An all-consuming beast with 7 heads.

I believe PE is for Public Enemy 

As long as ACC keeps the Carolina schools together they should be fine. 

2027 still on track 

Good to see our local media talk up the USF baseball opening.

I imagine  in the near future every team will have an app and you will pay a subscription to watch your team. 

 

Pretty much. I will just continue to go to the games in person if possible. If not will find USF watch parties which are usually great.

Hire her top asst on the cheap, use the savings for FB and MBB coaching extensions. 

 

This is how I prefer to see how successful coaches leaving are handled. It works sometimes but sometimes it doesn’t but at least it saves time & money. If this strategy doesn’t work out then they can always open up a national search. I believe baseball tried to do that after Kingston left. 

Not sure if this helps but pretty cool to see both USF & FSU connections coming together….

That's not good...

....That's not great....

...... That is ELITE!!!

Heck yeah! This reminds me of the USF Bar Crawl coming up in Ybor in August. Basically CAAR got on the mic & stole the show when he said that USF is going to become elite. At the time I believe many of us are just thinking that here is another new coach talking the hype kind of like CJS did at those rallies. Now after his 1st season he pretty much has the fan base sold so I’m looking forward to the next USF Alumni Bar Crawl!

MKs seat isn’t on fire anymore but my memory is longer than the last 9 months. 

Thankfully my memory only recalls the good times. Somehow I already forgot about the CJS years….

Two ways of looking at that. One is your way. The other is that Nick was pizzed off that what he had been doing for years illegally was made legal and allowed the playing field to even out.

Yes I agree that I noticed programs like Bama were the ones that seemed to be against the NIL. Now that I see how much that it has been hurting schools like UF and others in the so called P2 I can see why. Basically those power schools are going to eventually beat each other up on this which is good for schools like USF. As of right now, USF is on the outside looking in so I welcome as much chaos as possible so that the power conference basically fall apart due  to in-fighting. Then USF will be able to jump right in whenever they realize that they need to restructure.

Who is this "they" y'all keep talking about?

They are the bad guys. We are the good guys. We the ones!!

Miami and USF are ready!

 

Caps. Salary Caps for coaches and players, contracts to prevent players from playing for 5 different schools, schools should also honor the NIL deals they enter.

Exactly! When legendary coaches like Saban retire and pretty much state that the NIL is bad for college football then hopefully they do something to fix the issues.

So we should fire Mike Kelly?

Hell no lol. That would go down as one of the dumbest moves in USF history imo. Too much riding on USF & MK right now (OCS & ACC connections).

With all due respect for the last season of football and basketball, we are nowhere near out of the woods or even a relevant program. Let’s let these gents continue their mission before we get to giddy and re-write history.

On a more serious note, this is a good thing about TBP. Unlike Twitter/X silly or outdated posts can’t be removed by the owner, they got to live with it.  Restate, Eat some crow, etc.  Helps develop good all around community posts.

Lol we probably won’t see NovaBull back anytime soon as long as USF continues to win.

Maybe it should be updated to reflect his recent success. How about "Extend MK's contract."

Gotta love TBP.

Looks like we need to reach out to NovaBull to see if he can update the title.

Although not specifically spelled out, the extensions were basically because of the circumstances surrounding Covid so I’m not sure I see it as a management style per se …. unless you’re referring to the way he handled the pandemic unlike others. No C-19, no “continuity” extensions. 

Anyway we can change the title of this thread?

So now that Kelly has fired Coach Mohl, his managing style is becoming more apparent. He extended everybody knowing he would likely fire many of them before seeing the ends of those contracts. It doesn't seem to play a role in his decision making going forward. Just wants the appearance of continuity. 

So paying Brian Gregory $400k for the next 2 years or Mohl or Jeff Scott. On one hand, it appears foolish. But if that lost money is built into your cost of doing business, takes a lot of the pressure off. 

If the donors/school have given Kelly that leeway, makes the extensions make much more sense. 

Kelly appears to have made 4 good hires (Erik Jenkins - Track, Alex Golesh, Shepardson-Volleyball, Amir Abdur Rahim) and 1 bad one (Jeff Scott).

All 14 head coaches under contract through at least 2023.

 

It is good to see MK weather the storm and now seems to have USF moving forward. USF just lost a great women’s golf course to UGA so hopefully they hire someone that can continue the momentum. 

This may be off topic but it really is not off topic. The P2 & NIL basically need to be taken down & restructured for the good of college football imo. So hopefully the P2 continues to over expand and then we continue to see more lawsuits. Gonna get worse before it gets better. Until then I’m gonna continue to just focus on USF.

I would think if the SEC has two footholds in UF and possibly FSU, the B1G may want to have two as well.

Makes it more ideal for travel & recruiting to have at least two Florida schools. They might as well grab two Texas schools while they are at it. Eventually everyone is going to awaken & say how in the heck did we get here!
