Got it, thanks.  I'm troubled by the comment.  

Shouldn't be but here's the thread to expand upon if you like ... http://www.thebullspen.com/topic/110326-who-will-be-in-their-role-longer/?page=3#

There will be a step forward next season. But it will be a combination of Strong's leadership, the remnants of Taggart and a weak schedule.  Strong will bring a new approach to the defense which USF needs. Unlike Texas he does not need to clean up the program and reset a mentally. He will be able to step in and start coaching because Taggart set the table over the last four years.

Willing the bowl game will be key but next years schedule is favorable. Out of conference games @San Jose St (4-8), Umass (2-10), Stony Brook (5-6), Illinois (3-9). Conference Home Games Tulsa, Cincinnati, Temple, Houston. Conference Away games, UCF, ECU, Uconn and Tulane.

If the offense sustains its pace and the defense improves it is possible that USF goes through next season ranked all year long.

Average fans will know of him.

This is one of the key componenets ... Need to just keep their attention once we grab it.

Because I've seen this mentioned several times on here and have never seen it anywhere else.  I think it's an urban myth.  I don't think he said it.

I mean why do you find it hard to believe he would say he wants to be the first african american coach to win a NC?

Wrong thread .....

BTW, I'm good now ...

[Bausfkid]

It's a troubling statement to me.  It smacks of racism.

 If a white coach said, before the NC game vs. CWT, "I'd like to be the first white HC to beat the first African American HC to coach a NC game" do you think it would be an issue?

It's a dumb comment.

Agreed its the wrong thread. No need to hijack this one which is pretty good thus far. 

That bath was nice, thx for the recommendation. Maybe I should try some to help the transition from a post doc in physics to a faculty member at a Tier 1 research university

Lets leave it at that for this thread as to not hijack it on the momentous day . We can continue in the Cow if you would like. @NCBull started a related thread there.
