Some times the media forces things out of sequence, Jurich was in Steamboat Springs and with the weather was having a hard time getting back to Louisville. I am sure they had hoped the lid could stay on the story until after Strong met with the players and administration. I don't put it on Strong as much as the media and people inside the situation leaking the story.
He won with some of Blake's players which is something Blake couldn't do because he had no clue as you stated. Without a QB like Huepel (or similar) they would have been better but floundered offensively just like they under Blake except they would have not had a different offensive scheme every week.
Wasn't Torrance Marshall a JC transfer after Stoops was hired?
