I know it is easy for me to say but I feel some poor decisions and lack of foresight are happening.
First, coach Strong going to Texas makes no sense from either side. From a money grab point is makes $5 million reasons for Strong, but he in my opinion is going to be swallowed by the enormity of the job and dealing with their boosters. I agree with him leaving Louisville because I think they are going suck next year and he didnt want to lose this window like Schiano did a few years ago, but he would have been better in the south somewhere. Texas is one of the top 2-3 programs in the country and should have gotten a more seasoned coach.
Now to Golden, this will kill his career mark it down. Going to PSU with these sanctions and the fact that Obrien has done pretty well the last few years have expectations up there that will not be met. I suspect he last 5 years then gets canned while he was beginning a upswing here. If he waited another 2-3 years he goes wherever he wants.
