    Where is the pressure? The higher profile jobs pay you much more when you fail.

    Bingo and for me I would also add that I'm always intrigued of how you build a team psychologically and so the idea of a player leaving and then coming back and that locker room dynamic and weighing that against just taking the best talent is an interesting discussion.

    In your example was your company short staffed and struggling immensely when he left, and then suddenly better staffed and operating much better when he wanted to come back? Was that guy really the BEST employee or just top producer at an underperforming company (with respect to your company - just hypothetical) etc. Just trying to put some context in to your example. Im good with whatever coach thinks here. The NIL and transfer portal stuff is new and this is the one opportunity for coach to build this team. So I find no need for blame, hard feelings or any of that.

    In this day and age it's a legitimate concern as we all adjust to the new college football. But he is out there playing super hard and leading THIS team. He doesn't look like someone who is trying to leave. Similar to a coach leaving for a bigger check or a player getting injured on the field, it would suck but it happens.

    we also beat two "P5" teams with winning records and were 1 win away from bowl ineligible and in any case we went to a conference that had lost its top two programs and another that was consistently top half of the conference. 2005 is a good example of beating one good team and calling it a season.

    Houston wasn't very good anyway, Cincinnati lost some key players and coach, and UCF under Malzahn was already on the path the mediocrity. So add the tougher schedule and it tracks. In year one you can't expect all the improvements that the money and recruiting/exposure would bring.

    Yea, basically. It's not that a team isn't good it's just a different beast to do it every week over the course of the season facing injuries, depth, most teams play poorly at some point, etc against strong opponents every week

    B-. Everything is ultimately on Golesh and those losses really stink looking back and seeing how beatable those teams were. That said, I take those games as the ultimate example of how deep the psychology of winning and losing runs in a program and the attitude that Golesh had and still needs to purge from the team.

    Against this USF defense?
  10. slowdown
    how drunk is the production crew
  11. slowdown
    good God. just run it up the middle hahaha
  12. slowdown
    hmm I hate to complain about getting points on the last drive of the half after starting at our 1 so i guess ill just say that was better than one of those Holtz end of half FG's to bring us to within 25 points.
  13. slowdown
    I don't see our offense being able to score every possession. We have to figure something out on D
  14. slowdown
    Yep, these university's(athletic departments) bringing in 3-5x the revenue of USF are going to keeping building and/or upgrading facilities. If things go our way for a couple decades we might be able to slow the growth of the gap.

    2 weeks of game preparation is like an extra ~14% depending on how you want to do your make believe math
  16. slowdown
    To be fair the ones who are moving to a higher profile school would probably sit out and the underachievers don't practice hard anyways. So we are talking about like 1 player that matters
  17. slowdown
    Definitely hoping that turning this game around got some confidence back. We need the bowl game + extra practices so bad
  18. slowdown
    hard to wrap your ahead around how awful we are at everything on defense
  19. slowdown
    When you get your ass kicked like we did, your supposed to put in the backups and run the ball to run the clock out. We didn't. We were throwing it with our starters. The onsides kick or an aggressive call has always been the response. No issue with it.
  20. slowdown
    Yes exactly. I didn't buy this was a great defense or a team that was going to win out two weeks ago but they were playing hard and looked like they could give you something worth watching every week. The effort the last two weeks really makes you want to find anything else to do besides watch.
  21. slowdown
    Wright runs so dang hard when not being gang tackled 3 yard behind the LOS
  22. slowdown
    we had one turnover where we gave them the ball at their own 16, and they turned it back over. turnovers are never good but i dont see them as a big story of this game so far.
  23. slowdown
    wow I didn't think we had a particularly good defense 8 days ago but everything that I thought was improving is undone.
  24. slowdown
    really sucks seeing so so WR's look like Megatron against us every week and our WRs killing us this game.
  25. slowdown
    the delay of game penalty was wanted. no reason not to line up and see if they jump.
