10. Charlie Strong

There may be no man in all of college football as likable as Charlie Strong. The head coach of the University of Texas has had his tough spots since taking over at UT, but he continues to keep a smile on his face. When Texas knocked off No. 10-ranked Notre Dame in double overtime in the season opener, he was literally carried off the field by his players.

Strong’s journey to Texas started off at the University of Louisville, where he got his first taste of being a head coach at the FBS level. From 2010-2013, Strong turned around the Cardinals program, going 23-3 during his last two years. When the University of Texas came calling, Strong bolted Louisville to help resurrect the fallen program.

Now in his third season at Texas, Strong appears to be turning around the program. The program finished under .500 in each of his first two seasons, but has gone 2-1 in the early going in 2016. If he can finish strong, he should be able to start getting the recruits he needs to compete at a national championship level.

Strong would be the perfect person to go out partying with, because he is always going to find the positive in whatever you do. He’s not going to sit around and sulk, but instead is going to find exactly where the good times are. Strong is also known for taking chances, so who knows where the evening may take you?
