I just wonder what they were saying about him when they were doing so well.

FWIW, he was apparently on our short list when we hired CCS.

FSU's Lawrence Dawsey a candidate for USF's head coach opening?

The fsu fans I’m friends with have been saying he needs to go for years. They thought it was the funniest thing in the world when he was a supposed candidate for our job last year. He’s almost certainly out of a job their after next week.

Interesting quote:

Florida: The Gators need to entertain -- not just score points, entertain. That's their legacy, and it that goes back to Steve Spurrier. That means an elite quarterback. That means points. 

While that might be a truism for the Gators, it's even more necessary for the Bulls. (1) we're G5 and style points matter, and (2) there's a LOT more other things to do in Tampa than Gainesville. Competition for the entertainment dollar is tougher.

 

Yup. College football is an entertainment offering for our disposable income. There is no moral imperative to show up and watch it if it does not entertain. Especially with the demographic tidal wave happening where the younger generation just isn't into sports as much.

How about Lawrence Dawsey,  FSU Co-OC/WR coach.

I was sad to see him leave USF.

He's 50 years old with enough experience now to be considered for a head coaching position.

If this is the quality of candidate we would consider I would much rather promote King to HC if Strong left.....

1. Strong isn't leaving.

2. King is probably ready to be a HC. He needs a seasoned OC and a good DC.

Honestly if Strong is having a lot of influence on the offense, I wouldn't be opposed to making Gilbert the head coach if Strong left. Gilbert has a decent track record and if the conservatism is due to Strong, and Gilbert as a head coach would be a little more diverse in he offense, I think it could be a good fit for USF. I know Gilbert is the receipient of a lot of negativity on this board, but I don't know how much of the offense is Strong directing things or Gilbert. I think Gilbert seems like a pretty good coach. His offenses do move fast and get a lot of yards. How much is Charlie making calls and how much is Gilbert?

There will be quite a few coaching dominoes to fall at the end of this year. I have a hard time believing strong won’t have P5 options.

I think he will have P5 options but if I were him I would not jump ship to a SEC dumpster fire.  Especially if he is making P5 money here.  Next year or the year after he would have much better options.

Yes perhaps but a one and done typically is bad for a coaches future prospects.

He's 56, he doesn't really have to worry about that sort of thing. He is gone this year. The writing has been on the wall for some time now.

I would not be surprised at all if we lose Strong, Gilbert, or Jean-Mary. As it's been mentioned a couple times, this is definitely not the end goal for Strong. Gilbert could end up as a HC to a G5 school once the dominoes fall and the same goes for BJM. Out of the 3, I would more upset about BJM leaving as he has had the biggest impact on our team this season. Why BJM is not a finalist for the Broyles Award makes zero sense to me.
