Defense is better.   The offense feels Sterlin Gilbert-ish.  

I was at the WVU @ USF game in 2007.  One thing I can remember is the stadium shaking during the Moffitt pick-6.

Was there as well! Remember the place going bat **** crazy after that Moffitt pick six!! Good times.

However, the Kansas game holds a special place for me. That ending definitely took some years off my life.

That Kansas game was a very special game. Both teams played great. There was only one turnover and that was Nate Allen's interception that led to the FG Kick.

Any word on hiring a WR coach? Wonder if that played into Weaver leaving.

NIL and the portal will drive a lot of fans away. How are smaller schools ever going to keep their good players? 

It's going to come down to winning games and playing time.  There will be schools who have an abundance of money for NIL but if a kid is committed to playing and winning  they will transfer to or stay at their "committed" school.

Interesting coaching staff at USF.  Youthful and not diverse.  But we shall see how this plays out.

What going on with Keyshawn Bryant?

whats the story with Keyshawn Bryant?  Would be nice to see what this team is like with him in the line up.

NCAA needs a cap on the NIL deal.  

would like to see more coaching experience on the offensive side of the ball.

While I'm not crazy about the hire (would have rather had Herman)  this may not be a bad hire.  I think he can keep the offense humming (if he can bring in a couple of recievers) and I'm feeling confident BJM will come with him back to USF and fix the defense.  

 

Both are strong recruiters and they have a lot to sell USF on now with the new focus on athletics.

 

 

I am hoping for the BJM (Brian Jean Mary) return

Jim Leavitt as our DC would fun!!!  A Golesh / Leavitt ticket would be fun and could be a winning combination.  

Yes and it would put someone on staff who had a successful tenure as a head coach.  USF is not in the position to have someone learn on the job.  Too much money at stake all around; coach buy-out, stadium, media payouts. NIL, etc.

Playing Fast on offense is pointless when you can stop the opponent.  We just saw this a few years ago in OC Gilbert and a bit under OC Weiss.

Prepare yourselves lol

I know.  My gut tells me USF Football is about to look bad again.  It's like Pimp My Ride and they just return the same care just polished up a bit.  Nothing fancy.  

It's a curious situation now.  If the "sources" are true and USF is no longer in the running for Chadwell nor Sanders then why have they not announced a new HC hire yet?  The rest of the targeted HC (Simmons, Leavitt, etc.)  don't have games so they should have been announced days ago.   Would Kelly hire another coordinator as the HC again? That would be head scratching.

Too wait this long and announce on the opening of the portal and not hire a big name HC is just curious could be bad, could be good, could be creative 

Why is USF punting the ball? (a minute 1:15 in the 2nd Qtr)

This Defense is really bad.  I am amazed that a defense can be this bad in the transfer portal era.

Imagine how much worse we would suck without Battie.

Why do they keep taking Battie out of the game.

We are gonna give up 70 against Tulsa 

The RB is definitely running for 300 tonight.  

The worse part of this game is in order to watch USFs offense I am forced to witness the horrendous defense.  It's definitely self-inflicted torture. 

This standard is awful.   USF football needs a total gut job.  I believe many players will enter the portal instead of participating in this rebuilding process.  

1) USF
2) 31-27
3) Battie
4) Horne
5) 415

They need to play faster, be more aggressive shooting and more aggressive on defense.

Gotta get the Stadium built.

1) Urban Meyers (already lives in area. 

2) Tom Hermen

3) Matt Ruhle

4) Simmons ( FAMU)

5) Kendall Briles

6) Scott Frost (he really recruited well in Fla)

"Desperate times breeds desperate Actions"

A man can dream

Do you think Meyers would be hands off or hands on?

Noticed that but pretty sure what he meant by "getting it right" is somebody who won't leave if/when they have success here ....

USF was not giving Taggart sufficient funds to hire and keep solide defensive coaching staff.  The purse cracked open with Strong then opened up more with Scott.  With as much !oney as Oregon was throwing at Taggart I would have left too.  That's the business as USF did not take care of it at that time. Now USf is paying the cost.  

Curious about you alls thoughts about Tom Herman as Head Coach.

He won at Houston but did not win enough at Texas.  Was the OC at Ohio State during Urban Meyers tenure.  

With him I would want to see a solid DC hire.
