Keep an eye on this one. Another poor season on the field in Austin may lead to a new AD bringing in a new coach. Would put Strong in play down here if/when Golden was fired.

I would love Strong down here. He can recruit Miami guys. Bring back that miami brand of football
 
I'm pretty sure they want Stong out. Those boosters run that program, and when you ignore your biggest donors you won't last. Lots of powerful donors at UT, didn't not like the Strong hire.
 
Strong is now on the hot seat. Could see them pulling the trigger and bringing in Saban after this year. If Strong is let go than it could be a possibility of him landing the Miami gig... Who would strong bring in as an offensive guy since he just demoted his friend he brought with him from Louisville. Or this could happen Butch as HC with Strong as DC since Texas will be paying him just like Muscrap is doing at Auburn.

If that happened Miami would win like 3 str8 ships lol
 
Miami is the only program in existence that tries to shy away from who they are: The college football villains. We have an edge, an attitude and play like a bunch of goons. Sure, we get carried away occasionally, but it's part of the mystique. Charlie Strong would bring that back to the U. It's for this reason, however, that we will absolutely not hire him. Our Admin is terrified of who we are. The results have been consistent with that, both on and off the field. Until we embrace who we are, we will never win big.
 
Seriously....Why would Charile go back to being a DC esp. at Miami?

The guy has proven success as a HC and would get another opportunity else where.

And hypothetically, even if he would consider, what makes you think Miami would pay him the type of cash it would take to bring him in as a DC?

Man I am salivating for Charlie Strong down here! I would take Butch first, but I would love Charlie Strong here if Butch isn't feasible.

These people are nuts. No connection to reality. We'd be lucky to get him as head coach. These are the same type that we're worried about Texas stealing Burch in another thread. He wouldn't even be on their radar.
 
You are talking about the guy that lost back to back games to UConn and Syracuse in 2012?

The guy that lost his only real game in 2013 to UCF?

Strong should be a defensive coordinator.

Not a championship caliber head coach. You are seeing that right now at Texas.

Rice badly outplayed UT. Based on what happened in the Rice game, I can see Strong getting beat down by Cal this week and that program going into a bad tailspin this year. That could wind up getting him fired.
 
Why...?

Strong is another in the long line of ex defensive coordinators that don't understand how to win in college football today.

Texas would go after Art Briles. Kill two bird with one stone. Weaken a rival and get a decent coach. A "Texas" guy.
 
Really baffled as to why people are so willing to turn a blind eye to Strong's alarmingly atrocious decision making at UT.

Strong announced in February that he wanted to overhaul UT's offense into an up-tempo spread to adapt to their recruiting base. That was smart. But then he retained offensive coordinator Shawn Watson to implement those changes, even though Watson's entire resume revolved around running a methodical, pro-style West Coast offense. That was monumentally f***ing stupid and it predictably blew up in his face, resulting in Watson's playcalling duties being revoked one game into the 2015 season.

While Golden has always tried to fit a square peg into a round hole with his players and has been unwilling to make changes to his staff, Strong tried to fit a square peg into a round hole by keeping Watson to run an offense he had no experience with. Mind-numbingly stupid decision and a red flag that's impossible to ignore.
 
Strong in Miami would for sure bring Miami back. He was building Louisville in Miami's image with Miami players, just think of what he could do at the Real Miami. No highly rated recruit would leave Miami if he's the coach.
