Says a lot about Petrino. He has to rebuild whatever rep he had.

. . in the long run?

Un-splashy, but winning seasons. Never quite to the level of THE major program. I hope so.

I respect the hell out of Stanford and they are one of my favorite teams over the last several years, so yes. I like toughness over flash.

Yeah, ask the golden boys of USC what they think of Stanford the last few years.

I know! I remember Gerhardt running up the middle all game on them and they couldn't do anything. Those Stanford vs. USC games were like appointment viewing for me.

Oh and their performance against Oregon this year shows how a real defense can slow down the splash. I hope we get back to those ways in the next couple of years.

Nice little press conference. You can see the enthusiasm and someone that understands what it would mean to build something here.

This is a bummer. I really thought Davis would be THE choice and him coming out and saying he wanted the job kind of confirmed that. Well, time to get behind the new guy...

why is this even a thread..has it ever been mentioned by anyone he is a canidate or anyone from usf is going to reach out to him. He does not seem like an option.

This is exactly why he could be the candidate.

It's strange that there isn't more buzz on Davis. This seems like the #1 hire to me. Are people assuming we can't land this guy?

People are afraid of hiring him due to UNC but he was cleared of any wrong doing by the ncaa. There is no reason to not give him a look.

I'm assuming that since he is already in the same area that a conversation has taken place.

Raheem Morris?

I guess I don't understand the Nutt selection. A Nutt New Era? I don't see this guy being a candidate really. Even if he interviews, I would guess that USF already has an idea of who they want.

My thoughts are: Butch Davis.

I don't mind these except for the FSU one. I am definitely interested in the K-State Oregon one.

Ugh a Petrino mention and a flamingo.

He was a great guy for the community and sent a positive message. It could have been a perfect hire, but there is that pesky conference record.

He is completely a USF offense coach.

I want to get excited by the Defense again. Remember when these supposed offensive juggernauts like WVU would go against us and our D would level the playing field with fundamentals?

I just wanted to chime in and say that when we actually committed to a conventional running attack with our current level of players, it has worked (granted this has only been 1-2 games a year).

I'm glad that Petrino is off the table. That would have been a strange move to make.

We just found the Tampa monkey, and enter the RayJay Racoon.

I don't see how it could be a big mistake. How much worse can it get than rock bottom? Maybe things don't get any better but I can't see it getting worse.

Hmm...

The sideline reporter during the game said Shaw was in an argument with one of the assistant coaches. Then they showed him coming back out of the tunnel a few minutes later escorted by Sterling Griffin and 3 other guys.

Ok thanks for posting, because I didn't get to see the broadcast. We noticed how intense the ESPN guy was on getting the scoop!

not excited about tommy bowden at all. no sons of legends please.

Haha yeah, I think we have met our quota on sons of legends for now!

We are a gimmick right now the worst thing we can do is become a boring pro style offense..WHICH HARDLY ANYONE RUNS IN FLORIDA....and fit our style of players or the offensive lineman we can get...

This may be true. I don't think those teams are boring though. Some people like hard hitting football rather than the basketball on grass.

give up the RECRUITS WELL in florida..ITS ABOUT KIDS WANTING TO SHOWCASE THEIR ABILITY..THEY WANT TO GET STATS AND BE ON TV..we need a high powered spread offense..

MIKE LEACH should be #1 target IMO..

The rest are up and comers WHO KNOW HOW TO THROW TO WIN..

you guys just dont get it sometimes man. Your so traditional.

I think that's winning football though. The only argument I would believe is that we can't get the physical athletes that we need to compete using that technique. Those gimmicky offenses have been great for ESPN buzz, but then a Notre Dame or Stanford defense beats them with a non-buzzworthy offense.

Hem, you are... NOT the fraud!
