Yeah but strong failed at Texas badly. Almost impossible to fail there too. Now Louisville thinking as bout bringing him back. Not the same hire. Try someone new imo who might view Louisville as a 10 year job. Clearly Strong did not.Petrino LITERALLY left for women. Strong left for a top 5 job. Strong’s the smart move.
I predicted Strong would struggle if not fail here. Texas requires that golf & bbq ambassador type as well as X’s and O’s/recruiting. It’s not difficult to struggle/fail here much less be impossible with that caveat. Louisville needs a good to great recruiter with all the wanderlust beaten out of him. They get that with Strong and he never leaves them willingly again imo. He advanced the program before one coach removed from Petrino. Would do even better with their current resources.Yeah but strong failed at Texas badly. Almost impossible to fail there too. Now Louisville thinking as bout bringing him back. Not the same hire.

Louisville isn’t a top flight job but it rates more than a “seems like” candidate.I’d take a flyer on Hue Jackson. It’s a little outside of the normal list of re-tread college coaches and so called up and comers. He seems like he’d be a good recruiter, since NFL guys loved playing for him. Like Herm Edwards, he’s not a good NFL head coach, but his personality seems like he could recruit. Herm is somewhat having success this year out in Tempe.
