Yeah because Al Golden won a BCS bowl with a team in the AAC. People want to claim Strong only won because of Teddy as if he didn't recruit or develop Teddy. If Teddy was such a sure thing coming out of high school than why didn't he choose a "better" school than Louisville? Teddy wasnt even the starting qb his junior yr of high school yet people act like his college coach had nothing to do with him becoming good or the team winning the way they did. And if you want to claim he only won because of Teddy, than how did numerous defensive players become top nfl draft picks under Strong like Mauldin, Pryor, Smith, etc. They fell into his lap too i suppose? Oo and before people claim Strong is a defensive coach and had nothing to do with Teddys development, well that may be true but guess who hired whoever did develop Teddy???
The Texas thing does scare me and should scare you. But to claim Strong is on the same level as golden or shannon is absolutely ridiculous. Whether you want to believe it or not high school coaches and players respect strong down here way more than they ever gave a **** about Golden. People on here continually say that Texas has all the resources in the world how has he sucked. 1. He had zero recruiting ties to Texas before he arrived (he does in Miami). 2. Kids have been getting offered and communicating with college coaches earlier than ever so to expect him to come in and defeat OK, atm, Lsu, baylor, etc immediiately in recruiting is absurd. You act as if those schools dont recruit as well. 3. Texas was in absolute shambles before he took over and people were flocking to numerous other schools because Texas lost the lust among recruits in the area. Also take into account when he took over he kicked off i believe it was 9 players 4. To sum up he already has plenty of relationships built down here, in my opinion the Miami roster as we speak is ten times better than the Texas team that he took over, and lastly the admin seems to actually believe in him unlike Texas board of trustees when they hired him. From day one he had people calling it a terrible move from within the school. Let me apologize if I believe he was set up to fail in Texas and that maybe just maybe it would take more than a yr and a half on the job to turn around.
Are you kidding me? What an asinine thing for you to post. I have never posted anything about Strong's race in relation to his ability to coach or not coach at Miami. You are a complete moron.
Well what reason do you have for wanting a coach who is about to lose 8 games in his second season at a big time program that has endless resources and was an 8
win team when he took over.
I for one will be in favor if flying a banner at the first game he's here, even if I have to pay for it myself.
Maybe save that banner money and get an education.
You can't explain it can you. You have zero explanation to defend wanting a guy who is going to lose EIGHT GAMES at Texas in his second year. Do you realize that he has completely failed worse than any coach in recent memory? That's the guy you want? Thre are probably 50 coaches who have done a better job at major programs than he has. Gene fricken Chizik is better than him. Al Golden was better than this!
