Brother... I 100% get your point and understand your point

1) Any coach we get, is a temp job. Including Larry Scott.. they are gone in 3-4 years (noted)

2) Since they are going to leave in 3-4 years anyways, it's silly to give that opportunity to a previous player and coaching assistant from USF. It's better to give that money and opportunity to a candidate from any other college (LSU, Clemson, FAU, etc)... but not one that was on the USF football team (noted)

Got it... loud and clear

 

 

the guy isn't qualified.

I graduated from USF. I would stay at the job forever. Does that make me a viable candidate?

I wanted Calvin Magge back before we hired Holtz and again when we hired Taggart.

He was connected to the university and was QUALIFIED. Larry Scott is not

Scott has been an OC for one season, so he is ready for the complete burden of HC.

And after 4 years when Scott goes something like 4-8, 6-6, 10-2, 11-1 then leaves for a 5-7M per year HC gig what will you say? 

THANK YOU! 

Next?

Problem is while I like Scott his resume isn't exactly impressive when you take the USF ties away. If Scott is the best candidate bring him on if the not I don't want to take a guy a step down just because he's a USF guy. 

One thing you can't take away from him, and it's on his resume... he was here during our inception, and was part of the USF coaching staff at our peak

Sep 6th 1997 - on the field

2007 when we were ranked #2 - part of the USF coaching staff

2018 - joins UF on two amazing Gators seasons

That's gotta mean something.... that's gotta hold some weight or water in the eyes of the decision makers

Okay, maybe like Shaun King, he is seasoned enough to be offensive coordinator....

But HC is a BIG jump from position coach.

Absolutely... but he's got 11 years of experience in the USF program

4 as a player, 7 in the coaching ranks

He's been part of USF football, longer than the last 3 coaches we've had combined

Again, what in his experience says he is ready to be OUR head coach? His failure of an offense at Tennessee where he was the offensive coordinator? The multiple years of experience as a position coach?  

His experience says next step is OC. 

IF we hire him as HC we have no guarantees he will stick around after two "successful" seasons. 

 

Can he be a candidate?  Sure, why not. Is he the front runner? Hell no.

100%%

They've got 4-6 candidates ahead of him. Taggart, the guys from Clemson, Lane Kiffin, he's in the middle of the list

    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.
