USF needs to hire Willie Taggart

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Perfect fit for Mark Stoops

I thought strong was going to be the guy. I clearly shouldn’t be the guy hiring coaches

There is obviously a real reason he interviewed for HC positions unsuccessfully for years. He has validated those suspicions repeatedly now.

Your uncanny ability to anti-predict is still intact.

Let’s hire Charlie as DC before Florida does he’s a very good DC

 

[Boston Vol]

Willie Taggart back to USF

Sarcasm? Why would we get rid of Ansley who’s done a damn good job this year?

Seems Charlie ain’t much without a loaded roster

seems that way. Helluva DC. Must be like Dave Wannstedt, Norv Turner - not HC material

 

[ETV]

Strong to Alabama.

 

[superdave1984]

Lots of really good coordinators just aren't good head coaches.

Did very well at Louisville. Texas wasn’t a fit and it broke him.

I could see Charlie Strong winding up somewhere like UTEP when they dump Dana Dimel or Arizona when they fire Kevin Sumlin.

I think he’s going to need at least a couple of seasons as a DC before he gets back into the pool.

I think he would have fit well at the real UT when we almost had him........

I'm not a social justice warrior, but I do think his race had a predetermined notion about him in the Texas Longhorn community. Of course following a school all time great usually doesn't bode well for a coach.

Having him in the SEC where he knows the football and opponents was a plus compared to Texas and Big 12
Having the pipeline of recruiting at the school in place where he could simply grow it was a plus compared to Texas and Big 12
Having a chip on his shoulder with the program that skipped him over and getting to play that program every year was a plus compared to Texas and Big 12

Looking back, I really don't get why he took the Texas job.... I really don't.

You are definitely right to say that job broke him. Crazy.

If I was him and getting a good buyout, I would just go attach myself to the next up and comer or hot mid major name as their DC......

I feel like Strong could fit in the DC ranks and stay there like Todd Grantham (EDIT: Also Dave Aranda) has done. I would love to see Strong turn his head coaching career around, but I think he'd be smart to just take a DC job and then try to get back in the head coaching ranks after a couple of years.

Failing at Texas isn’t a career killer. Not MEETING EXPECTATIONS at USF necessitates a career re-evaluation. As you stated, maybe he can recharge the batteries and make another run but in the meantime the line forms to the left for a well paying DC opportunity.

 

[superdave1984]

Strong should go be a DC again. Stick with what you do best.

 

[sport3500]

Maybe Strong gets hired as the defensive coordinator at Arkansas, Missouri or Mississippi or Florida State.

I pray Saban or Kirdy doesn't hire him.

L'ville was in the Big East, then the American, when he was there. We came really close to hiring him after Dooley was fired.
