Me too. He will do well at USF with his recruiting ties to the state. Glad he landed on his feet. I always liked him.
Charlie's contract with Texas required him to make "a reasonable attempt to gain employment". He could not kick back and expect to collect the $10.7 million owed.
And the best thing for him is South Florida won't have bored boosters with too much time on their hands telling him which coaches to hire and fire.
Happy for Coach Strong. USF should be a great place for him in familiar recruiting grounds and at a program with a MUCH dimmer spotlight glare. Wish him the best.
Wouldn't be too happy about it. Just makes landing kids out of Florida even more difficult!
IDK. We have a very well established footprint in Florida. The nation just watched a Florida kid win the Heisman at UofL. Plus we're P-5, USF isn't.
If we're competing hard with USF for players, that's a bad sign.
Available playing time, offensive and defensive scheme and personal fit and comfort with the current players is just as important as the coaching staff.
great spot for Strong. He knows the area well and will recruit well down there.
Once we get in a P5 conference we won't have to worry about the USF's and.............never mind.
The Big question will Charlie be happy with the fan support. Plus the's competing with the Buccaneers. He is in the middle of his recruiting base so good for him.
He got paid pretty well at UL and he worried. He might not in the beginning but I bet it surfaces again just like here. Or maybe he's been humbled and will appreciate what USF offered him will see.
He's inheriting a 10-2 team, but I don't know what they're losing.
He may be in a good spot, and he may not.
But I'd bet his days of bitching about the fans is over. Unless he's a slow learner.

USF opens AT TEXAS for the 2020 season. I hope USF smacks that *** like it's a well-endowed MILF.
He bitched about the fans because he came from football schools , who had just as many fans at the spring game as a regular season game.
Huh. I never made the connection.
That was then.
This is now.
He better just worry about coaching.
I would have chilled for a year but I think some of these guys get terrified that there will be a stigma about them for sitting out for a period and then you lose any appeal you had.
I think the USF/UCF type jobs are solid jobs and under the radar type gigs.
