Exactly. Pretty similar resume when Oregon decided to promote him from WR coach to OC.

Precisely why I've been bringing him up. "only" 5 years as a position coach, with two of those on the defensive side of the ball and he got the keys at Oregon and the rest is history.  Everyone is inexperienced at something until you give them a shot to do it.   Considering how some here talk about this I would figure they would love Gilbert's offense....  Safe, unimaginative, and with a "track record" .   Letting anybody else on this staff OC the bowl would be that typical safe and unimaginative USF move, which means we'll probably go that route, but it doesn't mean its the correct way....

It's time to hand King the keys to the offense for this bowl game.  This is a perfect no risk audition to see how he handles calling plays and running offensive practices the next couple of weeks.

I hear we got a great deal hiring the HC of McNeese State to be our new OC. I think his name is Gilbert Sterling.

Is that a fair audition? On a related note, is King experienced enough to be an OC? I want a proven winner because I want us to be a proven winner.   I love internal promotions, but it

But for every guy that works out there are probably 2 that don't.  The guy that just coached McNeese played there, was an assistant there and they made him head coach.  Gave him 3 years and he's gone.

That's an alarming estimate..... Until you realize that the majority of coaching hires, period,  don't work out..... 

People can neither succeed or fail if at first you don't give them an opportunity....

I'd bet the failure rate isn't much better or worse for those with experience. xCJL was never a head coach, until he was. xCSH was a successful head coach, until he wasn't.

It would be in the teams best interest to bring in an experienced play caller. King does not have that experience that this team needs. Plus there are some players on that side of the ball that would rather it not be King.

Not sure how you know this, but I would be surprised if you could get all the players to agree on any OC

I think you have to hand the reigns over to King at this point if you want to keep him in the fold. He's definitely a coach on the rise and a very good recruiter. He's put in the time. I think it's a no lose situation for USF. On the other hand CCS has a lot to lose and may not feel comfortable handing over the OC duties to somebody who doesn't have experience (as an OC) with his job on the line. If King does get passed over I wouldn't be surprised to see him get hired at FSU as their QB coach.
