Charlie Strong to Texas..???

[Vinnie Paz]

Just got a bunch of tweets saying he accepted their offer...? Looking for a link

[InTheDrink]

LKidder check in

[Vinnie Paz]

I'm seeing hell accept but evrrythings not 100% yet. Be announced officially soon I guess.

Good for him

[VegasInsider]

It wouldn't surprise me considering everyone else is staying put and he has the most to gain after Teddy decided to leave.

[TPowell]

yep posted in the other thread........ GONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[t-wizzle]

Shouldn't this have been a little more obvious?

[TPowell]

it was, Vegas released Strong as the favorite to get the job and Strong hasn't made a statement in days about the job

[Vinnie Paz]

5 yrs at 5 mill per season

[TPowell]

5 yrs at 5 mill per season

pretty sure Louisville was paying him around $4M at least

[TPowell]

sorry his base was around $2.5M a year but with bonuses, idk

[Vegas39]

pretty sure Louisville was paying him around $4M at least

could be wrong but though I read he was getting a touch over 3 mil a year

[TPowell]

could be wrong but though I read he was getting a touch over 3 mil a year

yep idk if it includes bonuses though. The payment was weird as hell. A $1M annuity? LMAO

[EaglesPhan36]

Funny huh ... one of the only confirmed interviews is the new coach. Go figure, truth in reporting instead of the stupid rumor mill. Won't appease the boosters and fans, I don't think but not a bad hire if true. Interested to see if he brings Watson as his OC - they need a drastic infusion on offense, but Strong is more of a defensive dude - right?

[Louisvillekid1]

Haven't read thread

fukk this

cocaine

we got best AD in the game but fukk

why we gotta be stepping stone

yep no way Watson comes IMO, NFL is looking at him right now

[TPowell]

well Strong is meeting with Univ. President and AD right now.... could be a possible change of heart from what I've been told

i think he's going for a change of contract, maybe he can get papa to beat their offer. longshot, but who knows.

[TPowell]

9am staff meeting at Louisville. Done deal it looks like.

[InTheDrink]

It's all over

U of L seems to rebound always. Good luck cards pals.

[Louisvillekid1]

Yo no more !!!!

i will chase you down

End this thread

[jjgold]

Doesn't matter many good coaches leave college programs in there just as good without them

Kid I coming down the parkway now

[Louisvillekid1]

Yo I'm tired of stepping stone

we pay

wtf

CCS waited. 20 and gave unforgettable loyal press conference after turning down UT last year

fukk everyone , we can match any offer ..,

[BigDofBA]

Louisville can match an offer from Texas? Lol. I would like to see that.

hey he can dream...hahaha...

[Louisvillekid1]

5 / 25 he making 4.7 I know math is hard for most

[EaglesPhan36]

Guys are greedy as fukk. 3.7 million salary @ Louisville. Might be 5 million @ Texas. Usually comes down to ego.

Same old shit at the end of the day. Guy gets the big $ offer and then might have a change of heart because there's some fear in leaving for the bigger fish bowl. I'd laugh to no end if Strong turned around and stayed at Louisville and made UT look like shit.

[BigDeem5]

UT baby

Schools, conferences, even leagues, all stepping stones. Only players can't bounce around.

texas can always outbid them. if he's smart he'll try to get his number to go up which is kinda what i'm getting at.

be even funnier if Texas just said fukk this guy and his games and moved onto Mora

[texhooper]

i agree, anything in this coaching race is funny until a hire is made, but didn't mora already turn it down?

i don't like texas at all by the way, it's just handle. i do like jedi mind tricks though.

[EaglesPhan36]

I forgot until I just read a story, but Strong reportedly did this whole song & dance with Tennessee last year and then gave 'em the double birds ... do it to the other UT and I might be a Strong fan for life.

+1. i hate tennessee and texas almost equally. i don't remember him doing this to tennessee, but i will gladly believe it. the best part of the tennessee search was when they legitimately thought they were getting john gruden. i still have belly laughs about that.

[EaglesPhan36]

Almost identical situation although I don't know if anyone leaked any fake or real contract #s

[Grits n' Gravy]

He'd be a fool not to take the Texas job.
