And 2027 will put us in our mid to upper 70s.  So I'll repeat something I've said before. I hope to live long enough to see it. 

Is our lease up at Ray Jay in 25 or 26? If 25 how much will they **** us on the rent for that extra year or do we move to Corbett?

I read that the lease can be extended at RayJay through 2027.

Nice! Yea, I'm sure those massive stadiums are crazy to attend. Was just curious as he's been to a **** ton of stadiums.

I guess we need a new poll. Who has been to the most stadiums and what's your favorite. I really haven't been to many football so I'd have to go with Bristol .

I've been to UF and wasn't impressed. I though FSU was actually nicer but i also was in good seats and not sweltering.

The tailgating in Ann Arbor was absolutely incredible, way better than any tailgate I have been to in Gainesville or Tallahassee. They do it right in Ann Arbor. Maybe in about 150 years USF can get up to that level

What is favorite?

You didn’t ask me but my personal favorite is the Big House in Ann Arbor. I have never felt the energy at a college football game like I felt at a Michigan/Iowa game in the early 2000’s. The tailgating was the best I have ever experienced as well.

It looks great!  That Champions Walk looks like its going to be really nice.

well only 18 more games at RayJay.

And i just realized that I will be 51 when this thing finally opens. Yikes.

Losing to UAB and FAU negated any p5 interest. My friend that played oline at Houston says Herman maybe coming back to Houston.

Agreed. Imagine having to sell Golesh to your big donors at this time with those two losses on the resume and a .500 record.  Right now I am still predicting that Golesh mirrors Willie Taggart and stays four seasons. 

Golesh isn’t leaving. He hasn’t done enough to be a P5 coaching candidate at this point.

Money talks and the G5 is minor-league college football. I hope he stays but wouldn’t be surprised in the least if he transfers to the P5. 

Weaver and Horn transfer out of USF after never making a bowl with the Bulls……and are staying home for bowl season

Among the Mountain West teams that absolutely nobody in USF fandom will care that we're playing:

UNLV

San Jose State

Wyoming

Utah State

New Mexico

Hawaii

Nevada

Arguably Colorado State (could throw them in the "Maybe if they're good that year" category)

 

Air Force (for the military factor and that's it) and Boise State would be a draw. Fresno State and San Diego State would be in the category of "Maybe if they're good that year". Nobody in USF's fandom is getting excited to play the current 3-8 San Diego State. I think you're overestimating, just a tad, how excited anybody in our fanbase would be to play those teams. Also, while the diehards would be like "Hey cool, we're playing Wazzou and the Beavs", those teams are still not bringing out the casuals unless they've got Heisman candidates in tow.

I would love it if we played UNLV. The road trips to Las Vegas would be epic. 

He sucks. I wonder if Golesh will fire him in the off-season

I understand the concept of giving coaches a few years to get things right, but what’s the rule for defensive coordinators?

If our defense is worse than it was last year, how long do we give this guy a chance for?

Well according to Golesh he is the best defensive coordinator in the country so probably four or five more seasons

Byrum Brown is not a stud. He is ok at times but he isn't anything special. I stand by this.

I doubt we have to worry about a P5 team poaching him anytime soon

I will give CAG next season to see if he progresses. I see what he wants to do on offense but he doesn’t really it won’t work with right tools 

He will get next season and then 2025 before he and MK are shitcanned together in a massive house cleaning before the OCS opens. 

I wonder if Hudanick is out of a job after this season. What a bad hire that has turned out to be

Each quarter that goes by I lose more and more faith in CAG

I am not mad at him. I am mad at the guy that hired him.

No curses! Just bad AD hires and bad coaching hires.

Very true.

We lack talent definitely but not sold on the OC and DC we have. Seen little to no adjustments made these last games. Effort is definitely worse these last 2 games which is very troubling. 

The offense or lack of one in first half is a big part of why this team has sucked...ultra fast 3 and outs will kill any defense. 

I think most people's frustration isn't Golesh but Kelly in hiring not an established HC but another first time hc. So we gotta go thru this all over again with a new coach.

Meanwhile FAU is pulling away from USF.

Well said. My frustration right now is one hundred percent with Kelly.

USF CAG won’t be getting hired away from bigger programs anytime soon. Hopefully he can get this program on track to winning next season.

Right now he is on the track to being out of a job by the time the OCS opens. Good thing for him is that he still has plenty of time to change that trajectory 

Time for Kelly to start being held accountable for his coaching hires

For the love of God fire, Michael Kelly

Won’t happen until Golesh gets his three seasons to right the ship.

They should have fired him before this hire 

Agreed. However I think he is being kept around for the OCS

Just now, stonedonkey said:

At what point does Kelly get canned.. it's just an endless string of absolute crap for years...

If Golesh flames out in Jeff Scott like fashion, I am of the opinion that MK won’t be hiring the next coach. Golesh will get three seasons though.

Every coach says that. What’s he supposed to say “He’s the only dumbass who wants this job?”

Lots of ways to pump up your new hire without calling him the best in the country.
