New USF football coach Charlie Strong received harsh criticism from a Florida judge after Bulls player Ladarrius Jackson appeared in court for a hearing on charges of sexually battering and falsely imprisoning a woman.
Judge Margaret Taylor, who graduated from USF in 1989, said she was ashamed to be an alumna of the school.
“Let’s just say my USF diploma is not proudly hanging in my office right now," Taylor said. "And I have a message for your coach as well. Coach Strong, if you are listening, in the last couple of months there have been two arrests of your players — very violent felonies.
"This court, and I’m sure I’m not alone, questions whether you have control over your players. It’s fairly clear that you do not have control over them off the field and I guess only time will tell whether you have control over them on the field.”
Strong, who was hired by USF in December after his firing from Texas, has suspended Jackson indefinitely. The junior defensive end was recruited by previous Bulls coach Willie Taggart, who left for the same position at Oregon.
There is definitely pressure on Strong to prove he can win again following a largely disappointing three seasons with the Longhorns. A public reprimand from a local judge definitely won't make the process any easier.
