He has had one good year at Louisville:
2010 7–6
2011 7–6
2012 10–2
Everyone seems to talk about what a great recruiter he is but his classes at Louisville have not been that good (I tried to steal the list from another site but I can't find the post). I'm pretty much the opposite, I'm not sure what everyone is seeing in him. Right now I think he is closer to a Dooley than a Muschamp.
I'm not sold on Strong but I'm not worried about the 7-6 seasons. Kragthorpe ran that program into the ground. It would've been tough for any coach to win right away.
