The following is an excerpt from a BR article written about Strong after he got the Texas HC gig:
Between 2005 and 2009 as Florida's defensive coordinator, Strong fielded units that allowed 95.1 rushing yards per game,
good for first in the SEC and sixth in the FBS. During that same span, the Gators allowed 289.7 yards per game,
ranking fifth in the FBS.
Florida's 2009 defense ranked in the top 10 nationally in pass defense (2nd), total defense (4th), scoring defense (4th) and pass efficiency defense (6th),
per Gatorzone.com.
In his four years at Louisville, Strong never had a defense ranked outside of the top 25 in total yards allowed, finishing 18th, 23rd, 23rd and first between 2010 and 2013.
And we have him as a LBs coach…speechless. When Mario said this was only the beginning at his introductory press conference, he MEANT that shįt!
Things are different now folks, Miami means business. And when we mean business, we win titles. It’s that simple. I’m all in on Mario and his vision, and y’all should be too.
