Preeminent status in the state, a named corporate sponsor for the Sun Dome, a very promising new AD hire . . . great happenings at the alma mater! Go Bulls!

Just when I think there's nothing left for some of you to ***** about, you surprise me.  If he wants to try to convert Tampa Bay locals that root for another school I say, more power to him.

When I initially saw his name out there, along with Higgins, thought either of them would be perfect but also didn't think we had a shot at either because of their current positions. This is a very pl

He was part of the College Football Playoffs committee and has a lot of P5 connections. Maybe a few of his old coworkers can vote us into the playoffs when we go undefeated in 2019 :)

That previous job is part of what makes it a better hire than most of us were expecting. Now he just has to show he can make it rain.

I think we can go with the plan that he will be squeaky clean....two guys that he looks up to are Joe Gibbs and Tim Duncan....not bad people to try to emulate.

Unless we have 2 searches going on at the same time ....

Kelly was selected after a national search announced by the university on June 4.

I'm going to reserve comment until after his first year of service. As for the job title, I'm inclined to believe the title was a condition of acceptance of the job. He did leave a fairly lucrative position to return to USF. The title change may be just to emphasis the importance placed upon the position at this time. Who knows.

Must admit that I had never heard of Michael Kelly till today but with everything I’ve read I couldn’t be happier about his selection.  Now let’s build the **** IPF and OCS and get in to a P5.  Lots of work to do Mr. Kelly.  Welcome aboard and glad to have you back in Bulls Nation!

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
