The OFFICIAL 2017 College football RANDOM THOUGHTS thread

Yes I am a fan, but also consider myself a realist. USC should win the Pac 12 next year, anything less would be a disappointment. I am not afraid to keep it 100.

Sam not even the best QB in the city

Stidham is barely any better than White. Id start Woody

He's way better than White

How do u know? Everyone looks good in that Baylor offense. White was decent when he wasn't hurt. Stidham's better but he's not that much better. Once he gets hit a few times and gets banged up he won't be nearly as good

A healthy White in Baylors offense would put up crazy #s too

 

[rantanamo]

as a true freshman he arguably looked better than all of the Baylor qbs under Briles outside of Griffin's Heisman season. True dual threat.

You're being completely dense on purpose. Dude's better than White in about every single facet. White might be somewhat better in terms of short accuracy, but it is severely eclipsed by what Stidham did deep. Dude is like 6'5 and had Luck-esque wheels. You also don't worry about someone falling off after a few hits with that frame. Woody could be very nice but he isnt touching what Stidham showed against some of the best teams Baylor played that year.

TAMPA, Fla. -- The reasons Charlie Strong is back flow with brutal honesty.

“There’s so many factors,” Strong said recently from his office overlooking the practice fields at South Florida. “I had two weeks [after being fired by Texas]. I just had to step back and take a look at myself.

“‘What would you have done differently? Would you allow this to define who you really are?’ That’s why I didn’t sit out. I just wanted to get back into it.”

To recount, USF’s new coach barely blinked after being fired by Texas on Nov. 26. Nineteen days later, Strong was at South Florida. The rebound didn’t have a chance to hit the floor.

“I was like, ‘This damn job will take my mind away from [what happened],’” Strong said in a quiet moment. “’I’m not going to give Texas that pleasure.’”

Along with a new job here, there apparently is a newfound candor. While Strong was coachspeak perfect for three years at Texas, there is a bit of a willingness to let it rip now.

There is a new level of comfort. There is no shadow mafia of boosters out to get him. Perhaps it’s because he is back “home” in the state where Strong has spent 15 years of his coaching career.

Perhaps it’s the myriad of Florida’s high school coaches -- and their talent -- that he can tap into with a quick phone call. Perhaps it’s inheriting an 11-win team with a Heisman Trophy candidate at quarterback (Quinton Flowers).



Did we say candor? Strong has always been a bit on the reserved side. But in 2001 and again in 2009, he said the fact that Victoria is white hurt his chances of getting a head coaching job.

Now with seven years in as a head coach, Strong brought up the subject of race again. It matters to Strong that he was first black head coach of a men’s program at Texas. It matters to Strong that he is the second African-American FBS coach to get another head coaching job after being fired. Tyrone Willingham (Notre Dame to Washington) was the other.

“When you’re the first black coach at a place like that, there’s so many people counting on you. You want to see it happen,” Strong said.

“If I’m successful as a minority, [it’s going to help someone] who wants to go run and be the CEO of IBM or there’s a minority who wants to go run a hospital.”

Not only that, but in a sport known for its lack of coaching diversity, Harlan replaced one African-American head coach (Willie Taggart) with another.

After getting the boot at Texas, Charlie Strong focuses on rebirth at South Florida

LOL at 6'5''. More like 6'2''. And any QB Baylor throws out there looks good. Its the system. And his #s weren't even impressive at Baylor. Of those 3 games he started, 2 of them were bad.. so yea. And he won't be a dual threat against SEC speed obviously. Lets stop acting like he is fast or something.

as a true freshman he arguably looked better than all of the Baylor qbs under Briles outside of Griffin's Heisman season. True dual threat.

He didn't have any rushing yards at Baylor. He definitely won't be a dual threat against SEC speed...
