I can just see the headlines now. "In the largest smokescreen in NCAA FB history UT has hired Charlie Strong to cover up the mutual interest between themselves and John Gruden."

So that's your argument, because they were amazing before he arrived and continued to be amazing after, is the reason why he wouldn't be a good fit here?

that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard....

Read... Qise Lee was amazing, no one else developed in my opinion. The group as a whole looked worse than last year. The group as a whole looked worse than last year. The group as a whole looked worse than last year.

I'm beginning to think they just hired Strong as a stopgap for this year while UT waits for Gruden's decision. Maybe we could keep ol' Charlie on as DC.

a passage from Eric Crawford who covers Louisville sports for WDRB :


Different people measure it different ways. I measure it by the job that is done. In three seasons, Charlie Strong took U of L's program from chaos to the Sugar Bowl. He gave the program Teddy Bridgewater and a slew of talented young players. He gave direction and shape to the program off the field, requiring community service of his players and leading it to unprecedented academic levels. He brought the program from the brink of APR penalty, and improved it to the point where the ACC accepted U of L as a member -- based largely on its on-field performance in the most important sports.

Whether Strong leaves or stays, he has lived up to much of his end of the deal. He has been good for the program, and most of all, good to its players.

Sorry, but I try not to take my eyes off the road too much if I post while driving.

As for USC, I'd say the TEAM regressed not just the WR's.

Doesn't matter, one year does not define a coach. He was well thought of while he was at UK, that's what I base my opinion on...that and he's an excellent recruiter.

jThis speaks volumes about the overall program he runs imo.

He has never been well thought of as a WR coach, not yet anyway. He's known for recruiting.

Everything I heard about Tee was positive, was it "overly" positive, not really...more along the lines of "he gets it" versus "he's easily one of the best."

I'll take that, given his ties to this university and his recruiting ability.

It can't be overstated how important it is to get a coach who wants UT and isn't just a mercenary.

We want him and he wants us. That means a lot to me.

That's fair, I don't think he's bad, but just not proven, and I'd hate to see all those really good WRs we got last year go undeveloped.

He wants the ball bad enough make him go get it on defense. Defense needs playmakers in a hurry. Put as many as you can on the defense and roll with it.

I just don't see how they will keep him off the offense.. Especially if we don't secure a top notch rb this year.

I am trying really really hard to not get ahead of all this and wait for the official word. I hope that tomorrow when I wake up, it's official from both Charlie and UT.
