So he succeeded here because of the players, if he succeeds at Oregon, it will be because of his coaching staff ...... jilted lovers, indeed.

Leavitt was huge...his d will prop coach up in a bunch of these games...he is on the cusp though of getting a hc gig again very soon though..I wouldn't be surprised if he got one after next season 

Quote

He will have a much shorter leash...he can't keep recruiting Florida at the level as he did at USF.. there are far too many barriers to keep having sustained success

While it often seemed like opponents had career bests against our defense, our offense racked up some amazing records. I'd like to capture all of them in one place, please help.

It was a great year to be a BULL!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

11 wins. Wow!

12 one-play drives

Adams had 67 receptions for 822 yards, both records

17-straight 30-point games

First Florida team ever to have a QB with 2,000 yards passing and 1,000 yards rushing

There are a bunch more you're leaving out as well...it's been a fantastic season

All of these rankings are based on total talent, which makes big classes better than small classes. It's much better for comparison sake to rank the class on AVERAGE athlete star ranking. Based on this, how did we rank, I wonder?

This is correct...we have a pretty decent average star rating...that being said we had and still may have some higher ranked recruits we can land

This, I think.  there's always a chance a local stud wants to stay (like DT Oliver at Houston).  Not sure what he can do with the 2017 class, but hope he can improve from where Taggart left him:  70-80 ranking, which is no bueno for a 10-2 (the pessimist in me wonders if Taggart didn't press as hard, expecting to leave).

If Taggart stayed the class I think would have ended up in the 40's...the commits all would stayed and there are a couple of 4 star backs he legitimately had a chance at landing...Strong still may have a solid finish though once he announces his staff and starts hitting the recruiting trail 

That is insane...who would do that?

If you're looking for "the next Jim Leavitt" then you are wasting your time.  Jim Leavitt is a one of a kind.  There will never be another.

It's going to be challenging with the position we are in now

He gone...

There are plenty of other metrics they leave out because of course it would make them look worse...for example...number of bowl wins...alltime winning percentage, winning percentage vs top 25 teams, winning percentage vs p5 teams, head to head record...that doesn't stop our crazy little friends from kicking and screaming in the twitter verse now does it...

Oh lawd...this is awesome

 You are not going to like next year as we will have to run up scores when we can due to the poor out of conference scheduling.

It's gonna be like the old WAC...well, hopefully our defense improves so we aren't in as many shootouts

Hope your mis-spelling was a typo?  If it wasn't for Selmon's vision, USF may never have had a football team. Therefore I support the idea of a statue. Good idea. 

Yes it was a typo...and I'm serious

Can we build a statue of Salmon?  

It was textbook

Who from UCF is talking?  As said by Trip many times, link?

 

Pretty  sure Coach S Frost has been showering USF with praise for  the recent  results. 

The UCF football team has never really talked trash that I can remember. ..it's always been their crazy fan base that really pisses everyone off...they talk all kinds of trash then they kinda disappear

"Are you feeling HOT?".....now away side...alright student section its time to get HOT.......ugh

I almost want to walk back inside when that guy is on...I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels that way...my pop hates it...I think he delays walking to his seat because of that

The NHL announcement was hilarious.....the Golden Knights has always been a terrible name and America just crapped all over it...yes UCF, your name is comical...this isn't just your rival making fun of you...we really weren't kidding...the Golden Knights is just terrible 

Sweet thanks!

So many jokes, so many ways to get banned...

Great work...this is really cool that this is done...greatly appreciated

Some posts yesterday in the game thread that we should have gone for 2 when we got to 41-34 to make it a 2 possession game. I did not agree with that as being up 8 forces the other team to make at least 2 good plays as opposed to one.

Seattle had just exactly that situation against New England and failed the two point conversion. I get the strategy but wide open to second guessing.

Yeah without a doubt you kick...we can't stop their offense and kept leverage by kicking the extra point

Wow.  What a crappy bowl lineup for the AAC

Pleeeaaase it's EPIC...the Boca Raton bowl is played in a converted shuffle board court in front of 40 rowdy elderly citizens...

I'm sorry, in a head to head contest we beat Navy...I feel like I'm taking crazy pills 

I know their are other indicators...besides head to head records....other indicators considered put us very close to each other...when that happens you have to look at if the teams have played each other, and what was the result

Navy only has 2 losses and one of those is against a dominant air force team. Plus their strength of schedule is much tougher than ours.

Virginia tech also deserves to be ranked. They lost to a very good Syracuse team that would pound us.
