Would anyone be opposed to a Strong for Rich Rod trade?

And also think CWT would be gone to FSU before he can coach the Peach Bowl. Don’t think he would have stayed for that which would suck. So maybe it was good that he was gone a year earlier. Wish they would instate a rule requiring coaches to coach the bowl before officially accepting the next job offer. The kids deserve to have their coach for that bowl game. 

It’s just not possible to institute a rule like that with the way the recruiting schedule is.

Does anyone know if he has been working out as a WR or RB?  I doubt he will make the league as a QB.

He said he plans on working out with the QBs, WRs, and RBs.

Aresco’s priority should be to kill of the MWC. You become part of the P6 when you look more like the P5 and not the G5. Time to go get Boise State, San Diego State, Air Force and UNLV.

Boise, SD St, UNLV, Colo St (Assuming BYU says no)

I think his defense at Georgia Tech was pretty good when he was the DC their. Im too lazy to look it up though lol

He was actually just the Linebackers coach there. This is actually his first year as a DC. Went pretty **** well IMO.

The stats speak 4 themself. 

Oh I agree. The stats are amazing and really is incredible how much the D improved this year. I just don’t know how much of that should be attributed to BJM vs Charlie.

Btw, you're an angry lil man aren't you?

We're talking about our schedule this year...that Auburn game he's referring to happened 10 years ago.

Easy buddy, I'm not trying to ruffle your feathers. You're reading too much into my text. 

From this Topic thread, I counted Michigan State, Wisconsin, Texas Tech, and UMass who have cancelled on you. When I said limited observations, I meant I just know from what I've read at thebullspen.com, and those 4 have been mentioned as teams that have cancelled on you.

I really only care enough to get into the details  about why TTU cancelled, but I can't find anything. And don't say we were scared to play you, bc we have had and will have worthy OOC opponents annually.

We never had a game with Texas Tech scheduled...no idea where you got that from. And the Umass game got cancelled 3 weeks into the season because of Hurricane Irma. You're just confused, stupid, or ignorant. Good possibility it's a combo of all three.

How do you guys have so many teams canceling on you. This brings the total to four from my limited observations. Yeah, that's gotta be frustrating.

No I just don't think you can count. The two I'm talking about are obviously the same two that the other poster was talking about. Not that hard to follow...They cancelled because they scheduled a home and home with us when we were god awful a few years ago. They got the home game at their place, and then when they were faced with traveling to play a vastly improved G5 team, they realized they didn't have anything to gain by it and they bought the game out So they could play another cupcake game at home. To be specific, Michigan St completely bought the game out, Wisconsin just moved it back until 2019.

What did the Bulls do this year? As I mentioned elsewhere, "I feel USF's 9-2 record looks great at first glance, but upon further review, the Bulls accomplished little. You had the worst out of conference SOS, ranked at 130 of 130 (TTU at 41). Your in conference SOS was ranked 76 (TTU at 33). You beat all your cupcakes, but when it came down to playing teams with a winning record you were oh so close. The resume is lacking anything impressive.

Yeah Tech has a 6-6 record, another rough season for us. We did have 2-3 of those oh so close games too (WVU, OSU, KState). But I think where we best USF is we actually beat some worthy opponents, something USF can't say. Our wins against UH, ASU, and Texas are certainly better than anyone you beat this year; one of them even beat you.

Fortune favors the bold, and signing up for the easiest out of conference schedule gets you nothing. You are stuck taking us fat little girlfriends to the dance."

 

Well when you're supposed to play both Michigan State and Wisconsin at home and they bail at the last second, there's not much else you can do other than schedule the likes of San Jose St and Stonybrook

I had to go to the FSU board and informed them that BJM is the worse defensive coordinator ever and that they need to aim  higher lol  I also told them that Shaun King sucked and that the only person they assistant they should steal away is Gilbert lol 

Are we really even sure of how much of an influence BJM had on the defensive improvement this year?

How can Flowers save Taggart when Taggart was the ONLY coach to give him a chance at qb? Taggart also called the plays that made him a star. I doubt Woodie is made a DC the stakes are waaay too high. Taggart will find somebody. Ucon's old coach would be good. 

I guess you didn't see how Nebraska's defense performed this year under Diaco. His career trajectory has fallen off a cliff. They let up a 50 burger 4 times this year. 114th in Scoring Defense.120th in yards per play. 

I wonder how his hands are. As shifty and agile as he is, he could make one of the most athletic slot receivers or 3rd down backs the league has seen if he can catch.

Good to see the game highly rated. AAC needs to win 6 out of 7 of the bowl matchups to keep up the P6 narrative. I doubt UCF beats Auburn, but USF, Navy, and Memphis will be favored over their P5 opponents. 

Not sure if Navy is gonna be favored, the line isn't out yet since they still play Army this weekend, but it should be right around a Pickem, maybe Navy -1 or -2. But here are the other lines for AAC games.

SMU -5 vs La Tech

Temple -7 vs FIU

USF -2.5 vs TTech

Houston -2.5 vs Fresno St (why the hell was Fresno ranked)

Memphis -3.5 vs Iowa St

UCF +9.5 vs Auburn

Meh, i think Tice deserved it more. But what do I know.

I haven't been keeping up the last few days.... let me tell you reading the last few pages was excellent entertainment.

UCF, FSU, and UF will all have new new coaches... all of the disruption should create a good recruiting year. Hope Strong takes advantage of it. 

Crazy what what is happening in Tennessee and Florida being turned down so many times. 

Strong isn't going anywhere. 

FSU and UF getting a new coaching staff has absolutely no effect on our recruiting class. Zero.

Q = second team!? I think I want to throw up, that's definitely a rub IMO.

It's really not though. Look at the numbers. Milton and Ferguson had superior years and led their teams to the conf title game. Pretty hard to argue there.

Im still guessing St. Pete is a real option. They want to fill some seats and figure USF will bring more people than Temple, Houston, or SMU. 

St Pete is 100% not an option. The conference wants to put us in one of the spots against a P5 team. This has already been reported by multiple outlets. The conference and TV partners have much more influence into the bowl spots for our conference than they do for P5 ones where they are more or less slotted/the bowl committees get to select who they want in a tiered order.

What are the alternative options for our bowl game? 

It's gonna be Military, Independence, Liberty, or Birmingham. We won't be in a crappy FL bowl.

Would FSU have the $$$ to buy out Oregon?  Or would they be using Jimbo's buy out money?

It would be interesting and would not negatively affect us as far as I can see.

His buyout is only 2.5 million at Oregon. Peanuts to FSU

Those first 21 points were all Auggie's fault yet we managed to allow 14 points in less than 6 minutes of the 4th quarter without him in there.  I don't get some people.  

What're you talking about? No one said they were his fault. Everyone was just agreeing that it was probably in the team's best interest to go with a smaller/ faster lineup.
