not being pursued heavily by Auburn or MS State? Maybe we hear something on him this week since SEC title game is over? I think him and Turner Gil would be two of the strongest candidates for the Auburn position, b/c I think they could recruit well against Saban. Maybe not as good, but still compete with him.

I think AU has to bring in either Strong or Gil, imo.

I think Gill is a great coach and will do well wherever he goes, but I also think Auburn needs a guy with some SEC ties. I have my doubts about Gill succeeding in the SEC. And personally I'm not that big on Charlie Strong. Bama's offense had their way with Florida for much of that game yesterday until the 4th quarter. I think he is going to have to prove himself as a head coach at a smaller school before SEC schools seriously look at him.

Auburn really shouldn't hire a coordinator. They need a proven HC.

What's sad is they had one of those, and the stupid bastards ran the classless fricker off.

Oh there is a strong chance they will regret it. Tubby is a hell of a coach.

Charlie Strong is crap, IMO. I guess they should interview him to satisfy the NAACP, but not as a serious candidate.

I have asked this for the past two or three years. With all the coaching turnover, why is Charlie Strong passed up year after year? I'm sure there is a reason, I just can't figure it out.

I'm sure it is because of his race. That must be the reason, right?

When guys are passed up year after year, you are left with 2 choices:

1) They aren't as good as you think they are.
2) They are being blackballed for whatever reason (race, gender, sexual preference, past transgressions, etc. ad nauseum).

I say #1.

I'm sure alot of you retards want to assume racism since it is the most convenient assumption. Whitey's always trying to keep a brother down and shite.

Yeah I was sitting here trying to come up with a witty "balanced diet with regular exercise" kind of thing, and when I was ready, you were all over it already.

There are reports that he could be taking over at UCF.

There are reasons some people are career assistants. Every year he is mentioned and every year he passed over. Hmmmmmmm.......

Because no university in the South is going to hire a black coach with a white wife. Maybe a black coach with a black wife. Maybe a black coach who is single. But big-time boosters like to hobnob with the coach and like for their wives to hobnob with the coach's wife, and they ain't going to cotton to this.

There, it's been said. Occasionally, when this topic comes up, it's reported that Strong "doesn't interview well." That's a euphemism for he has a white wife.
