Let me again commend the University of Louisville for its wisdom in hiring Charlie Strong. My only question is, what took you guys so long?

During his eight-year stint as Florida’s defensive coordinator, Strong’s defenses held Georgia on average to 10.5 points and almost 45 yards less per game than Georgia’s seasonal numbers. That’s a solid body of work. Even in the two years when Florida came up on the short end, it’s not as if his defense gave up embarrassing numbers.
I won’t miss seeing him on Saturday. I suspect Mike Bobo shares my sentiment.
Anything you do on Charlie Strong and Georgia has got to contain the stuff from when he was at South Carolina. I still think that was when he did his best work against us, and was a big reason why Zook hired him at UF.
Didn’t you hear? Meyer’s going to be wearing two bluetooth headsets on Saturday. Dan Mullen’s going to run the offense until Miss State kicks off against Kentucky, and Strong’s going to be running the defense as soon as they get off the field in Pittsburgh. Hopefully, CBS will show lots of crowd shots and not give them time to look at formations…
Smart and Muschamp are the trendy picks, but if I had to choose a new coach right now, it would be Charlie Strong.
Strong seemed to have our number every damn year wherever he was at
Showed how little our coaches could adapt on offense
Well we weren’t exactly a surprise to him. We never changed our O so once you had us you had us. I bet ole Charlie took the week off before the GA game. Monty Kiffin being a great pro coach would have owned us for as long as he coached.
