Notice I said, "considered by Texas" and not the inverse.
No doubt, I wasn't questioning your point. I just don't figure he is going anywhere.

I'd like to think (read: hope) FSU can give him whatever the hell he wants to stick around.
Charlie Strong had a 4 hour interview with Texas yesterday but he's 1 of 4 on their list and he's probably 4th. I'll say this again: the only other job that would interest Charlie for sure is Florida, with an outside shot from South Carolina. Texas isn't a good fit for him and I think he knows it. He was passed over so many times for jobs and now he's in demand all of a sudden. I don't blame him for interviewing with other teams. He's earned it. We're paying him $3.7 mil. We'll just give him a raise, maybe put him over $4 mil.
Mike Munchak is interviewing for Penn State job. I think it's safe to say that the PSU head coach will be either Munchak, Al Golden, or James Franklin
After the scandal Penn State went through I'd be floored if they hire Franklin.
Strong has accepted the Texas job, he told AD Tom Jurich tonight. I wish him luck, but it's a poor fit and he's going to have buyer's remorse pretty quickly with that job.
I'd list possible replacements but trust nothing hear on the web. The only person that has that list is Tom Jurich and he'll get his man. That being said, I'm betting our next coach comes from this list:
Kirby Smart (not likely)
Chad Morris
Pat Narduzzi
Derek Mason (don't see how as it doesn't seem that he has any recruiting ties in the south and Florida)
Shawn Watson
That being said, the name could very well not be on that list. Only Jurich knows.
Why wouldn't Louisville consider Franklin from Vanderbilt? Seems like he knows the recruiting circles in the area and is obviously successful.

Personally I think Charlie Strong will do great at Texas if they give him a real shot. Mack's problem the last few years is he didn't put a lot of effort into recruiting.
I think Louisville should promote Shawn Watson.

Dude is from PA, and spent years in the PSAC (which is D-2 in the Penn State area) he applied for the job last time
Less than three days after officially finding out that he had a vacancy to fill, Tom Jurich has interviewed seven candidates to be the next head football coach at the University of Louisville, a source with the program tells Card Chronicle.
Jurich's search process is now being described as "winding down."
So who's the front-runner at this moment? Although that exact term was never used, Jurich is "very, very interested" in Bobby Petrino, and believes that everything he's learned since leaving U of L the first time would result in a "new Bobby" coming to Louisville. He personally forgave Petrino a long time ago, but understands the concerns held by some within the fan base and at the university.
In four seasons at Louisville, Petrino led the Cardinals to an overall record of 41-9, two top 10 finishes and a victory in the 2007 Orange Bowl.
As for the other candidates, the source wouldn't confirm the names of anyone who has been formally contacted by U of L outside of Vance Bedford and Shawn Watson, but did name Clemson offensive coordinator Chad Morris, Michigan State defensive coordinator Pat Narduzzi and Stanford defensive coordinator Derek Mason as candidates for the position. It was also mentioned that Arizona head coach Rich Rodriguez was never targeted by Jurich.
