Hahaha...sry Trip. Shall I knock on wood, say three hail Mary's and toss rice over my shoulder. Please feel free to change the title but just about every major outlet is reporting a hire now.

Damage is done with the title but those other things couldn't hurt .... maybe a jacuzzi with this:

1. Strong is a straight arrow & well respected. He doesn't need to ride on anybody's coat tails. This alone brings a lot of credibility to USF in the football arena.  Especially to the fans. Increased attendance. Definitely good PR. Fans will be proud to be a Bull's fan again!

2. He gains the respect of his players & is true to his values.  They will want to play for him. This will generate better recruiting. With that in mind it will lead to a better winning atmosphere & 1st Conference Championship! Then in the future the P5 will come knocking. But first things first.

The lore of DJ continues to grow...DJ knows so .much that he was the first to actually break this news yesterday. Wonder if Strong slipped in and had a meeting with his group yesterday

I think this is probably the best hire yet and there is true potential for for sustained success.   But "next level" kind of success is going to require more work from a lot of people on Fowler and those reading this post.  It's not just Charlie.   

Agreed. If the rumors are true that he doesn't want to move, he took a critical step by asking USF to pony up his coaching pool budget. And that is major and already has up'd my respect for Strong.

At this point my standards are simple:

1. Finish 2017 undeafeated

2. Win AAC title

3. Make New Years bowl. We have no chance of making the playoffs with the schedule. At least #2 & #3.

Can someone provide a link where CWT made the comment about being the first black coach to win a NC?  I find it hard to believe he would make such a comment.

Charlie Strong is a slam dunk.

Didnt think it was possible after Coach T leaving but we upgraded!

Do I really need to quote Yogi here?

Anyone gifted in making wild ass assumptions was pretty sure it was happening today.
