I agree that someone like Dooley is probably "as good as it gets" for us .... just don't consider "as good as it gets" as synonymous with "home run hire". A home run hire, to me, would be a lot higher profile, with more success, whose name alone would breathe a little life back into the program. Nobody seriously mentioned up to this point fits that bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody seriously mentioned up to this point fits that bill. That's why I said 'Homerun hire for USF' its all in the eye of the beholder.

Doesn't look like USF has one though. We lack funds and fans, and the results of an NCAA investigation are still looming. I think there may be legs to the Dambrot turning us down rumors. I wish Gregory the best of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
