Charlie Strong expected back in Tuscaloosa this week (AL.com)
quote:
Alabama may be on the verge of adding a well-known coach to its staff. Charlie Strong, who was in Tuscaloosa for two days last week, is expected to return to Tuscaloosa this week and possibly as soon as tomorrow, according to sources.
It’s looking like things continue to move toward Strong joining the Alabama staff in a support staff capacity, per sources. Strong would become the latest big-name coach to join Nick Saban’s staff in an off-field role.
The 59-year old has been a head coach at Louisville (2010-13), Texas (2014-16) and South Florida (2017-19) and was previously Florida’s defensive coordinator under Urban Meyer.

Looks like USF got out cheap with the firing of Strong.
The first two years of Strong’s contract took advantage of the fact that there were still two years left on his contract with Texas when he was fired in Austin. USF is only paying Strong a total salary of $1 million per year until his Texas buyout expires. In 2019, USF’s compensation of Strong jumps to $2.5 million. Then it’s $2.6 million in 2020 and $2.7 million in 2021. Even if Strong was winning championships here, that’s a lot of money for a Group of Five school like USF to be paying a football coach. If he’s not winning championships, it’s just plain foolish.
