They hired Texas' coach-in-waiting instead of Strong, after one 7-6 season at UofL. It's also possible Strong wouldn't have bailed after just one year.
If the UF job were open right now instead of two years ago, I think Strong would be hired.

East Carolina

Why in the heck would UT pay Gundy $4,000,000 plus his $3,000,000 buyout and toss in $3,500,000 for his assistants? or Strong $3,500,000 plus his $2,500,000 buyout and $3,500,00 for staff?

Those numbers make no sense for those coaches resumes. The money it would take to get Gruden is not that much greater than those numbers and Gruden is a freaking home run. Far and away better than Strong or Gundy (by a mile)!

That would have been one of the first moves by Hart, do a economic impact of each coach. Hart knows!!
