Slice, why so much love for Strong? Louisville is currently ranked in the high 60's by Scout on recruiting. His success has come in an extremely weak conference. He lost to Syracuse and UConn. I just don't see a sure thing there. Yeah, he has better credentials than Dooley did, but most coaches do. What about Strong makes you believe he's the next big thing? I'm not trying to trash the man, but why should I feel confident if he becomes UT's next HC? Why should I not feel let down by the AD if Strong is the best we can get? I really would like to know why you are so high on him. What is it I'm not seeing?

4 Wins before he got to looy.
7 wins year 1 with 2 seniors.
Steady improvement since.
Dramatically improved recruiting to the Sh!t hole that is looy. (Imagine what he com do here)
Oh, and a BCS bowl this year.

Looy doesn't get invited to the acc without Strong.

It's a good point. But Muschamp was the much more well known name. Also I'm just going to say it there aren't a hell of a lot of black coaches anywhere, let alone the SEC.

I've heard its more of him being black with a white wife than him being black. Sad if true. This isn't the 80's anymore.

I have no problem with skin color. It wouldn't matter if he was neon green if he could guarantee us a return to relevance. I'm just not sold that he's the one. Meh, I guess I just want to be more confident that this hire will succeed. I'm tired of sucking and losing. I want to be a relevant team again. Strong might well be a great coach, but I just don't see him as proven.

As for making a BCS bowl this year, isn't that because the Big East champ is automatically given a spot? I don't think highly of the Big Least, so if that's the case, it just doesn't impress me. As bad as we were, I think we could have competed for the BE championship.

After Gruden, the name that stuck out the most to me was Dan Mullins. He rebuilt a sorry Miss St team into a team good enough to be ranked. Yeah, it wasn't an overnight thing, but he has the whole rebuild an SEC team been there done that vibe. At least his success was in our conference. But I hear he's off the list now.

At this point, I just expect a hire I'll have no faith in. Hopefully whoever it is will prove me wrong and take us back to glory, but the past few years have crushed my confidence. I'm just so tired of losing. We went from being contenders to being the punchlines of awful jokes. It sucks.

Gruden isn't coming. Tell me who Dan Mullins has beat at Mississippi State. I'll give you a hint. It's similar to the list of teams that James Franklin and Derek Dooley have beaten.

Weren't the bulldogs ranked in the top 15 at one point this year? And Mullins beat us for one, with less talent, IMO.

There are no sure things. We're just throwing darts praying to get lucky. Good luck hasn't been on our side for quite some time now.

Rankings mean little outside the top 10, imo.
