Florida football: Rumors about Charlie Strong may be true

Speculation has ramped up over the last few days regarding Florida football bringing back former defensive coordinator Charlie Strong to the staff.

Our brothers at Hook ‘Em Headlines asked the question about Strong returning to Florida after he was fired as the head coach of South Florida after the 2019 season.

Strong finished 2019 with a 4-8 record with the Bulls and was 21-16 during his three years in Tampa.

Prior to that, Strong spent three years in one of the toughest college football environments — coaching Texas — where he was a lackluster 16-21.
