Even so, Jurich said that there was more work to do and that no offer was made.  However, Jurich also noted that during the course of his research, he had received several recommendations on Strong, including one from former Indianapolis Colts coach Tony Dungy.  "Not a bad recommendation," Jurich said.

It seems clear from Jurich's comments that Strong is the leader in the clubhouse.  Florida, however, will try to keep him and depending on how the dominos fall this week with other coaching vacancies, Strong may also wind up a candidate elsewhere, although it appears that he and Louisville are the only ones talking to each other now.  Given the manner in which Jurich has conducted past coaching searches, Strong has to be his number one guy, and he must feel fairly confident about getting him.  Jurich doesn't reveal information about prospective hires until he is ready for it to go public.
