I haven't compared the rosters in detail. I do know that his first roster was described as such by Cinci media coverage that followed the year (note the descriptions of "stunning" and "catastrophic"):




So, what's your point? Both inherited a rebuild at some level. CBJ went 2-1 against CCS with a single overtime loss. I've made the statement that I see the two coaches as pretty equivalent to one another. But I've noted that, due to head-to-head records, both with rebuilding jobs, it is not at all "laughable" if someone were to consider CBJ the better coach.

What else do you want?

Great post Orange. Smart, reasonable, backed up with research.

I know I don't give a ****.

We could take a poll and see who gives a ****.


Then again. I wouldn't really give a **** about the poll either.


****!

Ill start off. I was out of town, and almost gave up on us ever having a capable coach when I read the news of Jones being hired. I of course did some research, and as always (Dooley being the lone exception( convinced myself he could get the job done. My lone worry was recruiting. I knew recruiting to UT, was different that Cincy, and that if he was good, we would see the results. Well, he has blown past my best expectations in a little over three months. The man has proven he can coach, and now he is showing everyone he can recruit. Russia got a falling star, UT may have gotten one too. But only people getting hurt here are opposing coaches feelings, knowing they can no longer cherry pick this states top talent. If this week is any inclination of what's to come, consider me giddy.

I was wrong about Butch. Any others?

Same reason why you give a **** if I give a **** about him giving a ****.
It was the first thing that came to my mind when I read his post.

Doesn't mean I'm angry by any means. Got a puppy in my lap. Just the first thing that popped in.

That's not good for Jones, since one of his two wins of that nature was over a 10-4 Miami of Ohio team. (The other was 8-5 NC State.) I don't remember all of Strong's off the top of my head, and it may actually be 9-4 after beating Florida, but you guys are free to look those up.

Strong went 9-7 against 8+ win teams. Most of the teams were 8-5.

His first year he went 3-3 against 8+ win teams with wins against USM and Syaracuse and losses against Pitt, USF, and WVU. He didn't beat one big east team with over 7 wins in the regular season.

His second year he went 2-3. With wins against Rutgers and WVU, but losses against Cincy, NC State, and FIU. North Carolina and Marshall were one win away from making it 2-5.

Last year he went 4-1.

One thing about Strong, he has lost to a team with a losing record in every season.

2010-Cincy
2011-Pitt
2012-UConn
