The Big East was repeatedly a top three conference by ranking and even as high as first some years, where do you honestly place the current AAC? 

Please please show me where they were top three...no ******* way. They were always the last one from the BCS

I know watching our offense presently is like watching a train wreck, however I haven't given up on the thought that Kerwin Bell can correct this hot pile of garbage if given the keys to the car. Will Mike Kelly or anyone else agree with me? Highly unlikely. However his track record time after time proves he can turn things around and has won at every level. Here is an article from when he was not renewed at Jacksonville University. Typically you're not renewed because you are a dead man walking and the administration lacks the balls to fire you even though you're incompetent on your best days and an albatross on your worst (see Charlie Strong presently). In this case, Bell was not renewed because he "wanted more for the program". For the most part, the guy won... and won consistently. I believe he had one down season - but we all very well know that can correspond with QB turnover as a football program is only as good as the QB at the helm. Anyways, throwing my two cents out there. 

If I had a second choice - I'd take Jeff Monkin from West Point. He's the type of coach that gets everything out of his players (and he beat UF while coaching at Georgia Southern). That's a victory that would make a coach a legend at USF. West Point is down presently, but they would still steamroll our program this year (which kills me to say it). What is Mike Kelly waiting for? Give Bell the keys and let him right this ship. It's pretty bad presently and apathy is setting in quickly - literally fell asleep in the second quarter last night.

You do realize that the Temple defense had given up 108 points in its two games prior to facing us, right? Kerwin’s gameplan got 7 and gave up 7.

I'd went less Cronk and Sands and hit them with speed. Temple is built to stop big backs but speed guys give them problems. 

 

So we want to hand the reins over to an OC that didn't know this stat?

I can come up with plenty of the exact same rankings which are exactly where I said they are but he won’t believe that because it doesn’t fit the narrative he has embraced in order to make sense of our mistake.

Only one on staff that I would give the reins to is King. Other than that they all should most likely be released on Black Saturday

Any idea how these were determined? Criteria wise? Is this during the time USF was in the conference? I can’t seem to make this out.
