Not being a smart aas here. What will is job be here? Different than what he was doing at Tenn?

Was thinking the same thing when I came across your post. Sounds like some type of administrator which I've read on here is important. What I would like to know is what specifically is this person going to do to increase the wins and reduce the loses on the field?

OK. As I said in another thread I'm new to this whole NIL concept. Are you saying The Bullspen will be raising money so an athlete, or athletes, can receive money for playing for USF?

And just finished an undefeated season and playing for the State title in 2 weeks!!

Yeah. I remember the secret recruiting battles going on when my son's played HS football in the 90's. Armwood, Hillsborough, Plant etc... Always thought the odds of some of these schools having the talent they had, in their district, every year seemed against all probability.

With the new coach being another 1st year learn on the job head coach my expectations are low.  So I will set a fair 3 year plan for the new coach. I hoping for the following scenario:

2023 2-10 - I know 2 wins might even be tough if USF doesn’t address the defense 

2024 4-8 - If all goes well during 2023 then the goal should be at least to double the wins from his first season.

2025 8-4 - This would be a great season for USF as long as the coach can double up the hopefully 4 win season in 2024

Think that is a fair early forecast. 

Respectfully, at that rate I will have most likely met my Maker.

I wasn't aware that this was going on. Chances are I will probably just avoid college football altogether going forward. Not looking to debate or argue with anybody but isn't paying, nowadays I'm guessing $150k plus, enough for the services of an young athlete. I quit watching the NFL because of the insane $$$ being asked for and given. If college athletes start getting paid a million dollars for what ever reason, do they still have to go to class. I'm old and just don't get it. God I miss the old days.

I keep reading about paying players and something called NIL. Would someone be willing to give me a quick overview of these concepts. I honestly have no idea what these are.

I think I might be cautiously optimistic just thinking they can edge Howard 

I believe you might be cautiously optimistic. The Howard Bison lost two games by a total of thirteen points to two powerhouse football programs in Alabama State and Hampton. I didn't even know Hampton had a football team. 

Might be mistaken here but wasn't Bohanon supposed to be a dual threat QB, making things happen with his feet as well as his arm?

How many games can we realistically win this year?

0

Thinking Howard will kick our a$$es next week.

Not even knowing what the Mad Cow Lounge was I requested a sign in password. Thanks Brad for the quick response. After my first visit, although extremely brief, I won't be going back. I joined because I thought it was going to be a place to get away from all the angst,  hate and divisiveness we have in our lives today. The whole first page of threads was political blathering nonsense created by someone named Smazza. It was unreadable. Wasn't aware of The Trough either. I'll give that a visit.

Went to Curtis Hixon more times than I can remember.

Up in the mountains where we live now we have an old, dated music hall with wooden church pew type seats. Not much to look at and maybe holds a few thousand tops. But they really do bring some good shows here. Three Dog Night came last year. We bought tickets and saw Blood, Sweat & Tears last fall. Not one original band member was in the group, but they had such great musicians they could certainly fool you with their sound. Funny thing was at 65 years old I felt like I was one of the youngest in the whole crowd that night.

Not trying to minimize the threat something like this could pose but, according to the CDC during last years 2018 through 2019 flu season, on average 89 people a day died from the flu virus. I just don't understand all the hysteria at this point.

Just an FYI. It is my understanding that next year there will be no games on social media or BullsVision. All of that content will be moved over to espn+.

Sadly that will leave me with no way to watch them. I haven't had ESPN, or any sports packages, in six years. That won't change going forward. At least I can get the scoop on here. 

OK. Appreciate it. I'll keep my eyes open for it.

I wonder why there is no youtube for this one?

Can you please help an old guy out here? How do you watch a game on Youtube. That's probably the only way I'll get to watch Bull's baseball. Would really appreciate the help.

If that’s the case bring in Umass...I want a home game too

Yep

Well if home games for members is a criteria I want in too. I want us to add Western Carolina to our conference. They actually kicked a field goal against Alabama and held them to 66 points. I'd argue that's as good, if not better than we did against Wisconsin.

I feel the facilities arms race is very dangerous and potentially ruinous. Especially since very few of even the big name schools turn a profit on athletics.

I can't help but agree with this.

I remember that trailer well. I would see it every time I would go to a baseball game at the old ball field. We've definitely come a long way since. Speaking of baseball, I really miss attending games in person. I've only been to one since moving away in 2007.

I was born when Eisenhower was President.  Grew up on Captain Kangaroo, Sonny Fox, The Rifleman, Andy, My Friend Flicker, Fury, etc.

Same here Grateful Dad..

I remember watching "Andy Griffith" on our only TV in the house, an ugly old square metal B&W TV with four metal, tube-like legs on roller wheels.

I am in total agreement with you Sir, even though I am a Plant supporter (cant help it I have roots there).  My Grandfather was on the Committee back in the 60's to build the original Dad's Stadium.

My oldest son actually played for Roland Acosta back in the nineties.

It's not just Plant HS. I'd wager that schools like Armwood do the same thing. It's just not feasible for the same schools, year after year, to go undefeated and vie for state championships the way these guys have done. It wouldn't seem out of place for a school to have great success like that for a few years in a row while a core group of good players in the same class played their way through their senior year together. But to do what Plant (I was surprised they had it rough this past season and your guess is as good as mine as to why) and Armwood and many other top high school football programs do repeatedly is just not believable without some questionable moves. Just my opinion.

I keep reading Shaun King is/was a great recruiter. Not arguing that point either way because I don't know. I would be curious to know the names of the players he's been credited with recruiting to the Bulls.

"Only member on staff that I would keep is King". Sorry DELdaBull, I forgot to hit the quote function.

I have absolutely nothing against Shaun King. Other than watching him QB the Bucs for a short while, I actually know very little about him. What I want to know is why so many think he needs to stick around with a new staff. I've read this in thread after thread. Again, it makes no difference to me one way or the other. Is it strictly for his perceived recruiting skills? Is it because he is a phenomenal position coach, and if so, why is he still just a position coach? Just trying to ask for help understanding this sentiment. Thanks.
