The reported flirtation between South Florida and Charlie Strong has culminated in the former Texas head coach making a Friday visit to Tampa, where USF will attempt to coax him into becoming their next head coach. But there’s no deal done yet, which leaves a glimmer of hope for those Ole Miss fans hoping Strong will end up in Oxford as the Rebels’ new defensive coordinator.
Sources of 247Sports.com tell us that Strong is currently debating the head coach vs. defensive coordinator path after Texas. He still wants to coach, but a source said he's not sure if he wants everything that comes with being a head coach after what he went through at Texas right now.
