Ranking the American Athletic Conference's College Football Coaches for 2018'

 

4. Charlie Strong, USF

south-florida-bulls.pngFollowing a disappointing three-year run at Texas, Strong returned to the state of Florida to replace Willie Taggart at USF. The Bulls fell short against UCF in an epic 49-42 thriller in Orlando last season but still finished 10-2 overall and claimed a victory in the Birmingham Bowl. USF wasn’t quite as dominant as some predicted, yet still ranked No. 21 in the final Associated Press poll. Strong has connections to the Sunshine State from previous stints at Florida (1988-99, 1991-93 and 2003-09) and will have no trouble attracting talent to Tampa. He previously went 37-15 as Louisville’s coach from 2010-13, including 23 wins over his final two years in charge. Strong went 16-21 at Texas but is a better fit at USF and should keep this program near the top of the AAC in 2018.

Fun article to read....I give them credit for these sentences in their opening:

How did we compile the rankings for the American Athletic Conference coaches? For starters, it’s an impossible task.

It is , but they took a shot at it.

Yeah, I thought so too, not a bad shot at that, Fritz at 3 surprised me a little but I got no qualms with number 1.

I didn't quite get the Fritz either, but maybe he deserves it.
