  1. Being blown out by UAB and FAU. Thanksgiving weekend game is Charlotte. Yeah, USF football isn’t fun anymore. It’s misery. Why do coaches struggle here? Not sure. Golesh gets a pass for year one.
  2. Taylor Swift or Kim Kardashian coaching the team would have a similar result. Does that make them a good hire?
  3. Here is actual viewership data from 2015-2019. This shows why UCF got a Big12 invite over USF, more views. Here the ranks from UCF down: UCF (566K) Memphis (564K) Arizona (561K) Kentucky (484K) Boise State (476K) Vanderbilt (438K) Cincinnati (430K) Duke (410K) USF (407K) Boston College (403K) Illinois (401K) Wake Forest (398K) Temple (354K) Kansas (346K) Oregon State (295K) Rutgers (266K) Tulsa (265K) SMU (232K) Colorado State (130K) Fresno State (127K) Wyoming (126K) Air Force (121K) New Mexico (97K) Hawaii (94K) East Carolina (82K) Nevada (80K) San Diego State (63K) UNLV (55K) Tulane (42K) San Jose State (30K) Which college football programs bring in the most TV viewers? | by Zach Miller | Run It Back With Zach | Medium MEDIUM.COM TV viewership isn’t always the best way to measure a college football...
  4. Defense needs work. offense does too, but I think the defense is a bigger concern right now.
  5. One of the worst defensive performances I’ve ever seen. I know the offense didn’t help with the turnovers, but yards are yards… 400 given up in a half?
  6. Defense having a bad game. Giving up 400 yards and 35 points in a half. Pathetic. It’s like they did it even show up.
  7. HA! Sanders Jr wouldn’t be earning that were it not for trying to get his dad to come in as head coach. It’s part of their total compensation package to entice the Sanders to their university. Do you think Deion was only concerned with his salary when looking for his next stop? I’m sure his sons NIL was a big factor in choosing where he and his son would go.
  8. I’m sure a lot of other universities have comparable or worse numbers, they just don’t report them like the tampa sports authority. They also don’t have an annoying reported like Joey.
  9. I always felt 40k was the right size for OCS, that was when we were in the Big East. With attendance trending down, I’m not at all dissatisfied with 35k. A large capacity that’s empty is probably worse. If we did 40+k for the same price, somewhere the level of quality would have to suffer. Dukes stadium doesn’t look so bad, and if you remove the track, you can get the fans closer to the field.
  10. P5s smallest stadiums. 35,000 Is small folks. We’d be one of the smallest in the p5 if we were in it. NCAA college football: The Power 5’s smallest stadiums THELISTWIRE.USATODAY.COM It’s time to flip the typical NCAA stadium list
  11. Without a contract you can’t know if it would raise or lower member shares. Recall new members can take lesser shares or no shares like SMU.
  12. Just because someone is running from something more than they are running to a particular thing, doesn’t mean they aren’t a great hire or addition to a team. But he is right in the importance of being honest and saying joint him and his staff in a losing program and turning it into a winner wouldn’t be easy. Filter for people who want to be there.
  13. One thing I’ve realized is that Vegas lines and other predictions are really for people who don’t watch the teams play. And who has time? Fans are biased too.
  14. This weekly press conference was one of the best, if not the best I’ve ever seen. Really into Golesh’s approach to coaching and to life. Super stoked to see where he takes this team. I think he wins the conference by year 3.
  15. It’s a top 25 job if you make it one. The big thing that becomes hard to turn down is millions. You get USF to a playoff and you will have offers for 2-3x with buyout probably in the tens of millions. You have to really value things money can’t buy, like location, to stay put. And it’s not just the salary. It’s the whole budget, the facilities, the belief you’ll have better athletes and therefore it will be even easier to win (“Hey I did it recruiting SEC and Big10 rejects at G5U, so with better athletes I’ll be unstoppable!”). The only type of coach who isn’t going to jump at more money to a more competitive conference is one who: 1). Isn’t coaching for money. 2). Isn’t coaching for ego and status. Finding any human whose ambition is not driven by either of those things is going to be difficult. They exist, but they’re probably less than 1% of highly “successful” people because their measure of success is some other value and therefore they don’t find themselves in positions that are associated with high status or high compensation.
  16. Bama is definitely down this year and there are no clear standouts in the SEC.
  17. I believe the 1% improvements philosophy. Barely measurable at first then suddenly looking back it’s exponential. As the saying goes, you can accomplish more in a year than you think, and less in a day than you think.
