Strong certainly can recruit FL, but is that enough?I know Taggert is the hot name for FSU, but what about Charlie Strong?
Here is what I would worry about with Strong as AD of any big football power: He thrived in small market Louisville, at a program new to the Big Time. But at Texas he seemed in over his head the entire time, failing to win up to the talent level even 1 season. He goes to non-P5 USF and again is comfortable and wins up to talent level.
Some coaches work best as under dogs. They need to feel as if they are the small guy, the David. They overachieve at places lacking major football history and a huge fan base, and then they fail to achieve fully at schools with all that history and the huge stadiums.
The FSU coach is always going to be the biggest Over Dog in the ACC because of the school's size, location,.football history, and admission standards.
