Retread Vs Up and Comer

Well, since you referred to them as "Retreads" I guess I will go with up and comer.

However, if I had to chose between an up and comer or an "Experienced Veteran Coach"  I might be torn.

If you want to quibble about phrasing:

Coach on the rise 

Vs

Coach on the fall

How about a compromise between both...

 

e.x. Strong (young, yet established)

Strong isn't that young anymore, he's 56.  Seems to still have a lot of energy and gives off the vibe of someone 45 or so.  However, of all the retreads, Strong is they guy I want.  He'd be hungry to prove that he isn't a failure after Texas, and he can recruit Florida.  He got a lot of talent out of Florida at Louisville.

A no-name nobody or an experienced veteran?

On the job trainee vs tenured professional

Taggart (imo) would not have left us if we were  a P5 program.  The way things stand now, if we find a hot young coach, he will be gone after a couple really good years.  A retread like Strong has a chip on his shoulder and a lot to prove, so he would be a good fit, figuring that you will likely have him only for a few years unless we somehow get into the P5 group again.

Kiffen I said no to originally, but maybe being under the discipline of Saban has caused him to grow up a bit.  I don't know, but he would be gone once a P5 program comes calling.

 

If we get an old coach looking for a place to play out his career, we risk the probability of him not being able to connect with the high school kids, who are the lifeblood of a college program.

I guess in the end it all depends on the person.  Coaches will come and go, but the one thing that will go on is USF.

 

Go Bulls!

Wow, 56 is old? geez

 

Was everyone here an undergrad during the Obama administration?!

 

A coach that age has many years left
