Report: Charlie Strong Joins Mario Cristobal's Miami Staff as LBs Coach

After a year in the NFL, Charlie Strong is back in college.

The former Texas head coach is joining Mario Cristobal’s coaching staff in Miami as the Hurricanes' new linebackers coach, ESPN’s Chris Low reports.

Strong is no stranger to the state of Florida, having spent 2003-2009 as a defensive assistant on the Florida Gators’ staff, mainly defensive coordinator. Strong was also the interim head coach for the Gators for their 2004 Bowl Game before the school hired Urban Meyer.

He also spent time at Florida as a graduate assistant in 1983, as the outside linebackers coach from 1988–89, and as a defensive assistant from 1991–94.
