Look, I have an incredible level of respect for what CCS has endured in both life and his profession. He deserved a HC gig 3-5 years earlier than he ever got one. He is a class act as a private citizen and in the community.
Also though, he is an unbelievably incompetent head football coach who was skating through his first year and a half on upperclassmen outperforming inferior competion and/or going rogue. He is actively harming our program. We only have one shot left at realignment. We need to decide if we want a chair when the music stops, or if we're going to make believe that conference presidents/TV execs will reward us with a spot for turning our HC position into a charity gig.
Perceptions are fleeting. Baylor has been garbage, terrific and garbage again. UCF has gone winless twice. Both in the last decade. If we let CCS flounder our program for two more years because 'that's just how it's done' and pseudo concern about candidates being scared off, we're going to regret it forever.
