It took......
27 years.....10 jobs as an assistant coach......and 7 Universities....
Finally.........Charlie R. Strong.......has been named at head coach at a major college. Years and years of rejection after rejection......Years and years .....of interview after interview.
And finally....the University of Louisville ....has had the good sense.....and the guts.....to hire this man.
Qualifications........were never a problem for Mr. Strong. As a defensive coordinator, he produced feared programs throughout the southeast at schools like Florida and South Carolina.
But the fact remained......and still does.......Charlie Strong.... is married to ....a white woman.
And throughout the 70's, 80's, and even the 90's.....that just didn't sit well with the lily white booster clans.....of southern college football.
Welcome........Mr. Strong......we hope you are a great success at Louisville........and Louisville.....We salute you......for having the foresight.......and the "marbles".......to make this hire.
