This is a good hire by USF. He knows that area and has been recruiting it hard since the mid-90's with Spurrier. His team while he was at Louisville was compromised of a ton of Florida talent. 

They could quickly own that side of the AAC.

Charlie Strong and a USF Bull player have landed in Austin to play the Longhorns

Bull:  Hey coach, let's run into that stadium and f*ck up one of them cows.

Coach Strong:  No, son.  Let's walk in and f*ck 'em all up.

He's in a better place

[Mean Green 93-98]

Great move for both sides.

Good hire.  Guy is just a terrific recruiter.  Needs some x and o guys to support him but the players and fans love him.

So Texas will still owe him $5m minus his USF salary? Or are they still on the hook for the entire $5m for the next 2 years?

They're not worried about it one way or the other.

$1 salary for years 1 and 2?

If they are patient I think Strong can win there, and win a lot.

I have my doubts. Most coaches fired from big programs don't rebound quickly, if at all. Solich being the lone example coming to mind. 

If you can't beat Kansas and Iowa State with every advantage.....my guess is he's .500 at USF as well.

You have to win and he didn't. It's as simple as that. But when the number one booster publicly called your hiring a "kick in the face", I think the cards were stacked against you to begin with. He definitely underperformed but he was just at the wrong school. I think he'll be successful at USF.
