If he decides to leave Louisville, I would think South Carolina would be his destination.

There are rumblings that Dave Hart interviewed Charlie Strong today (or is in the process of doing so). Strong is high on a lot of peoples' lists.

He would have been higher on a lot of peoples list in 2008 had he been white.

What is it you want me to say? Racism as an accusation cannot be disproven. If you believe it, there's not anything I can say to change your mind. I'm not discounting the possibility, I'm saying I'd like to see evidence that Tennessee has refused to hire coaches solely on the basis of their race. It's not an accusation I agree with or see evidence of.

There's always going to be people in denial on this issue because they don't want to be labeled as racist or have their institution labeled as racist

It's not an accusation I like to see based on so little evidence, that's true. But if that's how you feel, then that's fine. There's not really anything I can say to change your mind. I told you, truthfully I believe, that Strong is high on the lists of people who matter at Tennessee. That's all that I know. Beyond that I can't say.

I think if Charlie Strong was white, he would have gotten the Tennessee job(or another major college) by now.

The AD before Dave Hart and anyone else who was in on the Kiffin hire are dicholes. Not because they passed on Strong but because they believed Baby Kiffin.

Baby Kiffin talks the talk. He was way to young to be running major college football programs.

Well, on this you and I can agree. Hamilton was in way, way, over his head.

There was an article about this while he was at UF. He felt it was because his wife was white. If he had a black wife, things would have been different for him. I find it interesting that you want Strong to have SEC head coaching experience when Dooley nor Kiffin had none. Please don't bring up their fathers. Shula proved that be wrong.

You are being trolled. Race will matter none in this hire.

LSU got an F on the Black Coaches & Administrators annual report card.
