Ran into a USF coach at the American Football Coaches Conference in San Antonio where I live (was waiting to have dinner with Marquel). We had a good talk about how the season unfolded, how the cupboard wasn’t as stacked as we fans thought Taggart left us and how the fans rode Gilbert until the end. I mentioned Strong being on the hot seat (why sugar coat things). Wasn’t lost on him. He said the OC spot is down to two people. I’m assuming a decision is imminent. Interesting seeing thousands of coaches down here. Tough profession for sure.

CCS would be incredibly tonedeaf to promote Burke...  possibly even worse than tonedeaf, it may even be spiteful. he HAS to know the fan base is unhappy right now & that the program need

At that point in the interview Chuck probably stood up and said thanks for coming in we’ll call you

Hopefully Gleeson is one of them, but I have a feeling that would be Bell and Burke?

I'd bet it's down to Burke and whoever Kelly tells him the other guy is.

I’ll bet Bell...CCS knows the man and I think that is an important element. But yeah the Princeton coach sounds like the better option.

This is ultimately Strong's decision though, is it not? I would hope it would be Kelly's call, because I can see Charlie handing it to Burke. I'm guessing the only way we get Gleeson is if Kelly makes the decision.

Who knows if final call on hirings have to be formally approved by Kelly or not. I would imagine it's standard operating procedure to let the HC do the hiring, but it wouldn't surprise me if things like that are put into contracts or specifically left out.

I agree but I really don't see Kelly having too much involvement into who he hires.

If Kelly has to tell CCS who to hire then CCS should have been fired.

Interesting point. Of course from what I have heard Harlan had a good talking to with CWT during the off-season before we went on a roll. At the end of the day the VP is his boss.

    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.
