU minutes after the Strong meeting ended. Hmmm???
