Are you really comparing Charlie Strong as a LB coach to Diaz and Patke? Strong specializes in LBs and has been a very successful DC in addition to having significant HC experience. I wouldnt want Strong as my HC and tbh he would have been way down on my list for DC but as LB coach with his resume his experience and his recruiting prowess, the guy is a grand slam as a LB coach. Not only that but he answers to Kevin Steele who also specializes is LBs so there is your fail safe. Not that we needed it but there it is.
