Is it bad that I'm not sitting up nights worrying about whether Marshall likes USF, or whether or not Woolard (that's the correct spelling, kids) is moving fast enough to appease the folks who have nothing better to do than surf the web 24/7?  Or, worse, that I confidently accept the situation we're in and know that we've got proven leadership that will do everything they can to right the ship?

Fact is, guys, the USF Men's Basketball Program and it's Head Coaching Vacancy is what it is.  No amount of spin, wishing, rubbing magic lamps, voodoo, money, or message board ******** is going to bring a coach here if he doesn't want to enter the situation.  Personally?  I don't want a coach not up to the challenge, regardless of whether his name is Marshall, Doherty, Auerbach, or Jesus Christ.

I don't know... i think i'd take Jesus Christ as my coach in a heartbeat, even if he didn't give his all, we'd still go 34-0 every year, and never miss a free throw.  And we'd beat down Duke Blue Devils every year, just out of principle.  

I don't know, man, Jesus Christ never had the size to take on the big men under the net.  Plus, his team would get called for Walking (on water) every game...

*Badda bing!*

Thank you, I'll be here all week, tip your waitress.

Jesus wouldn't have to take on big men under the net... he'd be the coach, not the power forward... although i don't doubt he coudl do that too, if he'd be willing to don some Nike's instead of sandals.

Jesus would only have to motivate the players (should be the best at that) ,

and scream obsenities at the ref... that might be the sticking point.

We probably tie against the catholic schools

My son and I "designed" an autograph book for the Spring Game and FAD.  Honestly, it was his idea and work using Photoshop.

Will the latest buzz about spring football, I am curious what the past was like compared to today. We've got a 5 star FR RB, a SO QB on one heisman watch list, and a defense that would make Jack Bauer shart. Since I'm not only new to the school, but to the area too, what was it like last year or 3 years ago?

I saw a 12 year old boy wearing a bulls hat at RayJay today and noticed several more people with bulls gear. I know there is a buzz but how does it compare?

Anyone have any season ticket sales numbers? What would be an improvement in that dept?

I'm sure glad I didn't get here too late.

Hey buzz kill, I was trying to be optimistic, not realistic.

BaseBulls will never win in Omaha...........see how it feels?

What I meant by investment was more along the lines of 3 or so years from now when Matt wins the heisman and goes in the first round, and fans are buzzing you will have a nice established site and a lot of self satisfaction.

I've directed many of my friends from WA State to the site and they are amazed.

JoeB, what were you saying yesterday? Something about the high scoring game like in the beginning of the season? Just wanted to rub that in again.

PS...USA beat Equador at RJS 3-1. Landon Donovan had a hat trick with 2 goals 30 seconds apart.

Great site. Not much activity in the forum but I'm sure this is more of a long term investment?

LOVE the PITT highlights. I have to watch them every time I check out the page.

Not a lot of feedback here, but your hardwork isn't going unnoticed I'm sure

I did it...whatever Athlon is...

Notice it's only the loser schools with a huge number of votes

he needs to do it against auburn,rutgers and louisville

?????????????????????

Rutgers will be NOBODY next year

Louisville is questionable with the coach change and personnel losses.

Keep telling yourself that. I'm glad you're not CJL

Who cares what the tinmen say.

USF will beat UCF in handcuffs and attached to a ball and chain.

Way to go!

What are the big east standings?

The timeline, I would imagine, would depend on when we get the donations secured.  I know that there is a plan to make several improvements in the softball and football practice fields with funds received from donations in the short run.

Rest assured that LRS, CLP and Tino are working at getting something lined up.  Can't help but wonder how the Tino/Yankees/Steinbrenner relationship will play into it.

They could come up with the funding just by searching through the couch cushins.

Where is the team from early in the year that put up the huge numbers?

Yeah, I sure do miss those high scoring games

Still in the ^ of the 7th?

Really appreciate your updates JoeB

Coach K...go away

Glad to hear. If he can keep this up for another couple of years while maintaining elusiveness, he'll be....umm, WOW!

It not easy to gain 15 lbs of muscle AND put 40lbs on the bench AND run a 4.6 40.

Thank god for N-Large.

Being that you're all apologists and all, you need to realize that he's 1 for 3 in the accuracy department on his latest blogs. Since he changed the last blog, it's not as apparent.

I can appreciate hardwork but proper research and dedication need to go hand-in-hand in journalism.

Alright! I'll let my contacts at ESPN know... HEY _EI, YOU OUT THERE?

Dear Brads blog,

What is the latest on Noel Devine coming to USF? I heard from a local source that he and Mike Ford are going to share carries. Any truth to that?

Signed,

 Jack Bauer wouldn't be able to crack me this way.

Doubt that. If we all lived life the way Jack Bauer lived life, we'd have Coach K during from back in his prime

No Marshall in plan for USF

From what I’m hearing Winthrop coach Gregg Marshall has informed University of South Florida athletic director Doug Woolard to remove his name from consideration for the USF job.

After meeting with Woolard Tuesday in Rock Hill, S.C., Marshall had been targeted to become USF’s next coach. However, Marshall is expected to receive a new 10-year deal to remain at Winthrop, where he has led the Eagles to seven NCAA Tournaments in nine seasons.

Marshall, VCU’s Anthony Grant and UMass’ Travis Ford are among the candidates that USF has pursued that are not interested in the position.

The question now is: where should USF turn next?

__________________________________________________________

Who's next?

It's hard not to question the credibility of this. I know reporters can't be perfect but there is a blog 2 stories below this stating that Palphrey turned down the USF job (which is untrue). I know Brett acknowledged his mistake but only under the comments section - which I hardly bother to read.

No offense to Brett but I hope he's wrong. It's pretty discouraging readin about people in my top 5 turn down the job.

BS!

Gillien wanted that job.

"Interviewed out of respect for Dickie V."

Do you really believe that garbage..?

He wants the job or he wouldn't have interviewed for it.

I love people spewing garbage to cover for their ego in case they don't get it.

"Doesn't really want the job and inteviewed out of respect for Dickie V.."  

HA!

what a bunch of freakin bull.

Do you really want Gillen?

Just because he wants the job doesn't make him the right choice.  Heck, i'd love the job... but if you thought mac was bad... watch out  

I'd prefer Pelphry, Lowery, OR Marshall over Gillen.

I agree. I think the three mentioned above are better "fits" for our program over Gillen.

But USF should hire me over you, I'll even take a class on coaching.
