The rumor started as an innocent question posed on the Twitter account of a blog that shall remain nameless. Would Charlie Strong jump to Miami?
At the time, it was just wild speculation. Al Golden and his Hurricanes still had the prospect of a successful season in front of them. Meanwhile, Strong was in dire straits. His team had just embarrassed Longhorn Nation with a 50-7 meltdown against TCU. One of his prized recruits was retweeting transfer requests at halftime. His players were openly sniping at each other. Strong appeared to be on borrowed time.
The talk died down the next week when Texas shocked Oklahoma, but the rumors have never really gone away.
