Former Longhorns Coach Charlie Strong Is Selling His Austin Mansion for M

Shortly after being named head coach for the University of South Florida—and after the University of Texas fired him—football coach Charlie Strong has put his Austin, TX, mansion up for sale.

However, the 10,896-square-foot home isn’t on display for the average home buyer—it’s quietly listed for qualified buyers. Austin Business Journal reports the mansion is privately listed for $4,995,000.

We did find a previous listing of the 2004-built home, which sits on 4 acres overlooking the Fazio Canyons golf course. It has a study with cherry wood walls, a game room with bar and sunken TV area, a wine cellar, a sport court, and a three-car garage. Each of the five bedrooms has a terrace entrance and California closet.

The Longhorns hired Strong in January 2014 amid great fanfare, but the coach amassed a less-than-stellar 16-21 record over three seasons in Austin. The college football powerhouse showed no patience and fired Strong in late November.

The University of South Florida hired him to head up its program just days later. Strong signed a five-year, $9.8 million contract with the Bulls, with Texas picking up almost all of the tab for his first two seasons in Tampa.
