A great piece from the Orlando Sentinel on Coach Strong.

NEW ORLEANS — Last week, Texas Tech coach Tommy Tuberville hurriedly walked out in the middle of a dinner with recruits and never again returned. He accepted the Cincinnati job the very next day.

Last season, Todd Graham resigned via text message to take the Arizona State job only 11 months after being hired by Pitt — a program that gave him his first job at a BCS school and allowed him to completely remodel the entire football complex at a cost of hundreds of thousands of dollars. "Everything he told us has been a lie," Pitt receiver Devin Street said at the time.

And then there's Charlie Strong.
He could have left Louisville a couple of weeks ago for a bigger, better job at Tennessee. Actually, he probably should have left Louisville a couple of weeks ago for a bigger, better job at Tennessee. But, deep down, he knew that would make him a hypocrite.

"I talk to the players all the time about trust and commitment," Strong, the former University of Florida defensive coordinator, said as he prepared the Cardinals for Wednesday's Sugar Bowl matchup with the Gators. "When I recruited them, I stressed the process and commitment and that they just had to stay with me. So when I had the opportunity to leave, I just couldn't walk out on them like that."
