I hope you are right but as of right now CCS is still employed and he should have been fired weeks ago, so Kelly's not insipiring a ton of confidence that he is capable of handling this situation. I wonder if his reluctance to fire Strong is more than just financial or if there is some doubt in his mind that he can find the right person to replace him with - with the excuse of "CCS wasn't my hire" gone he'll now be on the hook for the results of who he hires. By not firing Strong he doesn't have to stick neck out and will still have his built in excuse for future failure. Not a bad way to look out for yourself and suck out extra paychecks from USF.

If he keeps ccs, then he is sticking his neck out just as much as if he fires him probably more so since the overwhelmingly popular (and logical one) is to send him packing.

It’s him again. I’ve come to terms with this. See if he pulls a rabbit out of , say, something like a magic hat... portal...magic hat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is nothing like Wall Street. Maybe you can use that analogy if we were FSU, UF, BAMA, Texas, ND etc but right now we are USF. We just don’t have the big donors or boosters like the big programs do. If we did you would of heard something by now. So we have to trust what we have. MK will do his job whether we like it or not.

Not a bad strategy since it likely extends Kelly's tenure 1-2 more years. All he has to do is claim poverty internally and he gets to avoid having to hire "his guy". If Kelly doesn't have confidence in his own ability to identify and hire talent - in his 17 months he hasn't fired or hired a coach in a major sport - then I can understand how being scared to fail in hiring the next guy would make him nervous to move in from Strong. I get your point and I would counter then he doesn't belong in his position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
