It was preparation, but a lot more of it was leadership, player development and desire. He did it for far less than market value. He wanted USF to succeed. Now we just toss millions in all directions and try to figure out why that doesn't work. Glad we don't have a "screwed the pooch" emoji. How about this? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had Holtz, Taggart and Strong. Aside from a player revolt under Taggart who was forced to change his system, we've had sloppy, underperforming, flat teams who occasionally surprise but for the most part disappoint. Now the Taggart years ended up going very well, no thanks to the goat, but Tags left us right at the critical point when we were going to take that next step as a program. I have no doubt if he didn't go to Oregon for that 1 year, we would have at the very least played in the conference championship and gone undefeated, and if he had left for FSU after, we would not have been saddled with Strong. Point is, Strong is clearly incapable of leading this team. He had 251 days to prepare for wisconsin, and the first thing he says post game was he failed to prepare them. Since he had taken over, from San Jose St to now, its been flat, uninspired, sloppy play that's gotten worse each year. Whether we fire him now or later, he has to go if we are going to grow as a program. The next hire is absolutely critical, let's copy the mickey mouse script. Go young, offensive minded and exciting. That's where college football is now, match that with florida speed and this conference is there for the taking, as it always has been. This has been cathartic, thanks. He cannot prepare or motivate the team period. That is where the problem lies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
