A lot of good stuff in there. 

I don't think CAG has had a bad press showing at USF.  Need to keep him.

Actual or announced?

He still didn't win a single bowl game or having a winning record at USF. He had all the pieces and wasn't good enough to get it done. He left USF in a better place in which he inherited it with his recruiting class, but is not a good coach.

UCLA's Chip Kelly advocates for single Power 5 conference - ESPN

WWW.ESPN.COM

---

UCLA's Chip Kelly advocated for football to break away from other collegiate sports and form a 64-team Power 5 conference and 64-team Group of 5 league.

I actually Like Chip's idea, but the bottom 8 of the power conference and top 8 of the non power conference should rotate every season.

Agree.  They would need to go to a relegation model.  Make it a play-in model also. 
Would keep it interesting.

Orlando did good in this one.   Process driven guy.  Defense could be better, but he knows that and has bought in.  I'm willing to see what CTO can do next year.  Green goggles on!

That was weirdly put. My meaning was we couldn't maintain building the program with back to back hiring of good coaches after Leavitt. So just hiring consecutive good coaches, 2 in our case, does not a program build ...... may take 3 like they did.

That's probably not clear either but **** it, I know what I'm trying to say ....

If you're going on what they did outside of USF, Taggart is up in the air... Sure he did well before USF... But since? I didn't really follow him at FAU...

His mother posted on X, in response to an upset Gator fan, the decision was based on what's best for the family.

So this one is about NIL money as much as it about playing time.

Yes.  Been hearing it's about playing for championship teams also.

A couple thoughts 

1. surprised no one asked about the stadium

2. coach is pretty clear in his ambition for where he wants to take the program. love it

3. at the same time he also more subtly though talks about how we are not there yet and there are still so many things to correct and work on

4. i am super excited to be playing an ACC team in a bowl game this year. just every time i think about it, huge turnaround

5. BB is a stud, Cheney too

6. i love the shout out to the need to protect BB more - way too many crazy plays this year that if we keep doing that for another 2-3 yrs, he is ending his career the same way BJ and Grothe did. 

2.  Agree; love it.  He's "fascinated" previously we've not been able to make it work here.

He keeps talking about laying the foundation.  Would love to hear the shift when he feels the foundation is there and ready to build beyond it.

"BROWN HESITATES FOR A QUARTER OF A SECOND WHEN ASKED IF HE WILL BE HERE NEXT YEAR*

*but ultimately decides that he will"

- Matt Baker, probably

Def. Damned if they do, damned if he don't moment, but t they way he asked it, then the follow up, the the later question he had for BB... Definitely classlessly trying to dig up a story.  

Will he join Wright?

Take our starting QB out and see what our offense looks like for a whole game.

 

What's even crazier is that a undefeated conference champion from a P5 conference doesn't get a shot over a two teams with loses. Just doesn't seem right.

Just illustrates there has never been a P5.  Just what ESPN wants.

Looks like we’ll be getting renderings on Tuesday, otherwise this would be an awful tease

 

Will be interesting to see if that actually happens seeing as they severed the contract with the design build team. Although they are trying to sole source to the AE firm. Perhaps that's what all of the meeting agenda item is supposed to cover... The acceptance of the soul source justification for the architect so the contract can be approved and then the renderings released

Brown is legit and we have some talent on the team but we need to step back and remember we were 4-4 in conference and teams like Memphis, Tulane, etc are more developed and deeper. I'd like to see some of our guys get some recognition sure but the ultimate recognition is just a conference championship and we need to keep working towards that. 

No one person but all 80 or whatever. 

Next play.

Add: Process is to win, not collect popularity contest honors.

I was in H.O.T. Band for our first bowl (meineke car Care bowl in Charlotte against NC State) and our first bowl win (whatever they called the Birmingham bowl those days) against ECU.  

I was sick as a dog in Birmingham.

No, all whites are always very nice

Agree to disagree.  

This was my least favorite:

These were so much better than the ice-white.

Who are catamount?  Seen something for BB and Atkins recently?

Also Timmy McClain

I thought Timmy left because we brought in GB and BB and he couldn't keep up, not because of NIL.

Can't grade the season until it's complete.

Looking forward to what those extra practices during bowl season will do for growth.

I would show him: 

1. Weaver and Horn.  Early season standouts but STILL not bowling.

2. Battie.  Fell flat off high hopes at Auburn.  Believe he had an injury off-season though.

Haven't followed what NIL they may got, but grass is not always greener.

Are we concerned Golesh is leaving?  Or just shooting the **** here

Golesh keeps talking about building something special here.  Hard to do that in one season.  

With the current atmosphere though... We have to worry about coaches and players.

I have to believe it will be against UCF.  I just hope it's in Boca and not Tampa or Orlando.

Can't says Disney doesn't write a good story...ESPN will be pushing for this matchup.

Trash is definitely a way to describe them. Wouldn't have changed the game, but that play where our defender was nearly decapitated by a receiver who then caught the touchdown was a trash move and even bigger joke that no personal foul was called.

This is probably old news, but was pleasantly surprised when I turned on the game and Jim Louk was calling it.  Wish ESPN would just do something like that for all of the ESPN plus feeds... Just let the local radio hosts be the commentary.

UCF did it right?

Anyone who is not trolling couldn't honestly say that.

Remember the 340 million is not just for the stadium, so when you see the renderings you have to understand that.  Plus things are more expensive today than ten years ago, so comparing a $250 million stadium from 10 years ago may not be entirely fair.

Thank you!

Yes... have to get power, sewer, water fountains.
