I never saw anyone here say Charlie Strong shoulda been Head Coach...and everyone here definitely blasted the administration (over the forums and through email) when we heard that he may have gotten an interview. People constantly said he would make a good DC here though and I still think he could.

I don't believe he got an interview. I'm not sure if there was anything more to him being considered for the job than message board fodder.
Some people definitely thought he was a decent choice for HC though.

I would have wanted him over many of the options that were first circulated last year not named richt/butch/Herman. Definitely over Cristobal. Charlie would have killed it down here. He understands how to coach Florida talent. Texas is just a dumpster fire, the man was setup to fail to begin with.

Charlie Strong = Randy Shannon
Both can coach an elite defense as a DC
Both can be great position coaches and elevate a Defense as an Assistant DC
Both can't hire a good OC.
Both was asked to rebuild dumpster fire's and failed
In terms of differences...
-Shannon had less relations (outside the Miami tree) and extremely less financial support as a HC, so reasonable people can determine why he couldn't get a good OC
-Charlie is a much better recruiter, and did what he did (as a DC) with less overall talent.
-Shannon burned relationships with high schools while he was at Miami
-Charlie had a hard time building relationships because he wasn't quite accepted.
this is ridiculous first off strong won at Louisville, he went to big bowl games , he knew florida talent and really shouldn't of taken texas job as he had 0 connections there, the boosters never wanted him and while he has done a good job recruiting the talent he has is still young.I never saw anyone here say Charlie Strong shoulda been Head Coach...and everyone here definitely blasted the administration (over the forums and through email) when we heard that he may have gotten an interview.

Bridgewater made Strong seem good when he was really awful all along. Anyway Strong is 16-20 at Texas to Shannon's 28-22 at Miami. Strong would actually have to go 12-2 to match Shannon's record, as hard as that seems to believe.
How much does Texas offer Hermantor?

randy had never been head coach before and had 0 success as one. strong at least had some extremely good years at Louisville with a lot of south florida talent. he would of been fine at Miami, u were probably one of the ones thought Manny diaz was a bad choice for dc also.
I can't believe people were suggesting these 2 for head coach last year. The Schiano suggestions were bad enough.
So who would you choose if you had to have one as coach?
