Charlie Strong leading candidate for Louisville job
- Thread starter O-town Gator
- Start date
If he leaves, I would rather have him go to Louisville than Notre Dame. ND is where coaches go to die or end their college coaching careers.

Charlie Strong is long over due for a Head Coaching job. He's been one of the primary reasons for the success of our defense over the last decade. I hope he goes to Louisville and is successful there.

He should get any job in the country, but I will hate to see hime go. I live about an hour and a half from Louisville and word is he is #1 on their list way ahead of anyone else. Good luck coach.

Apparently as far as Loiusville's concerned, his interracial marriage is not an issue: http://blogs.orlandosentinel.com/sports_college_uf/2009/12/louisville-ad-strongs-interracial-marriage-doesnt-bother-me-one-bit-.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+sports%2Fcollege%2Fuf+%28Swamp+Things%29
Also, per OGGOA Louisville is expecting a counter-offer from UF: http://www.onlygators.com/12/03/2009/louisville-ad-expects-uf-counter-offer-for-strong/

Strong doesn't seem to be saying much about the Louisville job: http://www.courier-journal.com/article/20091205/SPORTS02/912050367/1028/rss0702

i think he'll stay if UF makes a counter offer... something like a $1 million salary should do.. Monte Kiffin makes $1.2...:confused0082:
Urban Meyer needs to make every attempt to keep Charlie Strong, at least until UM can grow a replacement (assuming Charlie would not take the replacement with him as part of the staff).

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Charlie, too. As much as he would like a head-coaching job, I hope he stays another year or two with Coach Meyer.

Interesting blog post from Ben Volin - is all this stuff about Strong affecting UF's recruiting? Read more: http://blogs.palmbeachpost.com/gatorbytes/2009/12/08/uncertainty-over-charlie-strong-hurting-the-gators-recruiting/
Well I think most of us in Strong's position would take the head coaching job.

My main concern right now is recruiting; we lost Jeff Luc to the school out west in part because of all the rumors about Strong being a candidate at Louisville. Sure it's the "nature of the beast" in college football, but I don't want to see the quality of this recruiting class jeopardized because of this or other nonsense that goes around on the rumor mill.

ESPN just reported that Louisville will introduce Charlie Strong as their head coach on Wed. afternoon.
This might hurt my plans for a Gator dynasty. Oh well. Who's next in line for defensive coordinator?
Dwight Schrute?

Hard to say; I have an inkling that Coach Meyer may promote from within again and give the DC posiiton to Dan McCarney, but I could be wrong.
It's pretty much inevitable that Charlie Strong's leaving us, but I hope that he'll show the same courtesy to the Gators that Dan Mullen did last year before he left for Miss. State and coach in the Sugar Bowl.
(Update #1: According to David Jones at Florida Today, Strong will accept the opportunity to coach the Gator defense in the Sugar Bowl - http://www2.tbo.com/content/2009/dec/09/ufs-strong-confirms-hes-taking-louisville-job/sports-colleges/ )
(Update #2: To dispel the "Slantinel"s stupid rumors, per Ben Volin at the PBP Billy Gonzales is NOT going to the Ville w/ Strong - http://blogs.palmbeachpost.com/gatorbytes/2009/12/09/charlie-strong-heading-to-louisville-and-billy-gonzales-says-hes-not-going-with-him/ )
