I'll say it again, it is clear we have enough talent in our backyard to dominate the AAC every year. We averaged 36,000 last year? Maybe we can inch closer to 40k next year with the team being so dominant. (Or possibly backslide because no FSU or UCF.) Maybe we never get called up to the P5 but we should own the G5 every year. Yup. Jimmies and joes. Make them want to come to Tampa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like a ton of people respect him and will want to come out that haven't had the chance to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely could see some long time gator fans from the area jump on the wagon and come to some games it's because of the coach. The key is to get season ticket holders or flex pass holders like that and keep them with an exciting brand of football and a program changing year.

Looks to be a great hire! http://www.burntorangenation.com/football/2016/11/10/13588316/matt-mattox-texas-longhorns-offensive-line-connor-williams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing like a head coach who's not worried about cash (as in he's well paid) and is out to prove something to the country! Bring on the "dream team" staff, Coach Strong!

So, did this guy get canned from FAU or did we hire him away? I'm having a hard time getting excited about an FAU coach joining our staff. Antigua was a great recruiter at Kentucky. We'll see if this guy can a) recruit here and b) coach here. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strong has typically hired two DB coaches anyway. Personally, Im not judging these hires until the entire staff is officially announced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Word on the street is Lane Kiffin wanted to keep him around. I'm not sold on him as a straight up coach, but it sounds like he can recruit up and down the Miami//Broward area and is very well respected.
