That place looks killer. I’d be on board with this.

No worries about the UCF/USF mix up. It happens several times every ESPN telecast. Hopefully Jeff Scott builds this program to the point is doesn’t happen anymore. A lot of people on here are salty and jaded. Understandably so in a lot of ways, but I’m not going to pile on a Clemson fan that takes the time to shed some light on our new coach. So take those comments with a grain of salt. Our program, U.S.F., has not done much to distinguish ourselves in the last 10-12 years so there is nobody to blame but ourselves. That said, the Mike Kelly/Jeff Scott tandem definitely feels like that’s all about to change. I think it’s cool that our programs are linked now. I’ve always liked Clemson, particularly after Dabo took over. Welcome to “The Pen”

This will never get old. I love how after the nut blast he gets knocked on his arse. So good!

This is a bold move to cut every single coach. It’s hard to imagine that Shaun King would not have been an asset to CJS on this new staff. I’d like to know if he even interviewed any of them? Or was it part of Kelly’s plan to wipe them all out?

Ha...no shortage of buzz killers in The Bulls Pen.

Fair enough. I take everything I said back. I’m no longer excited about the hire.

This really stood out to me as well and added to the excitement. The guy is clearly held in very high regard and the support from his fellow coaches and Clemson fans is frankly like nothing I’ve ever seen. It’s beyond a breath of fresh air. Plus, this guy is a COACH. He’s an ace recruiter. We have not had anyone like this guy before (CJL is in a class of his own as the father of the program so I won’t include him in the last comment). But this one does absolutely feel different. Michael Kelley has a lot to do with it as well. I’ve been pretty vocal here, although I’m not a “regular” poster...but I’ve been voicing my concern about the state of USF Football. Everything about this hire, at this time feels right. The relationship with the program to Jeff Vinik etc....it just seems like we are about to take the next step to where Leavitt got us to....Holtz, Taggart, and Strong were just space takers in the grand scheme of things. It feels like we are at the beginning stages of building upon the momentum that has been missing for a long, long time. GO BULLS!!!!

Yes...because I do LMAO

Big ups to the Clemson fans and thanks for the support. Like others have said, we will take all the support we can get. I’ve been rooting for Clemson when I have seen them play in recent years. I really like Dabo and the whole vibe of that program. I’ll be rooting for CJS and the Tigers in the playoffs. It can only help us in recruiting...like someone else mentioned...on TV they will be saying “there is the next coach of the USF Bulls” that can only help us. GO BULLS! Go Tigers!

If only was able to walk into our stadium. How sweet would that be?

He is getting A LOT of love on Twitter from Clemson fans! Man, I hope this is the guy!!!

I’m not a fan of head coaches calling plays. I don’t think many (if any) of the “great” coaches in college or NFL are calling plays. Maybe a few in critical situations, but I believe the HC should delegate.

I was firmly in the Leavitt camp, but this hire is starting to feel pretty good to me. I watched a couple YouTube videos on Coach Scott today. He seems like a solid guy and is a “lifer”. Coaches kid, went on recruiting trips with his father when he was 7 years old. Spent a lot of time around FSU and St. Bobby in the Charlie Ward years. He has been with Dabo every step of the way. I’ve always liked Dabo, seems like an awesome guy and and awesome Coach. CJS is a WR guru and by all accounts a great recruiter. He has a helluva pedigree...I am supporting him 100%. It “feels” like it was the best choice for the program right now (if it couldn’t be Leavitt).

Not to get all “geographically correct“ on you guys but that scene can only be a sunset on the Gulf Coast.

LMAO....it almost seems too good to be true. I’m so stoked. This HAS to happen now.

Anyone that played under Leavitt is an OG in my book.

If Leavitt comes back it would be great to see Grothe and some of the other OG’s on the staff in some capacity.

CLICK. BAIT. Works every time and it’s never cool.

No idea who he is or what he knows, but I hope he’s right. Seeing Grothe’s comments gives hope too. It seems to have some legs.

Fair enough...Disregard the first part of that question. Is there any validity to this based on what you know?

Does anyone know who this OP is? Is there any validity to it?

Not trying to pick a fight but I don’t understand this mentality and you’re not the first person to say this. Why can’t Leavitt win conference titles? I understand that he didn’t win titles when he was here the first time. I was one person at the time that became frustrated with that fact as well. However, a lot of time has passed and I have had time to re-evaluate my thoughts on that. For one, we can’t forget that he built a program from nothing, with nothing. In 10 years we went from not existing to competing in the Big East and knocking off some giants along the way. If I’m not mistaken he’d never been a head coach prior to that. This coupled with the fact that he’s gotten tremendous experience since he’s left. I can’t imagine how much of a better coach he has to be now than he was then. I would expect to challenge and win conference championships on a regular basis if he comes back.

This would possibly make sense. No way in hell that Leavitt is under Slick Willie or anybody else at USF.

Exactly...enough of this already.

Dude’s balling. I guess that “news” will not be taken seriously.
