Who has he recruited? Obviously no one has recruited well here if we are this bad and without the grad transfers it would be worse.

https://247sports.com/college/south-florida/Article/USF-RB-Coach-Shaun-King-was-named-the-2018-AAC-Recruiter-of-the-Year-by-247-Sports-125458673/ 

let’s not be ignorant. He can recruit if recruiting is a supported function. Right now Strong seems like a wet blanket holding the program down and making it sick. Strong doesn’t support recruiting and thinks all you need is a few transfers to be competitive and competitive is good enough. If King, Bell, and the other coaches could do their jobs I can almost guarantee that we would see improvements across the board. These guys are professionals and should be able to put together a better product.

Those guys in that article don’t play for a reason.

CCS supposedly lets this do their jobs and just manages the boys at life as a life coach.

It’s Game day here at USF in Tampa Florida we already have the coach on staff to win the Conference Championship! It has been 3 years and we are no where near where we should be talent wise and as a program. The fun and excitement has been taken out of the program! It can not be fixed and we can not wait another year. Coach Kerwin Bell is the right man for this job. He knows how to clean up messes and build a program like ours that haven’t won a conference championship! He’s a natural leader and winner and has shown it every where he has been as a head coach! He gets people to buy in and sets a standard to reach that goal. He understands the state of Florida and people like him as a person. I believe he is a competitor and will do whatever it takes to take this program to the next level. Throughout his career he has always won and built with less just like CJL did. He would build this program up to where we have never been and is the type of person to stay like he did at Jacksonville University. At Jacksonville University before he got there, they had never had a winning record. In year 2 he won the conference championship and then 2 more while having the top offense in the country in 2010. 3 years after leaving Jacksonville University, Last year Jacksonville finished 2 and 8  last in the conference. As of now Jacksonville is last in the conference again. That is the effect of Kerwin Bell leaving!  At Valdosta State, Kerwin Bell went 5 and 4 year 2. Once Kerwin Bell’s recruits got in there they went undefeated in year 3 while winning In a conference record margin. They went on to be the first Valdosta State team to go undefeated and win the National Championship. While having the most efficient and explosive offense in college football history. After leaving Valdosta State, Valdosta State is undefeated again with a brand new staff and conference championship. Valdosta State is on a 24 game win streak which is behind Clemson’s 25 game win streak! Those are Coach Kerwin Bell’s players, and he created that culture. After all the big time coaches that have coached at Valdosta State, never have they been this good back to back year. The man knows how to build a program, create a standard, and culture of excellence! We need to let him do that here as the Head Coach. He would invest in the city of Tampa and create a love for USF football again because thats what he has always done.
