Not a twitter expert here but I think if you go back in time and look at old tweets it shows your current profile picture. Just like here actually.

For a minute I thought you hacked my daughter's Instagram account with these quotes, then I noticed there were fewer puppies.

Raving Fans: A Revolutionary Approach to Customer Service LOL, I had to google it but yea I guess if people who call into customer service lines are raving fans because you are so good and then you leave and take your star employees with you - that would fit. I stand corrected.

Yea they should be and probably are. They are fans no? Fans are not rational last time I checked. Maybe that is our problem these days idk. As for you, I don't know your situation. People generally are not fans in professional settings. Do you have fans? Maybe some of your previous company's fans are mad at you and see you in the same light. If you don't have fans then you are likely in a different boat.

Move it where? There are other boards on this forum?

I have not read this entire thread or all of @puc86 's comments, but the ones I have read seem pretty factual. He did mention something about being a bulls fan (short for fanatic) so it makes sense he looks at things through the lens of what is best for USF. Looking through that lens I appreciate what he did for the program but he could have left and been more gracious in interviews about USF after leaving. One could debate whether he should have stolen our recruits or tried to get CCS as his DC. He did those things for his career but should I, as a fan, be happy about it? xCWT has a sckechy record that can be You don't have to he a hater to get pissed at some of the things he has done since leaving. It certainly shouldn't preclude you from procreating.

Just out of curiosity what two teams were those? We got trounced by McNeese but surely there were worse loses by FBS to FCS.

Do you know the man??? 4. "It is easier top climb than to hang on."

In all honestly, I enjoyed hearing about the loss. I am not sure why. I guess, he said some crappy things in the press a few weeks ago that seem to indicate that he harbored some resentment towards USF. If that is the way he feels about us then seeing him stumble gives me some petty spiteful pleasure. He also tried to take CCS and a bunch of our recruits when he left. He has every right to do that but I am a USF fan and I have a right to be pissed about it. I think Taggart is a heck of a recruiter and he was able to recruit well at USF giving us a significant talent advantage over our fellow AAC brethren. I think it covered up many his flaws in coaching. I do not think we will have the same separation in talent in the ACC. I guess over the likes of Wake and Duke but Clemson, Miami, VT and the yearly game with UF will require him to be a great game day coach. I am not sure he has demonstrated that before.

It wasn't a consensus...I am not sure if I should be trouble by that or happy that someone almost as good is waiting in the wings. Also, to me "maturity" is a code word for doesn't fail a bunch of classes. I think that really hurt Kean.

But we were the worst 28-6 team ever. I learned that here.

Fair enough, I was just building off michibull's point. I am happy that we picked the best QB to fit their system. We will have a better idea on Saturday.

I think this makes a lot of sense. We always seem to have access to dual threat QB's and perhaps rely of them due to OL troubles we have. My memory might be fuzzy but I believe our last two HC's preferred pocket passing and even tried to convert the talent we had to fit that scheme to no avail. It seems that now that we have a so called pocket passer Gilbert will get to implement the system he wants. That does not say the BK or CO were not solid passers from the pocket. I really haven't seen enough to know their strengths and weaknesses. My only knock on Kean was that he did not seem to provide a spark on the few occasions he was in the game. Someone compared his HC career to Grothe or something but Grothe was special the moment he stepped on the field.

LOL, for me and probably others on the boards it does not seem like that long ago. While you were avoiding getting nutsacked these boards were much like they are today, filled wit crotchety old men hanging on every word of David Glaser while he drove across state to Cornelius's signing ceremony where he pulled out an UF cap.

Deceptively fast. Some of those guys had a decent angle on him and he trucked on by. I'm really just glad he is not a tree. Looks like he is not afraid to pull the ball down once in a while. Everyone is referring to him as a pocket passer, which he is, but the kid is an athlete I'll give him that. thanks I was a Chris O fan but I'm pretty excited about this kid. The dude is a 5 start QB, something we've never come close to in the past. I'm old enough to remember striking out again and again on guys like Cornelius Ingrim and Brent Schaeffer only to have to settle for Pat Julmiste. Carlton Williams and Ford were phenomenal athletes but there were reasons they fell to us in those days. That was true for many of our star players back then. They all had something going on, whether grades or possibly work ethics that the bigs picked up on and passed on them. What is our biggest knock against this guy? He got beat out at Alabama by Jalen Hurt? Umm ok, I can live with that.

What he said is true but I am not sure how necessary it was to say it. If it was Doug or Judy I see his point but put it in context, who asked him that question, some starry eyed fan at his first press conference? Some provocative A-hole reported trying to get a soundbite? I would rather FSU struggle because their fans annoyed me a few years ago in the stands. I just like to think of those people crying in their beers once in a while. I am petty that way but that is what fans do I think. xCWT has no interest to me anymore. People here asked what he as accomplished, has he ever coached a team that was #2? Has he one a championship or a bowl as HC? Those are fair questions after a quote like this. I mean pointing things like that is only the "truth" right? That being said, he did turn around WKU and USF and that is pretty impressive. The question still remains is has he learned enough to take a program to the next level? Will the fans give him enough time to accomplish his rebuilding? FSU will want to win now, they are not as much as a rebuilding effort that he excels at. It is a good test, of which I have almost no interest in the outcome.

I have really only seen Kean (and I am sorry but he reminds me of Bench) so how would you compare and contrast Brett with the other two?

Is someone making the argument that Urban's wife received a text message like that and did not share it with Urban? I go to movies when I want to suspend disbelief to that level. Personally, I am not sure how much responsibility Urban has in this situation but it was likely in his contract. The stuff that happened at Penn state and the way people knew about what was going on and did nothing has driven a lot of this. He is getting paid a lot of money, he has a lot of power and he is one of the most visible faces of the university. With that comes certain responsibility I suppose and they are innumerated in his contract.

This all stems from what happened at Penn State so I assume they all have it in their clauses now to report any kind of abuse involving their staff.

I came across this article a couple of days ago and was wondering what folks thought about the viability of Florida Poly The article outlines a tragic story where they are cutting resources (in this case the only mental health resource) for some reason "Since the end of the spring semester, the university has laid off a string of employees, citing organizational changes. But faculty union members insist the cuts largely target employees who’ve spoken up about ethical issues and other problems." It just got me thinking about their viability. Does anyone know ow they are doing? To keep this relevant for the athletic forum, if they were to survive they would be even closer than UCF and twice the acrimony.

Yea, we need a place to hold practices and lift weights.

I am pretty sure mine stems from a missed summer class as well. Rutgers had something everyone referred to as the "RU Screw" and they definitely would put a big fat F on your transcripts and make it impossible to do anything about. Basically they liked to screw you over as much as possible, I have no idea why. USF was not at all like that plus the girls were much prettier. Being married I didn't notice any of that of course, its just something I heard.

Originally I have not read much into this. For me it would be - 4. If a 5 star at any position wants to come here you take him. Especially if he can contribute right away. With all the business going on with Kean I think this was a great move for CCS to bring this guy in. I don't necessarily thing we have nothing to get excited about at the QB position before this move. I think we have unknowns and coaches like to minimize risk.
