This one feels different to me. There was some enthusiasm for those other guys, but to me this one feels different. Maybe it’s because we’ve fallen so far. I also think a top assistant from arguably the top program in the country feels different than Taggart coming from WKU for example.

I just threw up in my mouth. The Golden Knights....what a horrible mascot and even worse logo.

This was a great interview indeed! Really excited about this new era for Bulls Football. It feels so much different than anything we’ve had in the past. Everyone should listen to this interview.

The dude has some heavy hands. He was throwing bombs every time. I am not too confident his boxing career will go very far, but wish him the best. He was fun to watch when he did play for the Bulls. I wish him luck.

Nice, they should hire you as a consultant.

I said it’s part of the story. I already explained what I think the story is. Long story short...program was on record pace from the jump. We jumped up through conferences, fastest team to 150 wins, huge road wins. Lots of excitement. The excitement went away through a series of bad hires etc. Now we have a new coach, new AD, new excitement. A “story” is what you make of it. We were relevant at one time. We became irrelevant. We are making a commitment towards relevance again.

Exactly...part of the story.

Oh yeah...how do you know how “it works”? What makes you the authority on what’s newsworthy? Just curious.

I think this is right. I also think that talking about coaches and their next moves etc. is “filler” for the announcers. They keep that stuff in their back pockets to talk about in the event that it’s a crappy game or a blow out. They didn’t have much time in that game to talk about anything but the game. It was non-stop action and very fast moving. A great freaking game. Granted, Herbstreit is always going to seem to favor OSU...I think this may be the reason for talk of their DC and not CJS. Perhaps they were going to mention it when they had a chance in down time later in the game. I don’t think that ESPN has an inherent bias against USF in particular. They will uncover every story line imaginable leading up to the National Championship game. I’m sure CJS to USF will be mentioned at some point between now and the conclusion of that game. As I’m typing this I just had a thought.....why can’t Michael Kelly and USF’s marketing team approach/pitch ESPN on making a little piece about the move? If they can present it in a way that ESPN deems interesting and news worthy it would be make sense for them to talk about it. Something along the lines of “USF was once an exciting start up program...mention all of the “firsts” that we accomplished....mention how we’ve struggled to maintain/capitalize/improve upon that early momentum. Talk about the Leavitt, Holtz, Taggart, Strong tenures...and the new found excitement of the CJS hire. If you take a step back and think of the USF football story, it’s actually pretty interesting. ESPN loves this kind of stuff. Kelly is a highly regarded guy in college football. I think that USF should make some calls and pitch the idea of hyping up the move.

I take that back, Clemson D sucks LOL

I hope CJS brings this aggressive, blitzing style D with him too. I know he’s an offensive guy, but I love this aggressive defense of Clemson.

Just go away...honestly.

On the field, they’ve shown him a couple times.

Agreed...glad it went Clemsons way, but I’d be pissed if I were a Buckeye

Love it
