Try to read this paragraph without chuckling.
Multiple sources tell FootballScoop that veteran coach Charlie Strong, who rose to notoriety in coaching circles in part because of his great Florida Gators’ defenses, was planning to return to the Florida program to work alongside veteran defensive coordinator Todd Grantham, but appears instead to have chosen to go with Meyer.
Hard to believe Charlie turned down an opportunity to work with Towel Boy, but I guess the lure of Corch was too strong to resist.
It’s also being reported that Lanning is the favorite for DC at Texas.

If Lanning leaves, I bet Kirby promotes Schumann.

Lateral move?…get out from under CKS to establish your own identity, with the potential (2021) to add to your resume (possible cfp trophy?)…ca$h maybe greener, that cow pasture in austin, not so much….

Schumann’s a Park Hall guy! Good to maybe have a DC who actually knows his way around the Mother tongue.

Really? Is he taking some grad classes or just hangs out around the English department?

Grad courses from what he told me a few years ago at our local club meeting. He ‘fessed up that an English major at Alabama was actually a foreign language degree.

That’s pretty cool. He can actually tell the guys he recruits that he’s one of them (unless of course he has finished his degree).

He got a Masters in Sports management at Bammer. Maybe he just likes poetry, books, and whatnot. Helluva nice guy to talk to. He’s like the Bizarro Pruitt.

Bama’s English department is actually pretty good. Phil Beidler wrote a really good book called “Late Thoughts on an Old War” and was a faculty member there for years.

Maybe on a one year interim basis only. I think Kirby learned his lesson with Coley and will make sure he brings in the right guy.

Why would he make a lateral move?

Because Texas has a Brinks 18-wheeler while even their closest competitors have mere trucks.

But it’s not a lateral move to be a DC under an offensive-minded coach at another top-tier program.

More like it’s the easiest decision he had to make:
Do Sideshow Dan the Clown a solid by propping-up Third and Grantham for no credit, or get to go be your own man for Corch.
Can’t say anyone would blame him for his choice.
Hey look at that, y’all: Corch did us a favor in the short run!

I’m actually really glad charlie strong did not return to florida. In my opinion he was more instrumental to Meyer winning two NCs at florida than tebow.

Corch may be a horrible human being, but he’s a pretty good X’s and O’s coach. Strong could learn a few things. Mullen is an insufferable ass and has yet to prove he’s anything more than a slightly above mediocre coach. Grantham…..well he’s Grantham. Nothing more needs to be said.

Thinks that UF defensive situation will blow up soon. If not this offseason….next season.
It would be a temporary stop at UF if he took it, would have to make another move within a year imo.
Don’t get the ‘Granthamitt” love. The only thing I love him for is the choke sign he gave the UF kicker and him going after Franklin at games end.
