There were reports that Strong was in Tampa on Friday to discuss the job and it looks like the two sides could be close to a deal. While Strong didn't leave Tampa indicating one way or the other if he would take the job, one source close to the Tampa Bay Times says there's a better than 50 percent chance he takes the job.
The source also indicated terms of the former Texas coach's contract with the Longhorns remains a minor sticking point. Strong's Texas deal calls for him to be paid his base salary of $10 million, but the Longhorns are also entitled to half of whatever he makes at his next job.
