I've said it many times before on here if Strong is here next year Quick will more than likely go to Louisville if not I think you all get him.

You are completely delusional if you think Louisville moving to the ACC will keep Strong from leaving.  It's never going to be a top job.  Great coaches will always seek the best jobs.  Lousiville will never have the built in advantages of the top jobs that will keep a great coach long term.

Louisville has a heisman candidate coming back & they are a lock to win Big East next year and go to back to back BCS games then they jump to ACC

Jurich has said he will match any offer Strong gets financially

Strong has repeatedly said he feels like Louisville gave him a shot when no one else would.
I think its 50 - 50 not delusional at all to imagine him staying

Strong reportedly in conversations with Auburn.  Expect Quick to OSU all but a done deal!

Nope, he's denying it.
Looks like he'll stay at Louisville.

What do you expect him to say?  He's trying to be respectful to his current players.

Urban Meyer also was denying that he was coming to tOSU.

Meyer wasnt coaching a football team when he denied it

"Matching any offer he gets?"  Yeah sounds like a marquee program to me.   I am sure Strong has always dreamed of coaching in front of 48,000 fans while utilizing sub-par facilities and harvesting the fertile recruiting grounds of Kentucky.  In the short term he could definitely stay but there is absolutely no way he stays there over the long term if he continues to be successful.

FWIW, ESPN lists the battle for Quick as one of their most recent top 10 bluechip recruiting battles--- and names Ohio St as being in the driver's seat.

YES...what do you expect him to say ?  When's the last time you heard a coach who's name is included in an opening at a larger school say...'Yes, I'm interested in this job and will be leaving if offered' ?  LOL !  I've never heard it...

Rumor Strong interviewed at Tennessee today as well - Looks like he could be gone!

Quick will be a Buckeye, Urban will close the deal...

Not #1 Candidate right now

Possible silent verbal.

If he has interviewed at 2 SEC schools this week that does not look good for UofL regardless of where he stands with those schools.

All I said is it is not delusional to imagine he stays!  I personally think he goes but not delusional to see why he would stay

the writing is on the wall.  Charlie Strong will be gone from L'ville.  95% chance he leaves this year, but if not, he will definitely be gone next year.  Only those delusional L'ville fans that refuse to believe the truth will say he is staying.  

I will be the first one to say Welcome to the Buckeye family James Quick!!!!

You are exactly what Urban Meyer wants in a playmaker/WR in this offense!

I think Strong leaving for an SEC school is a foregone conclusion. That is no the issue. The issue is whether or not Urban can close after Charlie leaves? (:D)

Everyone is saying that James Quick is all but a done deal for OSU but what i've been reading, he says LVille is on top, what is going on?? lol

Strong stays at Louisville = Quick is a Cardinal
Strong leaves (seems like a sure thing from what I'm hearing) = Quick is probably a Buck

Not everyone is saying that.
Remember where you are.
