I can not believe this thread is four pages long...never should have been started in the first place. Some of the recent best College coaches (Saban, Spurrier, Petrino) were awful NFL coaches...We have nothing to worry about. If this guy is even average Coach will show him the door quick.

Worst referring I have seen to date. The old guy in the back was incompetent.

This. Fine game by the team down the stretch. Really manned up and made the shots they had to to get the win. We may not win 12 games in the Big East this season, but I am happy with the progression of the program. Collins went out and the other guys stepped up when Mason's shots started going down. Speedy recovery to all injured guys, I still think we can beat UCiF, this team is starting to gel a little bit.

Either way. I will finally be able to make a game in the new dome!!!!!!!!!!

usf needs to focus on building a program and winning not how they look

there is so much discussion on our uniforms

nike does a much better job than ua

Correct about how they look. The reason the University changed its football colors to match the colors of the univeristy the team represents.

The Nike vs UA thing is a toss up. Their have been some nasty looking nike productions as well.

I was really hoping that for the Senior Game we went to gold helmet, green jersey and green pants. Just like the old days. Uniforms are a big part of tradition. It would be nice to see some consistency. NO GOLD PANTS!!!

Agree only if you meant the USF gold with black U. .... That's tradition.

So happy those things are gone. No clue why people love them so much.

Those helmets had an attitude .... "I don't give a **** how I look."

If you say so. The teams colors should match the school colors. The right choice was made to change to the schools natural color.

I will agree that some big wins in those helmets, but they had to go.

1) South Florida

4) Rudd-11

DiNovo is a better prospect than AW?

GTFO

Having seen both play multiple times I'd put $100 down right now that says DiNovo is more successful than AW when it's all said and done.

Which is why Taggart is not after thim much as people think. The kid had two stars, shows up and has a stroke of a mircale performace at a skills camp and shoots up to a four stars. If I am Taggart even if AW commits, White is my QB unless AW out performs him by a mile. White has proven he is a winner and most of all is as accurate as they come. Watching White's flim, I see throws BJ was off my mile going to his wides outs in the same spot everytime. White is our future.

2 stars and shot up to 4? You are so clueless it not even funny. The kid was a 4 star, committed to USF and got moved down to a 3 star. Decommitted and then again went back up to a 4 star after the IMG camp, being invited to gator day and other big programs to visit and participate in invite only camps. When he recommitted again to Usf on the radio show he again went down to a 3 star. After the elite 11 camp he once again, shot back up to a 4 star and the #2 Dt QB in the nation. He has recently fallen due to a poor season. Many believe this was because of the coaches (kid wasnt even the team captain on an awful team) hated him due to being UCF alums. Trent Dilfer and many well respected coaches have raved about him, even during his Junior year. I think they know the differece between the real deal, and a guy just playing well in shorts. Am I saying he is going to be the next Cam Newton? No. But I think he will be better than Teddy Bridgewater and will be closer to Tyrod Taylor.

White is our guy. I am over AW. If he wanted to come here he would have re re re re how every manytimes it is already committed. Nothing about his flim screams he is the future to me. Again if he was so crazy good why are no other program after him? This is kid will come with tons of drama and that is what we don't need trying to juice back up the program. White is the better QB for what we will run and more accurate I am happy we have him on the bus. If AW joins great! If not, nothing to worry about.

talks like a winner, but I guess it's easy when you just won a state title.

Deadly accurate. I will take him. Completely destroyed one of the better defenses in 3a. Make them look like the extra aged Swiss cheese.

Pretty much.... This is part of the reason I'm leaning toward White. Kid has a good head on his shoulders... is a competitor... but more importantly made a commitment and stuck by it with NO DRAMA. The more I think about it the less I like the idea of a guy who's all over twitter and everywhere else managing this team.

Sounds like sour grapes.

I'll take AW in a heartbeat. He's a kid, he's humble, and he's hungry.

How is it sour grapes? I've seen both White and AW play in person in game conditions and in my opinion White has a more mature skill set. AW has potential... and that's all it is because in two seasons he hasn't shown much during a game on the field when it comes to what we need which is game maturity and good decision making. AW won a skills contest as well as some 7 on 7 contests. White won a 3A POY and a state championship.

How is that sour grapes when I'd rather go with the known package. All we are going to need our QB to do is hand off to our power back or throw quick accurate passes and make sound decisions. That's White's game to a T.

This. Said it as soon as the kid commited. His team is an exact make up of what USF is at the WR skill position. They have baunch of good solid wideouts on that team and he lite it up. Kid is deadly accurate as well. I am not stressing over AW anymore, Coach T knows he has a secert weapon in White. Would you like to get AW? Sure but nothing to worry about anymore. Much more worried about running back.

The Nick Sheridan hire is very concerning to me. Was hoping for a Blackwell, Weinke, or similar hire. He threw 148 passes in college and has only two-years experience with college QBs. Not someone I feel that the QB recruits will be flocking to play for. Granted he had success with Kawaun Jakes but I was crossing my fingers for a splashier hire. I'm going to have to reserve judgement though. I'm so jaded from the Holtz New Dark Era that every time Taggart announces another one of his WKU guys joins the staff, I cringe. I'll have to 'Trust in Taggart' I guess.

I think our Head Coach may have played a little QB if I remember correctly

Should be fine.

This. Did not expect this hire, but:

TRUST IN THE BUS!!!!!!!!

Understandable. Jury is out on him in my book as well. But you can't argue with what he did a Western Kentucky. Hopefully with better talent coming in he can light it up.

not exciting but maybe saves money to get randy savage on ?

Not about big names to him when it comes to staff. His staff got it down and rather quickly at Western Kentucky. Like you, hopefully frees up space for Randy and a rock solid defensive staff.

Makes sense, they know the system at key points of emphasis

He can bring over his whole Western Kentucky offensive staff, they produced pretty darn good up there. The only hires I am really interested in are on the defensive side of the ball.

I think Taggart is one of the best hires on that list. A- ain't bad though for an outsiders opinion.

Say Asantii doesn't come here, does anyone see Mike White grabbing the starting spot since we're going to be a run heavy team anyway? Floyd looked lost last year and Evald is a wild card really. Sometimes having a winner at QB is important and that's what he is. I'm definitely hoping for Asantii. If he comes I can see us going anywhere from .500 to 9 or 10 wins.

Yes, the kid can be as accurate as they come when he focuses.

Where and when did I ever say Im opposed to Chris being on the staff? I asked originally about his coaching experience, than discussed his history( Collge, Pro and since). I asked if he had ANY REAL COACHING EXPERINCE and if he was the best person for the Job, Nothing more.

I also said if he is the best Im ok with it, I also said Coach T would make the decision and do what is best for USF Football.

Read the post above and see the thread.

Somebobdy is a hot head. All you are posting are facts against the Weinke hire. Flop this flop that. He would be hired to coach quarterbacks, which if you haven't heard he has a pretty good track record so far. That should be pretty much be all you need to know.

USF has the chance to HIRE a QB COACH who has COACHED many STARTING QUARTERBACKS in the NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE.

I can type with capitals and scream as well.

Classy, Give you facts and you resort to name calling. Teacher I suppose?

Why are you against a Heisman and National Title winning qb coaching for USF? Plenty of proven results out there playing in the NFL. Hire the guy, if he wants the job we would be a fool not to bring him on board the bus.

Do any of you know if we're going to have an OC? If not, that could be money spent on hiring some really good coaches for other positions.

Not sure any reason why we wouldn't hire an OC.

Because Taggart calls his own plays.

I think we need to face it....a 12 to 16 team all-sports conference is the way to go.

Also, if you allow the MW to rebuild then the reconfigured BE would have to battle them for the remaining access bowl slot. A combination of the best teams from both conferences assures the new combined league the slot and the only thing the teams would have to do is compete against its own conference, not biased opinions over which team from the remaining conferences is deserving of the slot.

I believe this is the best path for USF, the better teams left out there and a newly reconfigured league looking to add TV value.

I agree but UNLV is not the way to go. Get the other team in that state, add Nevada Reno. The only reason you look to add Vegas is for exactly that reason, the Las Vegas market. Unless adding the Vegas market offers up a much bigger value for a TV deal then I would stay out of vegas. Reno has a better football product and their basketball is 35-11 over the last two seasons. Better complete package if you ask me.

I am pretty ok with this, but I wonder if this means BYU / Air Force are no goes.

Fresno fine, UNLV...no way. Decent basketball, but their football program is a joke.

Tied at the half and we won by 18. Coaches are making the adjusments needed to win games. The better players on this team are still young. Don't write them off yet, we will know all we need to on Jan 20th.

If you can't watch this game consider it a blessing. This team can't rebound, score inside or shoot. This is gonna be a long season in the BE.

They'll be lucky to win 10 games. And it isn't coaching. These guys just suck. Kore White and Martino Brock have no business playing at this level. They are both trash.

Time to put the young guys in. The team is not all that bad, just not the same intensity as last years bunch.
