Charlie Strong: welcome change or strict disciplinarian?

Post by bonarae »

He has already kicked 9 players off his team this early in the season and another 2 are still suspended and in danger of being kicked off the team as well.

His "Core Values" program is comprised of the following tenets: honesty, treating women with respect, no drugs, no stealing and no weapons.

Well, would he be better off in a lower division school or is he a welcome change in the FBS despite having a 2-2 record so far?

IMHO, he's treating the players like a head coach in a D-II, D-III or NAIA program, in which suspensions or players being booted from the team are almost unheard of or are uncommon in those levels. Agree or disagree?
All the Ivy League needs to become relevant again is to diversify its OOC schedule.

Are those "core values" REALLY too much to expect from a member of our society? If you can't adhere to those, should you really be afforded a free ride to attend college?

He appears to be a class act and from everything I've seen and heard he's the kind of coach I would want my kids to play for.
