    Really Wanted Coach Strong To Succeed

    Craziest **** thing I will never understand. How they hell did contracts ever get to the point where when you fail you still get rewarded. Wtf man... You're telling me that if a clause is written in that if you suck you dont get paid we won't be able to find a coach?

    Our AD Made a comment about this when he was hired in 2017.

     

    “To me, losing football games is [reason for being] terminated with cause,” he said. “And the protection that coaches are provided with in their contracts to me is ludicrous. I want to be a leader in the industry and how we write our coaches’ contracts moving forward, so that there’s not 100% guaranteed [salary] protection for their contracts.”

    There are numerous examples, but Yurachek made particular reference to former Texas A&M head football coach Kevin Sumlin, who was fired after six years and a 51-26 record.

    Because of a raise and contract extension awarded to him in 2013, Sumlin will still be paid the $10.4 million he would have been paid if he hadn’t been fired by the university, according to his employment contract.

    “Coaches deserve some protection,” Yurachek said Wednesday. “The expectations they face are so high, especially in our league and in other Power 5 leagues. But for Kevin Sumlin to get paid 100% of his contract at $10 million, I think that was a mistake. Now, I’m not at Texas A&M and I know we compete against them in our conference and they’ll probably hold that against me, but that is a mistake in our industry.”

    Please Don't take this as a troll.  As several of you guys know, i'm a hog fan first but I've been rooting for usf since day 1. My sister (no pics) graduated from usf in 2002. I signed up on this board when usf hired stan heath and tried to warn you guys. Ever since then usf/arkansas has had several connections. (Sister is an alum,Stan heath, skip holtz, Charlie Strong)

    Charlie Strong and I are from the same town. I know his family somewhat its a small town around 11k people. Back in Feb/March? 2019 Charlie came back to batesville for a meet and greet. He talked about his upbringing, his coaching jobs who helped him along the way ect ect. Talked about usf. His family was there and other than his family, I was the only one wearing my USF Shirt. I was able to get a pic with him and he acted suprised when I said lets do a horns up pic. (the last two coaches i've had a pic with has been fired. Not saying i'm a jinx. Mike Anderson-arkansas Charlie Strong-usf)

    Fast Forward to a few weeks ago. I was trying to reset my password and Brad finally got around to helping me get it reset. I was going to make a topic here for you guys. It was "favorite college team" for a day here for the local schools during homecoming week. My preschool son and my kindergartner had the choice between Arkansas Shirt or usf shirt. We went ahead with the usf shirt because arkansas football is on life support.

    Finally, Yes I will always root for usf. USF has always been my 2nd favorite team. Sorry for making this so long.

     

     

     

    Is It Safe To Say The USF Basketball Program Isn't Paying Players

    FBI wiretaps intercepted telephone conversations between Arizona coach Sean Miller and Christian Dawkins, a key figure in the FBI's investigation into college basketball corruption, in which Miller discussed paying $100,000 to ensure star freshman DeAndre Ayton signed with the Wildcats, sources familiar with the government's evidence told ESPN.

    If Sean Miller is found to have violated NCAA rules, not only would he lose his job, but, per his contract, he’d have to pay Arizona up to $300,000 in damages related to the case

     

    Coaching Dominoes Are Starting To Fall

    Sonny Dykes is an "Air Raid" disciple. Coached under Hal Mumme. Was with Mike Leach at Texas Tech, was co-OC with Dana Holgorsen. Then took Tony Franklin with him to La Tech and then to Cal. Tony Franklin then left him in 2015 to take the OC job at Middle Tennessee State. I suspect he wasn't the play caller. 

    The Air Raid is a lot of fun to watch but I can't say it has been successful. Mike Leach seems to have to have done the best with it. It always seems to go hand in hand with zero defense so the final scores are always like 58-55. 

    Son of Spike Dykes so the only positive I would give the hire for SMU is he is a Texas guy. 

    Find it odd that dykes is going to coach the bowl game for smu. The bowl is in 8 days and you have early signing day.
