And his assistants? Gotta buy them out. His office staff?

If it were only the simple math you make.

I thought we don't pay assistants and that's why they bail.

I hate Patrino but whatever at this point. This is a **** joke.

Don't buy the "we can't afford to fire him" argument.

Fire skip: Pay 500k a year for 4 years.

New coach: 1.25ish million per year

Buyout plus new coach: 1.75m

Savings: 250k

Increased revenue from attendance, renewed interest, etc: Something above zero

We cant afford not to fire him.

Assuming we can get a decent coach... if we hire a no name or untested coach then it might backfire, but at this point I'm afraid this is our best option.

How much is Butch Davis going for? He had to leave UNC under "interesting" circumstances. Could we get a discounted rate?

Leaders have to make tough decisions. This guy (Holtz) is a complete loser and the evidence is in the games this season. How did you like watching that Miami game on Saturday? You are telling me talent-wise that we have dropped that much? A coach that has no idea how to work the game clock? The defensive secondary has to be one of the worst I have seen.

Mission in life? I certainly hope for their sake that getting a football team to play with the right big kids on the block isn't their mission in life. You can hope it's a priority but no one should be making this their mission in life.

U just don't understand how important this is. And not just athletically.

Exactly. This is the turning point for a big source of interest and money.

This is total and complete BS. We should be getting in the ACC talk at least. I agree that these couple of years with Skip/Doug ruining everything along with the lack of a move conference-wise has pretty much sealed the deal.

I thought we had good facilities and a bla bla bla TV market?

The academic snobs that make up the ACC won't add us to the mix

LOL but I thought we were "recruiting the right way" now or something? If we are going to get publicly shamed and bombed back into the stoneage by Miami, I would hope our GPA is at least going up?

The saddest thing about that article is that good hardworking people are leaving while underachieving people get raises.

that is how it works at USF at every level... USF has a leadership/management issue and its because almost all of USF's current leadership/management did not graduate from USF.

We are the only university that does not hire alumni to run the University. If you go to any of the SEC schools their administration is stacked with alumni... here our administration is stacked with alumni from DeVry, Phoneix, and Rasmussen.

As a USF MBA, I would love to nuke this thing and rebuild. It makes me angry to see organizations run so poorly.

I don't get you guys sometimes.

We're getting bitchslapped left and right while in the worst BCS-level conference, and you want to move up to tougher competition and lose even worse.

What we need to do - more than anything else - is ignore the noise, get our own house in order, and win the games on our schedule. Just like Boise and TCU did.

Do that and the conference crap will work itself out. To quote Al Davis, "Just win, baby!"

A-fking-men.....finally someone with some sense.

agreed I'd rather compete at a lower conference than be a doormat in a higher conference.

+1

-1

Being in the bigger conference would generate more buzz, especially if that conference were around us regionally. We would have increased ticket sales at home games and more regional fan travel to away games. It would be like a 'real' program. I think our conference is going to be come a weakness and the bottom will fall out if not already.

Oh also, I don't know that the whole BCS conference thing matters after this year. You want to be in a big conference and set the expectations high. Granted, this is philosophically opposed to what Skip & the gang are up to lately.

Big East is a dying conference and as of right now, USF football is a dying program under Skip Holtz. FIRE SKIP, and get the f*#k out of the Big East.

Can we make this a flag, t-shirt and whatever else?

What a tease!

What a tease!

I kind of feel bad for the fans.

clowns always smile

That's a great quote!

Has nothing to do with our last 2 seasons.

I would like to think that with all of the improvements we put into the facilities etc. Unfortunately, the FB aspect seems to be run by clowns.

It's looking more and more like WHEN, not if, AW doesn't sign.

I thought Floyd settled in, but if AW doesn't sign that would be not cool for us.

I imagine they will do nothing which is the current MO.

This guy is a shmuck with poor clock management and no aggression.

In fairness to Matt they probably have not practiced victory formation much at practice since we have not been using it.

I've watched a lot of football and never seen the victory formation from shot gun

Oddly enough, the Bucs just did it in the Raiders game. LOL!? Maybe it's a new trend...

Crap. My prediction is for B. Petrino to go to either UKentucky or Auburn.....

I was hoping for USF......

They can have him.

I would rather go for Butch Davis, if that's possible.

He should get a 10 year extension now.

Lucky to have a bye week right now...

It was good.

Seems the p a announcer was new. Younger sounding.

There was less stupid music.

Same idiot... he's good friends with the director of bands.... he's not going anywhere.

I knew there had to be some kind of blackmail or personal relationship there.
