Charlie Strong was introduced to the media by the University of Texas on Monday, and at least one of his former players was not amused.
Louisville junior cornerback Andrew Johnson tweeted his thoughts upon watching his former coach on national TV:
Johnson also called Strong “fake” in response to another person’s tweet:
“@UNHMOSHOOD26: @LockDown_15 I feel you. That boi look to happy throwing up the hookem horns smh” Hahahaha bra he so fake

What’s Johnson’s big beef? He says Strong lied to his Louisville players:
@nmstate5 I know bra but it's how he went about it bra.. He told us not to worry bout nothing cause he ain't going nowhere

We see this happen often and it’s never easy. A coach who leaves one school for a better job leaves behind an entire program that he helped build. There are always going to be hurt feelings, but most people will probably give Strong a break and realize how this was an opportunity he couldn’t pass up.
