No national championships to show for it... coaching in a soft finesse conference. Chip would be getting blown out at Texas worse than Strong bc he doesn't know how to field a defense.
And neither does Strong. Strong has nothing close to what Kelly accomplished. Strong's accomplishments were in an inferior conference (the Big East) so not sure how knocking Kelly (weak conference) makes it a good argument for Strong.
As for his Defense (between 2009-2012):
Average Scoring D: 22.18 PPG
Average Total D: 361.6 YPG
Those aren't bad numbers at all.
As for his Offense:
Oregon had a top 8 or better offense each season in Scoring Offense. He also had top 5 total offense 3 times.

BOLD] Just making sure everyone in the thread knows what I am arguing with. Remember this is a Strong supporter.
