I can't believe we're about to get Coach Prime. Our recruiting is going to explode. This is going to be awesome. Edit -- Nevermind?

He had a prior arrest for domestic abuse which led to his quitting at MTSU. Seems like once that came to light his buzz fizzled substantially.

This: Also, what's up with Chris Torello sucking up to this guy while contradicting everything he says

When did Battie confirm he was definitely coming back? Not trolling; just curious and hoping for the best.

Agreed, Let them leave. Still gonna be a two-year rebuilding job regardless of who the coach is.

Ok sorry here, don't know if removing Battie's name really changes the argument but: It's going to take at least two years of recruiting to rebuild USF football, regardless of who the coach is. It's already bad enough; now take into account players like Grier transferring out and Horn - who removed all mentions of USF from his bio and whose best friend's Dad, who also transferred out, claims is going to transfer out - likely transferring out, and Boyles graduating. We better settle in.

Hypothetically, What if it wasn't up to who USF athletics wants but rather Deion says, "no thanks, yall are small time, and I want a legit P5 offer, see ya" and Leavitt says, "no thanks, this institution ruined my name and took away my joy in life; thus I never want to coach there again." What do we do then? Might this be the current situation?

It's going to take at least two years of recruiting to rebuild USF football, regardless of who the coach is. It's already bad enough; now take into account players like Grier, Horn (likely), and Battie (maybe) transferring out and Boyles graduating. Better settle in.

I’ll take a double digit winning season and recruiting arguably the greatest QB, RB, and WRs and another all-time leading LB tackler in USF history again please and thank you.

Welcome Coach Chadwell. Best of luck. Please bring in a competent defensive coordinator and recruit hard on defense asap or you will end up being Jeff Scott 2.0.

Just a total tone-deaf tweet by USF athletics.

About that...

Which in-conference game do you think he would get the most hype for? UNC-Charlotte, UAB, or the in-state rivalry game against FAU? Saban? Meyer? Cmon yall…

My sources confirm it's Jim Leavitt. Sources so good, they were three years early.

The announcement will be made today at 8am.

I'm pumped to see what Chadwell does with our kind of athletes on offense. He runs motions I didn't even know were legal, so the guy is pretty innovative and effective. That's exciting. However, the offense was not the issue for us this year. If he comes here, it won't be about his offense but rather how well and how quickly he can recruit great DEFENSIVE talent. It should be all about fixing the defense if you're the next USF coach.

Let's hire Southern Miss's defensive line coach as head coach. He pinky promises to be here a really really long time.

A fake deadline announcement hyped up on TBP?? How crazy.

I mean, the play design is nice though. Can't deny that.

Actually, if these are the kind of option plays coming to the USF offense then I'm all for it! Just hope Chadwell brings in a half-decent D Coordinator...

Based on all the tweets about it being a splash, I'll go ahead and assume it's going to be Chadwell. Not bad I guess? But, I don't know, seems like we have tried the good ole boy nice guy character as head coach a couple of times now, and it hasn't worked. Also, his 2022 recruiting class had 7 enrollees from Florida, but his 2021 had only ONE enrollee from Florida. Does this guy actually have good recruiting connections down here? Shouldn't we focus on hiring someone that can lock the bay area down? Don't know if Chadwell is the guy to do that.

No way Kelly hires this guy to be our HC. Arkansas is ranked as the second worst defense in the SEC. No way he does that…right?

He was arrested for choking his ex-girlfriend in the past. Not ideal PR for VPMK.

It's impossible to have this conversation without mentioning Leavitt or our other coaches. But... Unfortunately, Leavitt jaded some fans into believing that we can find a coach that will stay here even if the Alabamas of the world come calling, but that was because USF football was his baby. However, that is not the post-CJL reality. And no, Leavitt isn't coming back to coach USF. CJS would've probably also left had he found success here to coach somewhere in SEC or southern ACC within the good ole boys club. I mean, even coaches like Fickell - who is Ohio born and raised - is ready to leave Cincy for Wisky even after all the program growth and invite to the P5 that he generated. I know it doesn't sit right to think of your alma mater as a 'stepping stone' school, but that is what USF is to the CFB world once you step away from the USF bubble. However, that is not necessarily a negative thing for the program; we can sustain success in the AAC-CUSA based on our recruiting location alone. The central Florida region is ripe with high school players that are able to beat whatever Tulsa and ECU recruit with natural talent alone, the way that Taggart did it, and the way that UCF has done it 3 coaching changes in. That said, we can either hire an unproven coach like CJS who swears he will be here forever - even though he probably won't - for the sake of 'consistency' (I think we have just seen this is a terrible gamble this is) or we aim to hire someone who is a proven head coach that is openly trying to move up on the world but will probably do well coaching USF while they are here based on prior success. What is the better choice in terms of Ws and Ls?

I swear to G-d Michael Kelly, if you **** us with another Coach Jeff Scott I will personally put up your house for sale.
