So, what about Charlie?

[Brad]

Given the new AD hire was a fine fellow not named Jurich, does that change anything for Charlie? 

More specifically, 2018 will be his second year in a five year deal if I remember correctly (and USF starts paying much more in Year Three).  So, it's natural to soon ask for an extension, he'll be nearing that range by end of this season I am sure.  Will he ask?  I guess it depends.

I suppose the easy answer is it is too early to tell....a lot can happen between now and an extension offer or request.  But I wonder how much this AD hire changes things.  What is Charlie's mood at USF? Is he more or less likely to leave on the first ship out of the Bay?  Or does he find success and make it his home?  

What are the latest odds, guesses and speculations?

Probably depends on their relationship once things get going and mostly how much he can get paid here compared to any other possible opportunities down the road.

VPofAMK said his first call was to FCCS.  So hope that helped a bit to ease Charlie's pain of not getting Jurich.  BTW, in Judy's comments yesterday it seemed like my mind interpreted something she said as "There was no way Jurich was coming here.".  Can't remember what words came out of her mouth but that is what I heard.

I still think Charlie would like to stay especially if an OCS starts moving forward in the next two years.  A thought on FCCS.  He really seems to hate donor related events.  He probably won't show up again this year to the Iron Bull preseason tailgate event. Yet he wants everyone to show up at football games.  Just sayin'.

Don't really see a correlation between those two things. I realize that the whole glad handing thing is supposed to be a part of that position but some hc's just aren't real comfortable with it. Just win, Charlie.

I agree that one of the main Head Coach (aka CEO)'s jobs is gladhanding, and that CCS sucks at it.

But delegating is also a CEO job, and I don't see where CCS has delegated the glad-handing either.

So he better step up and do better, or delegate it to someone who can do it right. Either way, the glad-handing needs to get done.

Maybe Kelly can coach 'em up and get CCS straightened out on this. And, just maybe, CCS will see that relationship as a good thing.

I really could care less if CCS is out on the town pressing palms. Sure, he may need to do a little of that during the off-season but CCS gets paid to win games. It’s the Athletic Dept and marketing’s job to get people to the game. 

I give CCS two more years at USF then he is gone. It better be with one a conference championship.

Just win!

In my mind, this is the first year to really see what CCS and his coaching staff can do on the field.

I hope Charlie and any coach chooses to leave and is not asked to leave from this day forth.

This ↑  because, hopefully, it's because of the success they were having.

Agree

Wife's a Gator.  Gator club got Dan Mullen to come to town, and he got everyone pumped. I'll admit I was too.  

If FCCS wants people to show up, he is very much a part of it.
