Charlie Strong to USF?

[Pudge]

Yes and your assertion is not true based on available data... Assistant Coaches Pool per USAT

1. Houston - $2,419,000
2. Memphis - $2,149,500
3. Cincinnati - $2,140,000
4. UCF - $2,130,000
5. USF - $1,911,500
6. UConn - $1,893,802
7. ECU - $1,701,500
8. Navy, SMU, Tulane, Tulsa and Temple not listed.

I'm not going to argue HOW he spent the pool.

Very interesting.

Poindexter and Verducci at $300,000
Brown and Cummings at $250,000
Lineburg and Wolthausen at $200,000

TJ Weist at $220,000

I would argue - quick skim - in those 6, they are all overpaid. Based on my view of the world.

Aside from the fact that Western Michigan is better than the AAC champion you mean? I don't see the AAC at the top of the G5. I think there is a lot of parity in the G5. Which means that the G5 is roughly at the level of the top half of the FCS schools.

No. Western Michigan does not go undefeated in the AAC. Not a single chance of that happening. Houston, with all of their 3, 4, and 5* talent (and dominating wins over OU and UL), couldn't run the AAC table. There are just way too many tough teams in the AAC...

...And then there's us.

I like to solve problems.

TJ Weist finds himself under a new coach now. He might be available. Offer him $400K to come back and give him 100% control of all offensive playcalling.

Added edit: we also offer him the Interim Coach effective Oct 1, after we start the season 0-4. And this time, we give him a proper interview and real shot at removing the interim tag, ala Ed Orgeron at LSU.

Done and dusted. That was easy.

Bottom line, Texas saves a whopping $1 million with this #USF contract. Still owes Strong more than $8 million total over next two years.

Strong is inheriting a good team. He will do very well at USF, and after 3 years could very easily be the man at either UF or UM.

Well there goes my TJ Weist pipe dream. That is a significant upgrade and on par with what I expect to happen at UConn.

Geez... who got last laugh here?
Texas officials will pay Charlie Strong millions to lead South Florida

That RSTuthill opinion is foolish

That RSTuthill opinion is foolish

You are disputing the consensus opinion that WMU is better than Temple?
