Geez, I've been defending idiotic points of view on message boards since 1992, and somehow have managed not to get crowdsourced over them. It's not that you have a different opinion, it's that you're being a festering cunt sore about it.
December 3, 20187 yr 56 minutes ago, Thatguy said: What part don't you get. He hurt his shoulder vs Tulane which is why he didn't play the next game. They were 7-1 when he went out. He came back two games later for 82 yards. Obviously he still wasn't right, so they pulled him again. Funny how they were 7-1 when the QB got hurt which clearly shows they were doing well, and you still don't want to acknowledge that maybe that was why they took such a sharp turn. John Burt Kris Boyd Tre Watson PJ Locke Jerrod Heard Davante Davis Gary Johnson Breckyn Hager Anthony Wheeler Andrew Beck Elijah Rodriguez Patrick Vahe Charles Omenihu Chris Nelson Those are all the guys we are losing next year. We are a QB shoulder injury away from having something like that happen to us. Everyone is talking big shit when we could very well take a step back next year. Then how dumb would we look talking shit about Charlie if we go 7-6, 9-5, 7-6, and Charlie goes 10-2, 8-5, and 10-2 over the three years since he left? Sometimes you have to have a little foresight. From the article in OP: "I mean... you’ve seen USF play this year, right? Even when the Bulls were winning, they weren’t impressing anyone. They needed three comebacks from down double digits in the fourth quarter to win games. Their only conference wins were against Tulsa, ECU, and UConn, who won a combined two league games this season (because that’s how many games they played against each other). The Bulls got out to a totally bogus 7-0 record against one of the worst schedules in the country. Then they got exposed by Houston, the first team they met who could match them on raw talent. Then they lost badly to Tulane and Cincinnati, blew a 17-0 lead to Temple, and... whatever the hell that was today against C. There’s absolutely no way this team wins a bowl game in its current state, so that’ll be a 7-6 finish with a six-game losing streak." This absurd narrative you're trying to spin that USF was rolling until their starting QB got hurt is baseless, made-up nonsense.
December 3, 20187 yr All kidding aside, I like Charlie and wish him success in the future. It's fun to snark when seeing some of the same mistakes at USF that angered us here, but he seems to be a good man who gave his best here. It didn't work out, but I can't hate the guy for it after he leaves. Hope he has a long and successful stint at USF, or gets another shot at a P5.
December 3, 20187 yr 7 hours ago, Thatguy said: And this is the most accurate post on this board. People forget that Charlie walked into Miami NW High School and convinced Teddy Bridgewater, a 5 star QB, to forego all the powerhouse programs and go play for Louisville. Charlie recruited well at Louisville and they won. He recruited well at Florida and S Carolina. Give him a solid QB and he has shown he can win. He never had that here. Sure, it was his fault he missed on his recruits. That said he left. I hope he does well wherever he is, as well as Mack at UNC. I'll bite on this. If we can say "Herman wouldn't have been any better but for Sam Ehlinger in 2018," can we not also say "Holy shit, how bad would Charlie Strong have been without D'Onta Foreman in 2016?"

I’m dwelling on it because national media, Texas haters (aggy & gooner in particular), and USF fans were trying to chastise the fans and administration as if we were being oh so unfair to Charlie. Herb calling us a cesspool and insinuating that Charlie is gonna go somewhere else and spread his wings with out big bad mean Texas and thier big greedy evil donors holding him back. I’m kinda tired of being told I have unrealistic expectations when I’m expecting a program with the numerous advantages and resources we have to atleast make a fuckin bowl. That’s my only point here. I like Charlie as a person and hope he does well tbh but he’s just better as a coordinator imho
December 3, 20187 yr I understand the dislike for Mack Brown, even though I always appreciated him for the title and returning us to a top tier program. Yet people let their hatred of him get in the way of appreciating and properly respecting his accomplishments. What I can't understand is people dismissing criticism of Strong for actually being the worst coach we've ever had, and go digging for nuggets of goodness in the pile of shit he gave to us. Even worse are the people that carry water for the man. Especially when it's often the same people that hate Mack Brown with such passion. Edited December 3, 20187 yr by Disco Missile

You're making one of my points for me. This class is effectively the end of the Charlie Strong era, and our roster has holes because of his chintzy recruiting. Next year we'll have 2-4 senior starters on offense (if CJ9 and LJH return) and maybe 5 on defense. Under Herman we're finally building quality depth, especially on the lines, and redshirting players that would benefit from it. Next year almost all of our top contributors will be Juniors and below along with whatever transfers we can bring in. Then, as you say, we won't be a shoulder injury away from disaster. But that's where late Mack and Charlie left us.

Mack Brown is basically a muffed punt better than Fred Akers. But there was definitely a narrative about Strong (see A'Dam Psycho above) being put down by the "big bad Texas culture" and there were definitely some recruits and he was definitely the worst head coach we'd ever had.

It's pretty clearly P, not cdt23. ztejas is cdt23. He's always on the verge of calling everyone who doesn't agree with his views a racist, but usually doesn't have the temerity to do it. I'll say this, watching someone actually defend Chuckles, at this point, as anything but a fucking rube in the chair, is something to behold. We're talking about the worst coach in Texas history, by a wide margin, sandwiched on both sides by coaches with better records. Even the basics are in sharp relief on this one.

December 21, 20187 yr Strong will probably end his career as a position coach at Appalachian State or somewhere similar. Once that coaching free fall starts, it’s damn near impossible to stop it.
December 21, 20187 yr I don't have any doubt that Charlie is a fine coach. I think he would make a great position coach, maybe a coordinator.

It's probably not zero. At the time I thought fuck yeah, you show 'em Charlie, kick that Mack Brown deadweight out of the program and go to war like Iowa State's Dirty Thirty. Now I pretty much question everything I thought from December 2013 until the merciful, merciful ending
December 21, 20187 yr Will be interesting to see who he grabs for OC with Gilbert leaving. I feel like the Watson to Gilbert move was forced on him initially, but then he did bring Gilbert along to USF so he must have seen something there. Wonder if he's learned enough to actually get a good offensive guy or if he'll revert to his mean and hire Shawn Watson part two. If he's going to have any hope at USF he needs a great OC. His defenses haven't been stopping anyone so they'll need to win shootouts. Really baffling how bad many of his defenses have been as a HC considering his reputation.

December 21, 20187 yr Thank goodness we get to play Georgia and not the Bulls. Catching an angry USF team with something to prove would be a tough out. Unlike Texas, which has had no key injuries under Herman, especially at QB, they were one player away from being undefeated.

December 21, 20187 yr Quote With USF trailing 28-7 and facing fourth-and-goal from the 4 with nine seconds remaining, Strong opted for a 22-yard Coby Weiss field goal. "I didn't want to leave out of there with no points, because we were down what, 21-7?" said Strong, whose team actually was down 28-7 at that point. https://www.tampabay.com/sports/usf-bulls/2018/12/20/usf-goes-out-with-a-whimper-in-38-20-gasparilla-bowl-loss/ Shocked.

December 21, 20187 yr Quote “when you don’t tackle well, you don’t execute, you don’t play well, that’s what happens.” Quote “First three tries we didn’t get it... I didn’t want to leave out of there with no points,” Quote “you wanted to go out and just win this game and just stop the slide...” Same ol Chuckles.
December 21, 20187 yr A friend who's a Neurologist opined that Charlie seems a whole lot like a person with CTE issues. I don't have a background that would let me argue that one way or the other... any headquacks here want to weigh in on that?
