CJS was behind the curve right from go. He was too busy preparing to lose to LSU, so he couldn't get much of a headstart on recruiting. But it's his first year, we'll see how it shakes out but hopefully he'll work the trails and have us moving up. We'll also see how he develops the players we got, we need that skill here the most IMO.

black & gold shorts, Mike? Hmmm, good fight though.

Id like to see him finish his career in Florida, even if its not here.

Same here, glad for him to come back "home".

As long as the guy can evaluate and tweak his style & strategy to fit the players' skill sets, he'll have a legit shot here. The minute he starts trying to pound circles into squares because he has "a great offensive mind", I'll start moving down the spectrum towards another lost cause. Sounds like he knows how to evaluate talent and maybe even find hidden gems--I certainly hope so for our sake. 

Funny thread. Hypothetically I wouldn't really be opposed to him returning. But if he did entertain it, like @GaUSFBull said, we should have a whopper buyout clause.

No reason to cringe, we are outmatched, outclassed and certainly out coached, we will get what we deserve, a blowout against a rival while paying our coach millions.  Go Bulls!

You quoted several of the reasons why it was a very cringe-worthy game...and was fulfilled, I couldn't watch any more after we were down by 3 scores.

I'm just cringing for tomorrow...and I'm not talking about the lines at Best Buy lol.

I guarantee if my team at work started delivering shoddy products on a regular basis, I'd be moved quickly to a "special assignment" and eventually quietly moved out. Maybe what we need to do is try moving CCS to a special recruiting assignment for a couple of games and see if the team responds any better with one of the coordinators playing the interim role. Just a thought. I really like Charlie as a guy and as a mentor, just like I did with Willie, but something's just not right with this team--they're way too up & down in performance. Wish I knew the answer.

Kinda puts everything in perspective. So glad you've made it through some of the rough stuff, bud, hope the journey to go is a lot easier. Prayers still going.

Yes we have, Mike was cut shortly after our discussion as I projected.  He is a practice squad player for the Jets and will wash out of the league in the next year.  Blake’s tape is not going to get him anymore than an FA invite to camp and he will never play a down in a regular season game either.  I like them both but they don’t have the ability to read a defense and deliver the ball effectively at the professional level, nothing personal but it is what it is.

So I don't necessarily disagree with your opinion that neither BB nor MW would play a regular season snap, though I'd say Blake still has as much a shot as MW. But your original offering that "He is not good enough to play at any level and that has been proven in his time here" was why I responded. "At any level" is too absolute. The fact that MW got the draft, plays as an NFL practice squad QB, and has taken snaps in pre-season games with the highest-level players is enough to say he played professionally beyond CFB. There's also other professional leagues in and out of the US that many USF players have gone on to play in, so I still say he's not done.

Looks like the large gold U

Still uncertain...the twitter posts are just the wish list.

Blake isn't done. We've had this discussion before...

Joey travels to our games? Since when?

I think he's traveled in the past. Their budget probably allows 1-2 away games for the Bulls plus any bowl games. Just my guess.

No idea who this team is.  Very strange vibe this year.

and last year, though it became pretty clear later in the season. I much prefer the stuff I'm seeing this year over last.

quick recovery, @MikeG

hospitals suck

He CAN do it all. Now they just need to get McCants. those guys are both just iron football players--put them in and wait for some fireworks

Horne was at the top of my list. I was thinking he'd be the next Rodney Adams for us, but not there. Ford wouldn't be on anyone's list if he got on the field more, but that's all on him.

I'd like to see more Sands & Wilcox.

USF

38-34

Cronk

(throw it to) Wilcox

388

Throw out FCS scores and it adjusts slightly (yes, i'm aware three teams totals wouldn't change because they didn't (and don't) play an FCS team):

my math is probably wrong but close.

9. USF -9                          -48
 

 

Nah, I don't like that picture better. Stop doing math

Just hope the kid gets it together. Hate to see talent wasted on foolishness.

The first black starting QB for BYU to lose a game.  

yeah but they can blame the loss on their backup-backup QB, since they sat Hall from being Bull-battered. The kid played a good game, but his O line didn't help him much.

They said NO today to losing a close game, and that's a great start to get to 6 wins. If they keep building confidence and exploiting weaknesses, I could see them getting there early.

I'd say yeah, we need to be a run team against any team that can't stop the run.

He ain't comin back.

Wait...he said it was so important to be near where it all started in Bradenton...what....

Important for the Willie Tags name brand...which is the opposite of hot right now. Maybe he should get back to where it all started...again.
