How long ago was Jeff Scott fired.  FAU fired Taggart and hired Herman in a matter of days.

Kelly is royally screwing up this search.  He has no one and everyone knows it.  Scott has been gone a month now.  Others are firing, interviewing, and hiring good coaches in 3-4 days.  He fired Scott on Nov. 6th.

He has no one or they would have been hired by now.  He has resorted to begging or settling for third rate candidates. 

Be very prepared to be underwhelmed. This is the most screwed up head coach hiring process ever.  MK sat around on his hands and now he has nothing.  

Tom Allen is a good coach.  He can really coach defense.  It's hard to win at Indiana.  No coach has won there in basically ever. 

That said, if that's who MK comes up with after striking out on Deion and Chadwell, this will seem like a very boring and uninspiring choice.

Can't wait for Mike Kelly to try to sell us on some second rate coach after he struck out on his main candidates.  He'll make some excuses about how this was his guy all along when everyone knows he struck out.  

Other schools are hiring their guy in 3-4 days and we are bumbling away day after day.  End this mess now.

OK so basically nothing has changed since yesterday and we don't really know anything.  Thanks.

OK someone give me the quick rundown.  I've been out most of the day and don't feel like reading through 50 pages of posts.  Is Deion coming and if not, who is coming to be our coach.  Or has basically nothing changed since yesterday.  Thanks.

At this point give Deion a deadline and move on to the next candidate.

He just needs a top 50 class of FL kids and that's enough to dominate the new AAC since Memphis is down right now and SMU has been almost there for a few years but never puts it all together. UTSA looks good but not dominate the new AAC good.

I live in San Antonio, so have seen a fair share of UTSA games.  They legitimately would be at the top of the AAC, along with the likes of Tulane, Cincinnati, and UCF.  But they are also senior heavy.  Their QB and top 3 receivers are all seniors.  I think they could all come back next year for their super senior year, but if they don't then they will probably take a step back.  Their QB Frank Harris is really, really good.

Could anyone succinctly recap the last 48 hours? It seems like nothing has happened while simultaneously everything has happened

Deion may come here, or he may not come here.

The end.

JP Peterson is legit so there was some truth to this rumor.  How much, we don't know, but it's apparent to me that there was some type of communication and negotiation between Deion and USF.  Whether that led to anything or if it is still ongoing can't be determined yet. 

Come on.  Someone break some actual news. 

If Kelly doesn't land Deion now, people are not going to be happy with whoever it is.  Everyone else will seem like a downer.

I don’t buy that Deion was on campus this morning.  JP says he was there at 5:30am but supposedly with his team at JSU at 8:30am

If he were on USF's campus, it makes sense it would be early morning to avoid distractions and being noticed.

JP and I are using the same source. Everything JP said was "accurate" as of this morning. I am saying that there is no chance based upon the text message I just saw. 

It could all be part of the negotiating process.

He has no reason to be posturing with my source. The guy has no connection to USF football or the powers that be and is a really loyal friend to Deion. 

Again.  So what changed in the last 5 minutes to he was 90 percent coming to now not coming.  

3 minutes ago, BullyPulpit said:

And, I just heard from the same source that JP is relying that he is not coming to USF. This all appears to have been posturing by Deion. 

 

So things changed in the last 5 minutes to Deion is coming, just working out the details to Deion is not coming???

What changed.

Will we ever hear from deioniscoming again if Chadwell is hired?

Mcall is bot following him. Why would he risk his last seasom with a 1-11 team that is rebuilding? I feel he goes the P5 route. 

We were 1-11, but on closer inspection, we were right there with some good teams.  There is a serious chance of a major turnaround fast if the defense can get fixed.  The offense will hum next year, regardless of who the coach is, if we can keep both BB's.

100% I wish we played him sooner.  That's the way it goes though.

His redshirt was saved by only playing in 4 games.  There was no point in playing BB earlier.  USF wasn't going to a bowl.

Someone like a Weaver I get, but I don't get the rationale for someone like Willis to hit the portal with his 6 catches.  Number one, he probably burns his bridge at USF, and secondly and most importantly, there is no guarantee he will get an FBS, or even FCS offer anywhere.  I guess he's willing to take that chance.

Personally, I think players should wait to see who the new coach is before going into the portal.  

Why is Willis in the portal.  He may not even get another FBS offer.

Was Weaver on the sidelines during the UCF game.

Give it up, Deion isn't coming here.

Im a Taggart fan, but he use 2 always take his foot off the pedal in the 2nd half. This year he lost 4 games by a combined 9pts or something. 

Completely false.  Taggart like to tack on additional style points.  He specifically scored a late TD vs. UCF in one of our wins.  Go back and look it up.

Mcall only has one year left. So if BB has to sit one year as a true back up thats okay with me. 

You may want that, but does BB want that.

In this day of the transfer portal, no one that is good enough to start has to sit, even one year.  If you are good enough to start, you can transfer somewhere and play immediately.

So while it may benefit USF and fans for BB to sit a year, he does not have to sit a year.  He can play somewhere immediately and start.
