I believe in Coach Strong when he was hired but each year the talent level under him continues to decline significantly. 

These players just can't do the little things (or big things) to win games and get the job done.

Each year, I would get excited with Coach Strong's recruiting classes, but I just don't see enough talent to replace what is leaving the program (Wilcox, Cronkrite, Livingstone, etc.). I thought Coach Strong's best quality was recruiting, but I am just not seeing it!

The Offensive Line is terrible. I thought some of the O-Line recruits over the last few years would pan out, but only Jennings is any good.

Coach Strong needs to get fired ASAP!

Verbals which doesn’t mean much to me because recruiting season is crazy like that.

So Tag left a full cupboard?  CCS has had 2 full classes. Ideally you want to play mostly upperclassmen in the trenches. The team had nothing behind Flowers in the most important position on the field. Unfortunately Barnett got hurt this year. The team did enough to win.

We lost 2 commits and picked up one committ. Teams lose and gains commits all of the time. But when it happens to USF the world is coming to an end?

People want to rag on Strong for not having a QB named Flowers or Bridgewater, yet some quickly forget Taggart did literally the same exact thing, if not worse. 
 

Strong brought in a QB last year that was able to get us bowl eligible. Taggart was never even close to that with someone not named QF. And if you want to blame it on “Taggart not having anyone to work with,” go ahead and look at Mike White’s stats, our 2 year starter before Flowers, AFTER he left USF.

It would not surprise me to see Rodemaker decommit soon. He is taking an official visit to Pittsburgh on the 30th

Wishful thinking on your part. That interview was a fluff piece.

    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.
