Photo Finish: Charlie Strong Makes It Official
Images from the press conference introducing Charlie Strong as University of Louisville football coach.
Charlie Stong leaves no doubt that he wants to return respectability and respect to Louisville football.
Tom Jurich’s expression says the future of Louisville football is in good hands.
Tom Jurich introduces Charlie Strong to Owsley Frazier, the University of Louisville’s leading fan and benefactor.
One happy family, Tom and Terrilynn Jurich, Charlie, Haley Marie, Hope and Victoria Strong, and Louisville football fans.
About the Author: Charlie Springer is a former Louisville editor and sportswriter, as well as a public affairs consultant and a UofL grad and longtime fan.
Owsley can’t even look Strong in the eye. Whats up with that?
Well, this is a still picture. If it were a movie, you see a lot of eye contact in the frames before and after this still shot. At the moment, Tom is telling Charlie Strong about how great a supporter Owsley Brown is of U of L athletics. What you see is Owsley being humble in this shot. You can thank Owsley for making this hire possible.
Good stuff, especially the individual shots of Strong and Jurich.
Congratulations, Cards — we Gators are sorry to see Charlie Strong leave, but our loss is your gain. You’re getting a great coach and recruiter. Good luck!
I am very enthused about this hire. Let’s hope that Coach Strong is able to get the Cards back on the winning path. I believe that he will have great success at the ‘Ville. By the way, does his wife go by “Vicky?” I see that in the caption, but I’ve previously only heard her referred to as “Victoria.” Just wondering.
As always, nice job Charlie, thanks for the pics! Looking forward to the Cards
getting back on track!
Great pics and thanks for covering this historic event. Sit down and buckle up, Cardinal fans. The dawning of a new era is upon us and it’s going to be a fun ride.
