You can recruit whoever you want but name a single player who has consistently gotten better at USF under Strong. I can’t name a single one and I’m not over exaggerating at all.

Maybe McCants but he was only here two years. Otherwise more have regressed than than gotten better.

To this day, JG and those spoiled boosters screwed USF by firing Leavitt. Starting to think we are still cursed from that terrible mistake 

We Tennesseed our program by people thinking pulling off miracles with a startup program wasn’t quite good enough, three coaches later we are still waiting to see that person that was going to do it better.

MK could make a huge right to one of USF’s biggest wrongs in their history with a simple rehire

I don’t think he improved from year one to year two. He gained weight, not muscle, and according to a few people on the inside he didn’t do much at all to become a leader when we desperately needed one.

Yeah I went back to look at his stats..he had more catches only but way fewer touchdowns from 7 to 3. 

Ok so not one freaking person has improved with Strong. 

Livingstone is a good example year one he looked like he could be a good player...senior year and nothing no improvement.  If we had CJL or anybody he would have been likely a dominant player on the line.

The question is what are you doing as a head coach to get these players better? We’ve seen tons of regression with no justifiable answers other than injuries which is another monster in itself. I can live with some of the other factors but when you can’t improve the kids on our team I question the antics. 
 

Livingstone, Atterberry, St. Felix are all players we should have seen improvement from, yet we saw regression.

  • Quotes

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."

    Terry Lucas, 09/26/22
