Per twitters

i thought he would have stayed, but i guess because bridgewater is leaving he feels that the team won't be as good next year

 

[mcdawg22]

If it doesn't happen that just illustrates the insanity of twitter..

In one minute I saw at least 100 people claiming knowledge of Strong's hiring.

They could do worse, but certainly better. This hire doesn't fit the landscape.

Ready for a second helping of coaching rumor:
Cutcliffe to U of L.

If I'm Cutcliffe I would stay at Duke until I retire. Great place to live, great school, and could build a legacy.

Absolutely

I think it is all speculation at this point.

Im sure it had nothing to do with the $25MM he'll make.

Mullenz to Louisville???!?!?!

 

[RocketDawg]

Not to mention he's paid quite well, and there are no huge expectations. Duke has a lot of money.

 

[civildawg88]

Yeah I think this was a very meh hire. He has no connections in Texas at all, but Texas recruits itself so he may not need them

How about Hud to L'ville?

How about Hud to L'ville?

Jurich has much higher standards than that. There will be a certain faction of the UofL fan base that wants Petrino back, but is think he's way down the list.

if Strong decides to go, I could see Jurich make a play for someone like Franklin. UofL is a much better job than people think.

Sure, Duke is loaded, but (pasted from the twitters):

Only 9 schools paid their football coaches a higher salary than #UofL last season: 'Bama, Texas, Ark, Tenn, Okla, Ohio St, LSU, Mich, Iowa.
