Odds Strong leaves Louisville?

If he stays, recruiting will suffer. Recruits will think to themselves, "He is being courted by big money schools...he won't be here when I get to my sophmore year".

Also, if he was staying, he would have said that from the start. No "I will discuss that at the right time" comments.

I hope he gets a good offer from a school that will support him, whoever and wherever that may be. If not, staying ain't all bad -- at least I hope he squeezes a raise out of the AD. If not, he can call Les Miles and get a couple of pointers.

Charlie should stay...with Teddy he can lead Louisville to the ACC title. he just like Mark Stoops at Kentucky will struggle mightily.

Yes, but by not saying "I'm staying at Louisville" last week when all these jobs opened up, it leaves doubt in the minds of the Louisville faithful. Doubt is what kills you in recruiting.

Yep and Augie. We have a 62 yo football coach who is out of touch and looks 72, a 73 yo baseball coach who is out of touch, a 60 yo basketball coach who is out of touch and a 73 yo athletic director who is biding his time until his $1million per year retirement annuity starts in 2014 and apparently has no desire or the energy to clean house and start fresh being he is a short timer. Mens big 3 are a wreck right now.

But y'all have LHN and $$$.

Don't you think that recruits at Oregon or Boise State, "will think to themselves", Kelley or Petersen is/are being courted by big money schools and they won't be here when I get to my sophmore year"??

I guess I should have finished by saying, that all "good" coaches go through this and are offered jobs from other colleges or pro teams. It's part of the business.

I would bet that he is already in the finals of paperwork and will be gone. Anytime they say what he did, it is always a misdirection.
