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

[DjCrenshaw]

The average IQ in this thread is cheese.

Yeah, I don't know what's up with the strong love either.

My guy at UT says it's a done deal, will be announced Wednesday. Expects it to be around $3.75 mil a year.

I personally don't agree with this hire. Not impressed with what he's done at Louisville in a weak Big East. Others will disagree, say he's a great recruiter. I'm not sold.

But I do know it's a step up from Dooley.

**** your guy!

Very disappointed if this is true.

With our programs history, billionare boosters, peyton manning and the top football facilities in the country.......and we come up with charlie freakin strong. Another coach-in-training with almost no HC exp and from a weak conf at that.
This is such a critical hire for us. It will decide our position in the SEC pecking order for years to come. Its hard to believe that the powers that be could come to this conclusion.
Prob another result of us not really pursuing the big names or being unwilling to pay the salary demanded by top coaches. So we get another overpaid underqualified hopeful.

I'm tired of hearing "it's a done deal"

Lmao, you can't fix stupid.

Yea just copy and paste what I say.How original DA.

**** me

[MilesMcEver]

lateral move IMO. What a waste of money. We will just be looking for a new coach in 3 years again if true.

I dont give it 3 years he went 3-4 5-2 and 5-2 in the Big East, the Big East.

This is one of the first "hear it from a friend threads" that I believe has a good chance of being true. If true, I wonder if he keeps Chaney.

A UF fan defending the Vols against Vol fans. Gotta love this fanbase.

Going to be split right down the middle until he proves them wrong on the field

 

[UTodd01]

Strong?

*yawn*

Luckily it's not happening and "your guy" is FOS.

 

[WVU05UT09]

Calm down...calm down...at least we can hold out hope that a new Kentucky win streak is well on its way to fruition...

 

[Velo Vol]

Im sure they had you top of the list of people to consult with before making the hire. So keep your phone close its gotta be ringing soon.

Surprisingly, no.

What's your point?

 

[#JuanVol]

based on the responses, it sounds like our fan base is still divided.

Yep...save more money

First post FTW....Not.

Lol

Strong > Franklin

 

[UTBasketball2]

Dude you really like Strong don't you? You've been up his butt hole for quite sometime now. You reap what you sow. Enjoy another 5 years of irrelevance.

Actually I've been up it since Saturday good sir.

 

[Tux]

This is one of the first "hear it from a friend threads"

Anyone could create a thread stating the same thing about any coach on the list and it could be right.

TRUE STORY:

My kid just left the football building and says: "Im so fricken tired."

I guess weight training was a little intense today.


ALSO A TRUE STORY: If yall get cStrong, that is a great hire. The dude will put you right back in the mix for the SEC-East, which of course means you are right back in the mix for the Nat. Championship.

NOT SURE IF REPORT IS TRUE, but this is all I have to work with.

You cant tell some of these idiots anything. They know everything and should be making the hire.

I wanted Gruden too. Strong didn't initially move my needle, but I did some quick research.

He took over at Lousiville after a 4-8 season and a disaster from the previous coach. He went 7-6 in each of his first two seasons and then 10-2 this season. It might be in the Big East, but he still showed he can rebuild a program.

He is a former defensive coordinator, which i like. If he is named the coach, I am all in (and will be whoever is named).

I will be surprised if we agreed to $3.75 million. Seems high.

agreed he surly wont let us finish with the worst D n UT histroy & as we know Defense Wins Championships. I think we are going from a F- coach to a soilid B coach with our faucilites & Stadium to sell recruits hes going to Roll in 4 & 5 * recruits just wait
