Under Scott, USF has not and does not have an identity. Under Leavitt it was a defensive oriented team that offensively wanted to run the ball. Under Taggart it was an offensive oriented team that would out score the opponent, with the exception when Tom Allen was defensive coordinator. Even Holtz and Strong teams had identities, offensive and defensive respectively. One can also see the quantitative results by the number of players drafted and game metrics during each coaches tenure. Leavitt had many defensive players draft, Taggart more offensive players.
But under Scott I don't see a strong offensive identity nor a defensive identity. On offense does USF want to run the ball by getting the fast guy in space like Taggart? On defense does USF want to take away the run and rely on 1:1 coverage? Over the last few years I can not tell what identity Scott is going for other than good culture and good recruits. Those two things a great assets but they will not win games alone.
