It doesn’t matter that we didn’t win the tournament, this is about our athletic department not doing their job. They sat back and let a deadline pass because going into this tournament our RPI very much showed that hosting was still in the realm of a possibility. Stop making excuses for something athletics should have done when they didn’t.
Thank You

I’m saying those schools were a lot closer to doing what needed to be done on the field than we were. Which would make that application a little more important. That application didn’t stop us hosting, our play did and that’s what isimportant.
Were they really though? Coastal Carolina was one spot ahead of us in RPI and it look them beating Troy in their Conf Champ to get to that point. Not to mention we had 14 wins over teams that are in the field....Coastal Carolina had 8.

Where is this information coming from. From what I’ve read, it’s much more than that. It’s full on proposal. No intern handles those.
Whatever the process may be, if you're telling me you're okay with the fact that schools like ECU, Coastal Carolina, and Stetson can find a way to do it but we can't, I guess we just have differing opinions on where we are as a program.

Wow, I hate, "journalism" these days. How about find out more information before writing a story?
They tried to....the athletic dept. chose not to give them any relevant information on a simple request.

This article doesn't, "prove" anything. From what I've read, us hosting was the longest of long shots and until we hear from USF, we don't know why they chose not to submit a bid. It could be as simple as they were advised that it wouldn't happen and felt their man-power would be better served elsewhere.
Man power for what? Submitting a 5 question online application that would take an intern 3 minutes to fill out? Longest of long shots? The #1 criteria the committee uses for selecting teams to the tournament is RPI. We finished 18th in RPI, 16 teams host...Also, as the article states, the deadline to submit the application was before the Conf Tourney. Had we beat UCONN again and then gone onto beat ECU, that would've been two additional wins against the #16 and #12 RPI teams. I'd say that's about as good of case we'll ever have to host. The optics of the whole situation are just absolutely terrible. It's just not something an athletic program with our aspirations should be struggling with.

We continue to prove time and time again that we are a minor league athletic program run by minor league people.

Thanks visible voting system! Now I can see people like @goldenbrahm1996 throwing the down vote around. And with no reason posted to back it up, I have to assume he's in the #NeverGilbert camp like TDS.
Sure, I'll gladly post a reason. By and large Yards Per Play has universally become the best way to evaluate how effective an offense is. Even if you don't agree with that, the author gave multiple other reasons to show how ineffective the offense was compared to the prior year. Based on your post, I assumed there was no use in arguing with you as there is little to no chance you'd change your point of view.

No... but I'm actually friends with him and on a first name basis since we met at UCLA. So when you're being a smart ass, know what you're talking about. But don't be sorry I'm not related to him, but I know him and his family smart guy.
Dude you are literally the definition of a smart ass. Literally I don't know if I've ever seen you post on here or any other site without being smartass about something/towards someone.

I see it playing out more like 2011, Bolts in 6
Caps are garbage. I'll be shocked if it goes more than 5.

I sometimes get the feeling he’s gotten to the point where he’s just trolling the whole fan base because it gets people stirred up and drives more clicks. I don’t think he truly enjoys covering the team even the slightest bit and merely does it because it gives him a weekly paycheck.

Presumably, both Kean and Oladokun are better passers than Q.
Yeah, I just don't really buy that sentiment at all.

I can't imagine Battle is really in the running.
RB might be a mediocre RBBC.
Secondary is losing a lot, but is able to replenish. I'm not more worried about them than the front seven. For me the concerns are LB > Line > Ends > Secondary.
Special teams wise, we have nothing returning at ... returner. Johnson and Fullwood have been the bell cows. They're gone. I expect someone good to emerge, but concerning nonetheless.
TBH, RB is the starting position I’m the least worried about, besides maybe CB. Cronkite is the real deal and as long as he stays healthy, we’ll be set. However, I’m not overly thrilled with the way we’ve recruited the position over the last couple years and I think the lack of depth at the position shows.

**** I was really hoping we would bring Blackwell home if Kings leaves for the Tennessee job in the next couple weeks.

scratch that, just saw they filled the position last night

Not really that big of a story, but it still made me proud and I figured I’d share.

He chose USF over a dozen top schools because we promised him PT at QB.
Wouldn't be surprised in the least if he chose CFL over NFL for the same reason.
Worked for Warren Moon and others
To be honest, I don't think it'd be the worst idea. I'd love it too because it would give me a reason to watch football in the middle of the summer when I'm usually stuck watching the rays play in an empty against teams they can't realistically compete against.

Wow. Talk about your fake news.
Way to do your homework, idiot reporter.
He was at practice all week...that's where almost all of the evaluation took place. By all accounts, he had a pretty underwhelming week of practice. They actually yanked him off the field at one point because he couldn't take a snap under center, fumbling two straight at one point. I love the kid to death and would consider taking a bullet for him, but he has absolutely no chance of playing QB. Needs to start working out as a WR/RB unless he wants to go to Canada. They did say that numerous CFL scouts were there last week and told him straight up they would love him at QB. So he's gonna have a pretty tough decision.

Yes - we did certainly didn't do that this past season. We fell from 2016 final #19 to #23. Definitely not stronger. Still don't think we start the season ranked though.
Nope. Not a chance.

So you would advocate getting rid of him? Dropping a coach after only one year will make it very difficult for anyone to want to coach you at the school
No I'm not saying that at all. I'm just saying I don't think he is the guy we need to take us to the next level and it wouldn't be a bad thing at all if he decided to leave.

To be fair UCONN tried to do what you're advocating when Edsall left for Maryland and they hired Diaco. Diaco inherited a program that under Edsall only had been consistently making bowls and proceeded to not have a single winning season in his 3 years there. Also, it's intellectually dishonest to claim Edsall is a failure when this season was his first season back... I'm expecting UCONN to be back to being pesky in a couple years once Edsall gets a few recruting cycles in up there. He knows how to recruit and win at UCONN.....
He sure is tearing it up on the recruiting trail so far....

I think you got to give him “at least” one year with his players and his system with those players before burning down the house
The problem is we didn't have one year for him to be able to figure it out with his own system and players. I feel pretty strongly that a major reason he was hired was because Harlan believed we needed an established coach who could come in and simply take the talent we had on the roster and not screw it up. He knew this was supposed to be the year the program was taken to the next level and didn't want a first time head coach learning on the job. If you would've told me last year when we were looking for a coach that we were gonna go 9-2, while sitting on our asses yet again on the first Saturday in December and then taking another trip back to wonderful Birmingham, I would've said just find an up and coming coordinator or smaller G5 head coach who is hungry and wants to make a name for himself. The G5 teams that have had success lately have done exactly that. The ones who went the way of the older retread who had flamed out at a P5 school like Cincy (Tubberville) and UConn (Edsall) haven't fared so well.

Rich Rod has had a crappy reputation for the past decade. Then he loses his job for sexual misconduct.....and u have the audacity to even make this comment? Im sorry what has Charlie done to het this treatment besides lead us to a 10-2 season?
Also, we won 10 games in spite of him, not because him. When you have the most talented roster your school has ever seen led by the best player you've ever had (most likely ever will have), you don't lose to the only two teams on your schedule with a winning record. You beat your hated rival, play in a conf champ game, and then in a major bowl game...

You can defend him all you want, but he's never gonna be the guy that gets us to that next level. If you wanna win 7-10 games a year in perpetuity, than sure by all means keep him around as long as he wants to be here. The guy is an above average recruiter and defensive mind, but an average at best head coach.

UCF should be in top 4 while USF should be in top 15. Two close losses one to UCF and the other to a fluke play against Houston
I don't think either of us get that high. I think at the top they'll go
1. Bama/UGA
2. Bama/UGA
3. Oklahoma
4. Ohio State
5. Clemson
6.UCF
Maybe flip UCF/Clemson, but they won't jump OSU and Oklahoma after both of their performances.
Then I think we end between 20-23.

UCF loses their HC, USF their most productive qb in team history. I doubt both those ratings.

Here's a link that explains the process, starting on page 19. From the way that reads, everyone wishing to host has to go through the application process.
http://www.ncaa.org/sites/default/files/2018D1MBA_PreChampsMan_20180214.pdf
Here's the first paragraph of that section for those who don't wanna click:
"Any institution or conference interested in hosting a preliminary round of the 2018 NCAA Division I Baseball Championship must submit a proposed budget, facility evaluation form, key contacts form, proof of insurance and video board questionnaire (if applicable) to be considered to host. A separate proposed budget and key contacts form must be submitted for each round that an institution or conference is interested in hosting. Please respond to sport-specific questions and ensure the institution’s key contacts and facility information are up to date via the Championships Bid and Host Profile portal. To submit a bid, first search for the desired championship under “championships available for bid” and select “add bid.”
