And some people argue we should keep Jeff Scott as head coach.

Marsh = Pat Julmiste. Put Brown in. **** it.

Ok, 4 minutes, two timeouts, losing to a **** team. Let’s all see Jeff Scott’s time management ability.

Death. Taxes. USF defensive players trying to arm tackle.

ESPN already predicting the future. They’ve seen enough.

Breaking: Marsh is not that good. At this point put Byrum Brown in and let’s get the future going.

Having the over, seeing Temple run to the line on a 4th down was nerveracking. TG for that false start. Lets go points!

Covid crowds were larger

We are too talented on offense to lose this game. Our defense is putrid though. Smash the over if you gamble.

The worst thing that has happened to CJS - besides not winning - is the fact that USF football has proven in past examples that it doesn’t take an eternity to build a competitive team with our program if done right. Regardless of those that say “we don’t have a winning culture,” CJL was able to build literary from nothing to a competitive BCS team - with no OCS, IPF, mass financial support, etc. - while only have two losing seasons in 13 years. CWT also came in to incredibly similar circumstances to CJS - a downward spiral of a once good team - to build a competitive double-digit win ranked football team through basically recruiting alone starting year 3. Had the examples of CJL and CWT never happened, then maybe the fanbase would be satisfied with being perpetual losers with no hope, but history has shown that is not the case. The football team under CJS, though he’s a nice guy, just seems like it has no hope. Did some fans in the prediction contest actually pick Temple to beat us? Worst of all, it might actually happen - year 3 into a coaching tenure. To think there isn’t a head coach in the lower levels willing to move to Tampa Bay and lead USF to moderate success the way CJS has shown he is unable to do is shortsighted.

If CJS is able to turn around his fortunes into a winning head football coach, it might be the greatest turnaround in sports history, and Michael Kelly will seem like a genius. But just because someone is a nice guy, doesn't mean they're a good head coach. How does it go...'you are what your record says you are.'

1) USF 2) 34-14 3) Battie 4) Weaver 5) 300

Sad to hear this, but I don't blame you. I hope things are able to turn around so that athletics is able to maintain contributors of your level. Would be detrimental to lose that kind of support in large numbers.

What, you mean like win 2 whole FBS games in three years against a team not named Temple? Dude, lower your expectations. To expect a head coach to be able to put together a relatively competitive FBS team in the AAC in three years while recruiting talent to come play D1 football and receive an education at a research-heavy pre-eminent state university located in Tampa Bay is unreasonable. It's not like we're located in a hotbed for high school football like Tulsa, Oklahoma or Greenville, N.C. So what if Taggart was able to do it in 2.5 years, it probably is something impossible to do ever again. If you think otherwise, you probably hate USF football and want it to fail. These conversations are for real fans only. Also, the emperor's skin-colored robe looks awesome on him.

I mean, I think VPMK is doing that on his own apparently.

It is impressive how VPMK is able to raise money with how historically bad the bball team was offensively, the putrid state of the vball team, and how embarrassing the football team has been the last 2.5 years. Gotta acknowledge his talent.

Careful, these kinds of statements now generate reprimand.

1) Houston 2) 42-21 3) Battie 4) Weaver 5) 350

You're saying the quiet part out loud.

Ok so if 4 of USF most important teams (including the top two) are having/had historically bad seasons - according to Dave, maybe things have gotten better in the last two weeks? Idk. Definitely not for football - then does that not mean USF athletics is having a historically bad year? INB4 - “What makes football and men’s bball so important??? That’s subjective.” If you argue that I’m done.

Hey @Dave_Glaser, you're a liar.

College football coaching buzz - Hot seat chatter, ranking open Power 5 jobs, plus top assistants Will Healy is out at Charlotte. Illinois defensive coordinator Ryan Walters... “Jeff Scott, South Florida: The Bulls fell to 1-6 after last week's 14-point home loss to Tulane, one of the nation's most improved teams. South Florida has shown a bit more zest on offense, but its defense simply can't stop opponents on a consistent basis. Scott's record sits at an unsightly 4-24 (1-17 in AAC play). The team still has three road games left, plus the home finale against 5-1 UCF. It's hard to see things turning around for Scott, or any path back for him in 2023.” Lol, and yet…

Nailed it. The buck stops at VPMK and his hiring decision-making. As another poster pointed out, USF athetics as a whole - sans W BBall - is having a historically bad year and all the coaches got extended. Just makes you scratch your head in disbelief.

As Cardale Jones once said…

I appreciate your will to constantly defend USF football in the worst of times - and for some reason take everything personal - but my statement is not inaccurate. The Ga Tech line is only one of the few more lopsided money lines besides ours. Others are Nevada, MSU (playing #4 Michigan), and UF (playing #1 Georgia). So again, when considering there are 100+ FBS teams, there are not many bets like the USF moneyline this weekend against an average Houston team.
