Charlie Strong

No he's not lol:

Let's hear it then, champ.

 

[Exiled]

He was a Rivals top 25 assistant coach recruiter for 3 or 4 years I believe. Also was ranked in ESPN's list of best recruiters a couple of years.

Thank you. Do you have a link? I can probably find it myself, but if you have one would make it easier.:hi:

 

[Spawn]

I'm referring to when he was there.

it didn't come across that way. No worries.

No he's not lol:

Yes he is.

It's probably pretty difficult to find, because it came from his time at UF. I tried to find it.

Yes he is.

Was waiting for you to come here. :hi:

I feel bad for Strong. On one hand anyone can beat the expectations Dooley laid out. On the other hand Gruden has about every fan at best willing to give a golfers clap to the man.

I believe Charlie Strong would do a very good job as our head coach if he's the guy. He fits Hart's criteria that he laid out during his press conference so I'm really starting to believe, he our guy.

RECRUIT, RECRUIT, RECRUIT!!!

Strong is only non Gruden coach I'd be ecstatic about. We will have the best recruiting class in years if he comes here, and his teams play solid football. Give him the talent and he'll run with it.

He wasn't even that high on it, every time someone would ask he put it at 5%. Hubbs was pretty sure it wasn't going to be Gruden, but would never absolutely shut the door on it because Hart would never say anything.

It was Larry putting it at 5%. Hubbs was consistent around 20%. But to say the he spoke with certainty about Gruden is not true.

I don't want to get in the middle of this lively discussion, but I think I could recruit kids to Florida. If that's Strong's claim to fame as a recruiter, I think it's a bit misleading.

He will be great here, but he is a good man so my worry is he will want to coach his young men against his old florida squad, and well..... we need him on the road recruiting.

If we land him I'm not jumping up and down excited but of those listed and rumored outside of Gruden where any discussion really took place he's imo the best of them.

If he is hired, he will come into a crap storm and if he doesn't produce in 2 - 3 years, the same people claiming he is the Best of Best and must hire will be calling for his head.

I don't believe an inexperienced HC from a weak conference is the coach to pull UT out of the Kiffin and Dooley mess of the last 4 years.

Could be wrong, but if he comes, he is setting himself up.

 

[Tennessee Golfer]

Is there something against him publicly accepting the position here and finishing out the bowl game? That alone will do wonders for recruiting seeing him play in a BCS game

Who is with me? (just a quick first attempt, btw)

Thank you. I'm looking for it now...in fairness have found that he was a Rival's Top 25 Recruiter 2x for Florida along with other Florida assistants (Stan Drayton, Billy Gonzales, Steve Addazio). I truly hope that I'm wrong and he comes in (if he is the guy) and recruits lights out and wins consistently.

He's also had really good defenses, sooo ..

Not if his team is getting their brakes beaten off by Florida.

Not if Florida wipes the floor with Louisville. It would do more harm than good.

Good luck proving that argument. I suppose you think Saban isn't a good recruiter either, since anyone can recruit to Alabama.

Why should he waste his time playing Florida this year, when he gets to beat them next year

And hopefully, every year thereafter...
