In case any of you were wondering what Charlie Strong is up to these days..

I’m sure that’s what all of you woke up wondering today.
He’s doing color commentary for MAC games on ESPN+. Found that out when I turned on my nephews game. Figured he’d at least be on somebody’s staff as an assistant.

Wonder how much that pays per week.

Wonder how much that pays per week.

I assume all his buyout has been paid . . . .

Or maybe he needs to earn little to continue it??

Pretty sure he's been fired from every job he's had the last 10 years.

Am I remembering wrong that his speaking wasn't the best I've heard in interviews? I'd think that wouldn't be good for working on TV. I might be misremembering though.

 

[Glenn's take]

I used to deliver pizza to his house a lot of Friday's. My buddy used to own a pizza place across from Lake Forest.

Lot of once rising star DCs who got big p5/p4 gigs over the past decade or so are doing other shit nowadays…

Gon be a few more joining them in the not so distant future

It’s not. He’s a bit difficult to understand at times. But he talks like a coach so he offers some decent insight but sometimes over the average viewers heads.
