  1. Strong's two main classes at Texas were top 10...along with some great classes at UL... He was also recognized as one of the top recruiters in the country when he was with UF.
  2. Present one link, based on hearsay, ignore the one where Schiano and Todd Bradley both state it's not true. Sorry, I'm not going to just assume he knew and let this go because a guy who really knew and let it go (McQueary) says so.
  3. A community guy? Again this goes back to giving a **** about the Bucs and vice versa. It looks like Tony Dungey was a pretty good community guy when he recommended our coach to Oregon.
  4. He was at a rival school at one point. If he is really all that opposed to the school he won't accept the job
  5. I could give a **** about his history with the Bucs. I don't care about the Bucs, and by looks of attendance the last 7-8 years neither do a lot of people in TB. If we cant lock down Strong, Schiano would be my #2.
  6. I'd take Schiano, look at what Rutgers was before him and is without him.
  7. Whether people like it or not, the playoff is the most fair system college football has ever had.
  8. The second I heard Taggart was going, I figured we'd hire Strong, and I like it a lot
  9. He was literally starting 9 sophomores on defense this year in a conference where defense has been horrific for a decade. But it doesn't matter I guess. Guy who coached two national championship defenses and went to a BCS bowl with Louisville (even if he "cheated")
  10. Oh, I agree. Even at 13-0, we aren't making the playoff
  11. We can go back and forth on this, but the majority of the experts agree that Mack Brown left the program in rough shape. In fact there were what? 5-6 coaches who said no to the job before Strong took it? Strong then spent the first year dropping all the crap, and then the next two year rebuilding it. Was this year bad? Absolutely, but the guy is a good coach and would be a good hire. You can't ignore what he did at UL.
  12. Starting a freshman QB and dozen other freshmen and sophomores to replace the crap Mack Brown left at Texas.
  13. No he didn't. I'm fact the general consensus of the experts is that he has nothing as Mack Brown ran the program into the ground, and that's why he had issues. He was fired because of Herman. No Herman and hes still there
  14. It's been that way since day 1. You think this would have been different in the 60s, 70s, 80s, or 90s?
  15. This is silly. Oregon is a big time job. Some of the best facilities. One of the richest boosters. A full stadium. Two NC appearances in the last 6 years. Its not like he left for Baylor or Purdue. Big time programs rob from other P5 schools all the time. Nebraska grabbed Riley from Oregon State last year. Franklin from Vandy to Penn state. Wisconsin grabbed Chryst from Pitt. Les Miles went to LSU from Oklahoma State. And of course Saban from Michigan state to LSU. Again, he left for a job that is really tough to say no to. No sense in an end of the world approach to it.
  16. Leavitt turned down an Alabama that was about to get hammered by the NCAA for the second time in a decade and it was widely known. Everyone turned that gig down and they eventually hired Mike Shula.
  17. Nah. It's been that way forever, even at good schools. Saban jumped from Michigan State Ron LSU. Riley from Oregon State to Nebraska. George O'Leary from GT to ND to unemployment.
  18. Fleck said no to Cincy. And rumors suggest Baylor got the same sort of response. Still not convinced Taggart is running, although it has legs.
  19. I've heard from someone that nothing is imminent. Relax everyone...until it's officially time to panic
  20. It's hard to get bowls to commit when you're selling them the total package. The Belk Bowl or Music City bowl wants nothing to do with a game that could land them many of the AAC teams when they have the SEC, ACC, or Big 10 signed up
  21. Realistically, it could be tough. Just think back 8ish years ago, only a few of our games made TV. Now we have this culture of connectivity and it's. It just with every game on TV, but in our pockets. College (and Pro) football attendance is down across the country. The difference is what numbers of fans for Florida and FSU that have stopped showing rings a lot harder on us. Attendance will go up, but only a handful of ways.
