What should AD MK do?

[Blackice12]

This football season has all the intricacies of a Harvard Business Review Case Study

Let me layout a few key points.

1. UCF is winning

2. USF football's season is in a death spiral, that brings back the memories of the Leavitt days with fear of going back to the Holtz error. (Error is not a typo for era).

3. More money is needed for an indoor practice facility and you are in the midst of soliciting donations 

4. A new president will be named by Spring of 2019. So it is important to make sure as an AD all your ducks are in a row

5. With money needed for an indoor practice facility, is the really money available to part ways with a high profile bargain priced head coach

6. Reallignment is coming and USF football was a dumpster fire at the time. That sure can't happen again.

7. Finally got more butts in seats this year and maintaining momentum in a metro city is tough. Ask the University of Miami.

8. All the other sports  teams are on the uptick. But the cash cow is sucking wind at the moment

9. Did I mention UCF is winning

 

If you were AD MK what would you do?  #WWMKD

1. CCS isn’t a “bargain priced HC” beginning in 2019. 

2. Do whatever it takes to get Ryan Day in Green & Gold

If he says no? Call Jeff Scott

1) get a pez dispenser  

2) fill it with Xanax bars 

3) pop Xanax bars like actual pez from Sept to January 

4) use scotch to wash down the Xanax

5) forget we have a football program 

6) repeat for as many years as you can

There is more wrong with this season than just the coaching staff. That said I think Strong is a good coach and can win. We knew this year was going to be a step back with losing some key players. We were hopeful some talent would mature faster. Injuries and a beat up team aren't helping.

That said I think there is pressure to either replace the OC or change offensive Scheme. I think the fans, and NCAA football in general enjoys the shootout style games and we need a fast high scoring offense to do so. We need to aggressively pursue recruits and transfers to fix our linemen issues, which also can be fixed with the weight room and more time. 

I think this staff can succeed but is too stubborn to get creative, that may be our OC's downfall  especially after we finish the season without winning any more games.  Charlie will have to choose very carefully as if next year there isn't improvement it may be his turn.

I think you have good points. Honestly I hope you are right. I just think that Strong won’t change though. He is bound to Gilbert (look at his history) and it will be his downfall. It’s why I think he needs to go now.

Idk but the Texas Charlie Strong angel won’t be lonely for long if his performance doesn’t pick up

After his second season, Willie Taggart changed his offensive scheme to the GCO Let's hope Strong picks up from lessons learned. I agree there is an under utilization of talent and creativity in this offensive scheme.
