    Starting a thread about potential coaches before there is even an opening is as much a staple of this board as ocs and Publix discussions ....

    It seems like the typical biased folks are jumping waste deep in this...I'm not saying this isn't true...but give it more then 5 min before blowing it up...

    It’s way early but Cade is leading the QB derby

    Bobby was a statue and fumbled every third play due to our line and no pocket presence and getting sacked.  Both of them played baseball but I will always remember bobby in ot beating Miami, even though I will always give that victory to our d line and the biggest ass and head to ever play for us McClain was a submarine monster that stopped a couple first and goals from the one. 

    I still can't believe Bobby played good enough to beat Miami...he made a few good throws...but yeah the defense made a ton if big plays that day...

    We have more to offer with this IPF coming and our beautiful NFL SB caliber stadium......then anybody wants to admit or give credit for........All anybody wants to cry about is give me a **** OCS....whatever!

    I think a few posters understand this...Ray Jay will be torn down and a shiny new stadium will be built...because of this, I find it highly unlikely we build an OCS...by the way...it will be a shiny new professional venue...so terrible, I know...

    We need great on campus facilities that the recruits will be wowed by and can be proud of.

    Again......Playing in an NFL stadium that just held yet ANOTHER Super Bowl....AND, the BUCS won it......is a GREAT recruiting tool.....much better than any OCS our USF dollars can build at this time.....why can't anybody else see that!!

    Propaganda from our friends at Oviedo CC seems to be working...

    I don't think the region has an appetite to build a new stadium - we can't even get a transportation tax that was approved by voters going, without lawsuits derailing it. While I think the Rays are first in line for a new stadium, I could see the region letting them go, but building a new stadium for the Bucs would be the next referendum in if Tampa wants to remain a big league city.

    There is a long history of metro (or financially challenged) schools sharing pro stadiums, and even though its a bit dated RJS is still a good one. 

    For the NFL we do...all the ownership has to do is threaten to leave...NFL has far bigger pull as opposed to MLB at least in this region...watch...a new stadium will be built...

    First Practice Report

    So many positives in this article.  But the one that jumps out at me:

    Scott said 92 players participated in Tuesday's workout — surpassing the numbers of any practice last season 

    This is huge.  92 isn't all that many, but we had far less most of last season.  We have a full football team, well mostly full.  

    Or the "we tied the amount of spring practices last year with one...we break that tomorrow."

    Recap of yesterday’s football press conference

    I just question why if the sole goal was experience we invested a good portion of that experience at key positions in people that are no longer with the program. We threw away last season but that does not mean that we had to. As certain as you are that Fortin would have been the starter I’m equally as certain that it would have been JM. CJS seems like a nice, take the path of least resistance and do not make any waves kind of guy and I think JM looked like the safest call to him.

    It's a fair question...my guess is they didn't know if a lot of those players would leave...and to play that season and get that experience...a lot of the guys that left had to play...I could tell you JM wasn't the best by a good amount, and I was actually a huge JM cheerleader at first...but then I had plenty of film of the guy and changed that tune...

    Maybe you guys our right and CJS was simply fortune’s fool and there was really only one QB available 7 out of 9 games but it certainly looked like we were, since we obviously were not trying to win, trying to develop JM. That he is now with another team and we made no attempts to keep him certainly calls into question the purpose of the last year. If the only other option is a true freshman, why not get him some more game experience if you know JM is not your future? 

    It doesn't call into question of the purpose of last year...I'll clear the white noise...we played last year for experience...for the players and the coaching...JM was the best available most of the time...either due to contact tracing or injuries...simple as that...that true freshman was hurt at multiple points last year...I know in the Houston game he was injured and Cinci he may have gotten hurt as well...not sure on that point though and I think he was part of the contact tracing at some point during the season on top of it...If I were a betting man and Fortin wasn't affected by Covid and injuries, he would have been our starter last year...

    The thing that is in question is why start JM almost every game if he quite clearly wasn’t the answer? How was it not abundantly clear at some point earlier in the process? And if it’s a throw away year where you are just trying to figure out what you have wouldn’t it be more evident and wouldn’t you learn more by starting a greater variety of QBs? Especially ones that you may leave on your roster the upcoming season.

    Last season we looked to be as much a rudderless ship as we did one that lacked talent and failure to have a plan is a plan for failure. Maybe there was in fact a perfect storm of issues that made winning any games against an FBs team impossible but it certainly looked like we could have made better decisions that impacted wins and the future. Just because someone decides to throw away a year and skate by doesn’t mean it was necessary and that nothing fruitful could be accomplished. 
     

    Hopefully we do in fact see the improvement this coming season but that doesn’t change the fact that we chose to waste last season, and I have a sneaking suspicion that the smaller class next season will drag this “rebuild” on for the foreseeable future.

    To answer your question...Covid and injuries...that was the primary driver last year of keeping JM in the helm...my guess is things should stabilize and it will most likely come down to Williams and Fortin and Williams eventually starting once the season kicks off in my opinion....
