Charlie Strong Returns to Gamecock Country | Columbia News

Charlie Strong, ex-Gamecocks defensive coordinator and seasoned head coach, returns to Columbia for a nostalgic SEC Network Plus broadcast as analyst — bringing decades of SEC wisdom, deep ties to South Carolina’s revival under Lou Holtz, and fresh insights on this year’s roster led by QB LaNorris Sellers. He’s embracing the learning curve of broadcasting while reconnecting with old friends like Buddy Pough and soaking in the passionate Gamecock fan energy he remembers from his playing days. With an up-tempo offense under Kendal Briles and a strong transfer portal haul, Strong sees promise — and he’s thrilled to be back, even if Columbia’s changed since his last visit.
