I get it I get it, many will say you take the money. But he goes to Oregon...I mean Oregon! Are you friggin serious? This was his only big time offer. He might as well have taken a job on Mars. What’s more, he knew what was coming back in terms of talent at USF. He stays one more year he probably runs the table and gets five big time offers. This was an inpatient decision and he is now having to fight his way back up the ladder. Bird in hand is better than 2 in the bush, he took the guaranteed money (3x what he was making) when it was offered versus gambling on a better offer the following year. I always thought it was a chump move to bail after a year at Oregon but never had any ill will toward him for leaving us. I do agree the table was set for a great 2017 year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two things a coach directly impacts game preparation and strength training. This is the #1 thing that turned me against CCS - he stated this in the press conferences after almost every loss in 2019, yet did not appear to change anything I liked that he took accountability for the lack of preparation, but you can only go to that well 2-3 times before questions arise about your competency 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our 2 losses Flowers senior year were both games we should have won. The Houston game never should have come down to 4th and 24. Strong slowed that offense down so much you could see the frustration in Flowers and the entire offense. Plus his excuse after the game where he said he didn't want to use a timeout to let Houston draw up something even though he had 2 timeouts left and Houston was out. He could have let houston put out their looks and used another timeout to draw up a defensive scheme that houston had not seen and houston could not have called a timeout to try and counter it. Keep in mind Strong was supposed to be a defensive minded coach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep in mind Strong was supposed to be a defensive minded coach. You are actually thinking Strong would actually come up with game time strategies like that. That means he would be prepared. He knows how to run a great defense and that is it. Coaching the whole show is above his skill set. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
