Is Charlie Strong seriously in danger of being fired after just 2 seasons?

Depending on who they bring in after the interim AD, they may want a clean slate and to bring in "their" guys. It'd be a mistake IMO, but you never really know what you're getting when you change Athletic Directors.

I know a lot of the big money donors didn't like the hiring of Strong. They didn't like that Patterson kept them out of the loop during the search.

IF they bring in a weak willed AD, they may be pressured to fire Strong by the big donors who will want a chance to be on the inside for a new hire.

But ultimately, Strong has had ONE recruiting class. And in the last game the freshmen that did play looked awesome. I just can't see letting Strong go after we know what kind of shape Mack left the program in.
