It's a good interview by the DB Gottlieb.

[The Sheriff]

Even if Charlie Strong leaves us after two seasons, his comment to Gottlieb's question at the 4:05 mark demonstrates his belief in accountability. He didn't blame race for getting fired. He blamed his failure on not winning enough. Coming out and saying it says a lot about his character... because living in San Antonio when they initially hired him, the Spurs owner Red McCombs was anti-Strong from the get go.

Exactly and this is why I don't believe he will be a lazy coach just collecting a paycheck *ahem* Tubberville; he takes pride in what he is doing. I also trust Harlan wouldn't make the hire if he felt at all that he wasn't into it after UT.

Yeah after listening to that he will be gone. He will probably be here for the 2 seasons he gets his UT money and that is probably it.

I dunno.  If you're going to bolt after a couple of good seasons when your UT money runs out, why bring up an OCS in the interview.  Seems to me he's asking for a long term commitment to the program and if you're only here for a couple of years who cares where you play.

Don't know what they bring back but Tulsa may be tougher .... and UCF will have had another year to get really really faster.

Actually took a look at that.. Tulsa loses quite a bit (most importantly, the QB)..

Things are setting up nicely ...

It was a good interview.

With that new information coming out about the retention bonus of $2.5 million at the end of year 3 of the contract, basically he gets his $5 million a year for 3 years. So actually we probably have a 3 year window.

Year 4 would be the logical jumping point if he wants to bolt for more money because his salary would essentially drop to just $2.75 million a year or whatever unless something changes where Harlan can pony up much more.

Would love for USF/UT to be one of those fancy opening weekend kickoff classic games.

That's actually not a bad idea. I think a few things have to be at play for it to fly. USF would have to start the season ranked. Like OU v UH this past season.

Maybe you could do it at the Superdome in New Orleans. Other scheduled games that would be a candidate for that would be Wisconsin at USF on 8/31/19 or again UT at USF on 9/3/22
