Yep .... Problem is you only get one shot at this rebuild, at this point in time, so hopefully the philosophy we went with works.

Are we planning on shutting the program down or something?  If this one doesn't work we'll be back to the drawing board again.....

Heath had some good recruits.  Big mistake firing him.  That's what happens when the President who is an old lady gets to fire the coach.  She said at one time he got fired because he played boring ba

Since 1990 we have had 20+ win seasons twice.. Brian Gregory has won 20+ six time since 2003. While he may not be the superhero we want, he may be more than the one we deserve. Give him a shot.

Jesus Christ people!  Who the hell did you think we would really get?  We have no players, no history, etc.  Right now, this is a huge challenge of a job. Some of you think we can just go out and

I think we have already multiple chances at rebuilds over the years...90% of the time they have failed.

Reminds me of the Wayne Gretzky quote: You miss 100 percent of the shots you never take.

Point was, in 3 or 4 years if this isn't working, you can't call a time out, jump in Mr Peabody's way back machine and go back to give one of these other guys a chance ...

Okay, I've talked myself into it; I'm on board with the new coach.

(1) Harlan had a ton of time to look for candidates. I mean way too much time. One would assume that he wasn't sitting on his duff. And I'm sure he made a lot of calls before making this offer.

(2) Our men's bball program is on the ground floor (there are no basements in Florida!). And we might get some kind of NCAA penalty. Orlando,:dankk2:Well, it's serious enough that the new coach has an asterisk in his contract about getting a 7th-year if it goes down that road. Anyway, we need somebody who has experience with this kind of rebuilding.

(3) Experience is the key to our need. To this end, the new coach has a lot of it. And he did rebuild G-Tech after their problems, as Gary pointed out in his article.

(4) All hires are a gamble and a roll of the dice. I think Harlan and the lady with the sailboat went with the safe bet, with something like this in mind, "If he gets us to the NIT in a few years, that's big progress."

(5) As for the spending, I was chuckling at how much we are paying. Regarding how much, I still wonder if USF has gotten out of the habit of throwing away money. Anyway, at least it with men's bball, the program can afford it. To sleep better, I'll pretend that we had to spend more money to get the new football staff, and not pay that much for a men's bball coach who was fired 2 years ago...

 

The dumpster fire is now out. Now, let's see if we can get back on track. Next year!

Wouldn't call it out but just smoldering at the moment ...

Whether truth or drama, we were also told the rest were all (possibly) going to leave.  Not that it matters at this point, but that seems not to have happened.  We may be on our way back.

It's not long or winding to Exit C, which is the road I'm taking.

That's not jumping on the C bandwagon is it?
