I'm a big Charlie Strong fan, which says quite a bit given his history.

That said I was talking to another coach this week about him. The consensus was that for him to be happy and successful and recruit to his full potential he needs to be in a bigger city less traditional campus environment. He excelled at SC and Louisville in those atmospheres. This other coach made it a point that it isn't a black/white thing either... its more personality of recruit. He said Charlie excels at getting"edgy" kids and keeping them in line without trying to "reform" them.

All that said, it was suggested to me and I full agree that Strong at GT would be a FORCE.
