  1. He is a Bull, if you ask him what his Alma Mater is, I hope he would say USF and throw up some horns. But, as the athlete who has made the most money in their respective sport than any other, he hasn't made any real significant contribution back to the university. I could be wrong about the first part, I hope I'm wrong about the later part, but that would be why I think maybe their isnt as much green and gold pride there as others.
  2. Yeah, not knocking the on field performance. Just not a guy I think of when I think heart and soul. Moffitt, Selvie, Hall, Mack, Flowers, Allen are a few that come to mind
  3. JPP is your example of players who put their heart and soul into USF? 13 games and leave early JPP? Seems like we were more of a means to an end. KJ didn't have to come back to struggling and rebuilding team. We should be thankful.
  4. Minuscule compared to everything else in the context of this discussion. Would it have made us better, maybe, that’s a different discussion. But even then you just can’t say that a CJL lead USF would be a perennial AAC powerhouse. It might have been, might be right where we are because everything else that had nothing to do with him. And that's not to say right where we are in the sense of a 1-9 season, but were we are in terms of the pecking order in the AAC.
  5. Except things wouldn't have stayed the same, Leavitt staying wouldn't have stopped us from being the AAC, it wouldn't have made Genshaft change her stances. These are changes that were going to occur with or without Leavitt. But I digress to the point that nothing that has happened over here has had any effect on how good they have become because of how they capitalized on the changes and the decisions that non football coaches have made. Leavitt doesn't change how much support the football program gets from administration. Ra Ra only goes so far.
  6. 7 out the last 10 world series champions have been ranked in the top ten in terms of payroll. the three exceptions: Stl '11- ranked 11th KC '15, Hou'17 Both of these teams tanked for years to hit on multiple high draft picks and cashed in on them. One of the teams paid their young stars and paid to bring in good to elite talent around them. The other one didn't, only one is still relevant, the other hasn't sniffed the playoffs since. the '90 Marlins are the only team to win a WS ranked lower than 16th. They were 25th, not 27th Odds say that spending money wins the world series and it makes sense when you think about the fact that the players you really need to seal the deal are expensive. Now for the decision, it was predetermined that Snell would not face the top of the order a third time. I believe that was even what Cashed offered as his reasoning. It was not a baseball decision, it was analytical decision. A directive from the top to the bottom. I get that he may have been running the meeting that made the decision, but he made based on what he is being asked to do, which is run the club a certain way. But you are right, they can compete. year in and year out, they can compete. That keeps them relevant enough to make the team profitable and maybe one year, they will put everything together catch that lightning in a bottle and win it all. We haven't seen that yet, but it is a possibility.
  7. So we can’t assume what inevitably ended up happening independently of USF would have happened, but we can assume that a fired coach from USF would have hindered the growth the UCF to essentially flip our current conditions ........ got it.
  8. Front office analytics team. And No, it hasn’t. They are still chasing a ring. They are really good at being really good though.
  9. That’s true, I forgot about that. Their success didn’t just appear in 2010. They just didn’t take off until the AAC and the NY6 games. Which would have happened in both universes.
  10. Frost and Milton have about 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000% more to do with what is happening in orlando than us firing a coach.. Are you saying that if we had kept Leavitt, UCF wouldn't have hired Frost, that Milton wouldn't have followed him? We can turn this into a butterfly effect discussion if you want to but Occam's razor says, CJL's firing didn't really affect UCF. They are who they are because what they have done.
  11. We would have still been in the AAC Administration would have had the same standards that set back recruiting He is not god or any other all powerful being we would still be here, albeit maybe one more conference championship. But that's debatable as Leavitt had a losing record in the BE Stop bringing up UCF, its just as nonsensical for us to bring them into our business as vise versa
  12. so four or five 8-5 seasons should do it? Do they have to put in a full decade here? I mean, do we not consider the full landscape of college football and realize that we are probably in the same general position with or without CJL? I think the honest answer for some on here is nothing. the bitter ex mentality drives me nuts.
  13. lets not pretend like they haven't dealt away Cy young talent from 90 win teams in the past.....
  14. Not sure why, that decision was made the night before, and he didn't make it.
  15. Just out of curiosity, what does a coach have to do for you to let CJL go?
  16. So just don’t have people talking or find another way. let’s not take this whole UCF approach where no publicity is bad publicity. Where has it gotten Oregon? They are still playing second fiddle to the generic uniform programs.
  17. Well without the exact quotes, it’s hard to say for sure. I thought he was maybe asked about that policy because it was a discussion of how much of Clemsons culture could carry over and what not. I’ll point out that I won’t fully believe it until I see it, but he has talked about staying and committing long term.
  18. I hope it is three and four years. I didn't take his comments to mean it was only a one time thing. For me to do that, I would have to accept that he was going to build a Clemson like program in one year. There only a elite few that can take that stance on transfers. Clemson was built before transfers became popular so who knows what their stance would be if they were building now. I took it as, we have to make USF a brand that people want to buy into from the jump and not leave or get kicked off. When that time comes, you will see a lot less transfers.
  19. those schools seem to do pretty well branding generic uniforms. It's almost like...... In the end, the on field product makes the uniform. Just have to commit to it.
  20. IIRC, he was talking about the culture at Clemson and wanting to build to that. He has been looking at and taking transfers from the jump. • Scott, whose staff hosts a big recruiting weekend starting this evening, acknowledged offensive line is atop his priority list approaching the Feb. 5 signing day and transfer-portal season. Currently, the Bulls have only 10 scholarship linemen, and Scott indicated a handful of them are banged up and could miss some spring practice. “So that’s an immediate need for looking at some transfers that may be able to come in and add some competition and depth to our current room,” Scott said, “and also for some guys out of high school coming in.”
  21. I just started following Turner, I think he has been the best at covering the team this year.
