Charlie Strong Biography

Charlie Strong is one of the most popular and richest Head Coach who was born on August 2, 1960 in Batesville, Arkansas, United States. Charles Rene Strong (born August 2 1960) is an American football intern who was also a former coach and player. Strong was the most recent director of the University of South Florida. He served in a variety of assistant coaching posts before becoming the head coach of Louisville’s University of Louisville in 2010. In his four-year tenure at Louisville, he guided his team of Cardinals to a 37-15 mark and won the bowl every season which included in 2013’s Sugar Bowl. Following the 2013 season, the coach quit Louisville to become the head coach of Texas’ University of Texas. He was dismissed by Texas following the 2016 season, which saw him record the team having a record of 16-21 in three seasons. A month after having left Texas, Strong was hired by South Florida where he led the Bulls to a record of 21-16 prior to being dismissed in 2019.

Strong was appointed as the coach of defense for the Florida Gators before the 2003 season began. Florida coach Ron Zook was fired midway through the Gators 2004 season however, he continued to coach the team until the bowl match. Strong was the interim coach for the Gators for one game, which was the Dec. 2004 Peach Bowl. Florida was defeated, 27-10, against Miami. In the time that Urban Meyer was hired as the head coach of Florida, Strong as the coach’s only assistant to be retained from Zook’s team.

In a January 2009 interview with the Orlando Sentinel, Strong expressed his belief that race played a large part in the reason that he hadn’t been offered a head coaching job in 2009. Strong, whose wife is white, especially cited prospective employers’ discomfort with his interracial marriage. Strong was a 2009 finalist for the Broyles Award, given annually to the nation’s top assistant coach.

Strong’s first upset win against a top 10 team at Texas was in the Red River Showdown in his second year, beating Oklahoma 24–17. Strong had begun the season 1–4, and coming into the game, the Longhorns program was noted by multiple national media outlets as being in trouble. The Longhorns dominated the rushing attack with 313 yards on the ground and had two players rush for over 100 yards in the game. Both players (QB Jerrod Heard and RB D’Onta Foreman) were in their second years, signalling the success of Strong’s recruiting at Texas. After the victory, the players picked up Strong and crowd-surfed him in the middle of the field, then Strong posed for photos wearing the Golden Hat. Texas would finish 5–7, not eligible for a bowl game, but ended the season on a high note upsetting No. 12 Baylor. The offseason saw Strong bring in another offensive coordinator in Sterlin Gilbert from Tulsa, and a top-10 recruiting class. Texas started their 2016 campaign against No. 10 Notre Dame at home, in which Strong started freshman QB Shane Buechele and Tyrone Swoopes scored the game-winning touchdown to upset Notre Dame in 2OT. In the following AP poll, Texas was ranked for the first time under Strong, at No. 11.

As of 1999, Strong became a part of his first team, the South Carolina Gamecocks as the defensive coordinator. His formidable defense and charismatic persona created excitement that he would become perhaps the first head coach of the SEC however, job opportunities were scarce. Sylvester Croom eventually broke the colour barrier in the SEC coaching ranks in 2004.
