You are scum. You are worse than the dog shit that is stuck between the grooves on the bottom of my shoe. You see, after sometime the dog shit stops smelling, but you, you just keep smelling. Charlie Strong is a terrific coach, and you are ignorant swine.

He is performing the function that the University hired him to do and he should be compensated according to the language of his employment contract. And, in concert with the other respondents, eff off Carddoc.

Let's see. In three years he's resurrected a dismantled program , gone to three straight bowl games , including a BCS bowl, won 9 games in a row for the first time in school history, , elevated UL football recruiting, filled an expanded stadium and done it all with class.
Raise? No, I think we should stand pat and let other programs offer him more. Why would we want to keep him?

(Does sarcasim come aross on message boards?)

I vote that Carddoc be banned permanantly . Anybody else? give him his money back and send him packing!

You are looking at only the coach instead of all other factors to include talent and depth. That said, I believe he is a good coach despite what he has to work with versus because of what he does have to work with. And you're still dogshit, if you think Petrino is the answer.

None of the things that you reference relate to his ability to be a HC. I never question his general coaching ability, only his HC ability. I think he would be great to keep on staff. However, all the data indicates that he has no ability to perform HC duties. He seems to lack the cognitive capacity to make good decisions. his history shows that he is great as long as someone is directing him. However, he continually makes poor decisions.

All of the success the past 2 years is directly attributable to Teddy.

LOL at banning me! Why would you ban one of the few people on the board that provides objective analysis?

AGREE 100%

Teddy = Recruited by Clint Hurtt
Clint Hurtt = Hired by Charlie Strong

Lets face it; Charlie has assembled a staff to bring in the talent. Isn't that a part of what a head coach is supposed to do which is why we are 10-2 and not 2-10. As he continues to grow and develop, he will mold himself into a great coach and continue bringing in the talent.

We all remember when we started our careers, right? We were all young and inexperienced, but as we learned the job and developed, we became knowledgeable. To call him a terrible HC is ridiculous.

There ya go fire a coach that has yet to have a loseing season here and is takeing us to a BCS game and hire the one that will do what it takes to make himself look great just so he can jump ship and leave ASAP. Sounds like a great Ideal

This is year three. What are you expecting out of him? Lets see some records of "non-terrible" head coaches:

Nick Saban
1990 Toledo: 9-2
1995 Michigan St: 6-5-1
1996 Michigan St: 6-6
1997 Michigan St: 7-5
1998 Michigan St: 6-6
1999 Michigan St: 9-2

Les Miles
2001 Oklahoma St: 4-7
2002 Oklahoma St: 8-5
2003 Oklahoma St: 9-4
2004 Oklahoma St: 7-5

Charlie Strong
2010 Louisville: 7-6
2011 Louisville: 7-6
2012 Louisville: 10-2

Charlie's recruiting his own guys that are going to buy into his system. My comment applies as he continues to get guys who want to play for him in, not just year 1.

Fact is, if he was THAT terrible, UT/AU/etc wouldn't be wanting him. The fact that SEC schools are going after our coach is a GOOD thing, people.

Remember 2007-2009?

Hmm, defensive much? Must have really struck a nerve there.

LOL, your words make no sense. Please try to type coherent english if you wish to make a point.

There are no "tactics" involved, just observations. Here is a hint. As a general rule, only racists play the race card.
