Larry Scott HC?

Past performance is far and away the best indicator of future success. It’s not even a debate.

Im not even sure what this is attempting to say. Are you currently employed? If so, did you bring a resume to the interview? Have a reference? A college degree?

Yeah, gotta be honest, it boggles my mind that someone would ever argue the counter point.

Was Holtz a good coach? 

If you remove Flowers from the offense, was Taggart a good coach?

Was Strong a good coach?

These were all supposed to be good coaches, and two crapped the bed and one left for more money...

It seems that assuming "good coaches" ending up being "good coaches" is just as much as a dice roll as anything else. Strong was supposed to be a good coach, national championships, winning records, etc etc

How did that work out? Lost 14 of our last 18 games

If you are going to roll the dice, which we certainly have for the past 10 years, why not roll the dice on a former player who has coaching experience? Why not give him a shot? Give him 2 years... why not?

We need a life'r... We have a better chance of a life'r with a former player than we do with this coaches who are just going to use us as a stepping stone to the bigger paychecks

Past performance is ZERO indicator for future success. So why not try? 

LOL

Strong was awful before he got here. He was a terrible hire from day 1. We hired a failure. He couldn't win at Texas

Taggart designed a top 5 offense in the country. same thing at oregon in first year. Totally turned around WKU.

I believe Holtz was probably handcuffed here. They tightened up recruiting standards I believe which was great for APR but terrible for actual wins and losses

hiring a former player with little to no experience would be a total calamity we would be a laughingstock

So what past success, did Holtz, Taggart and Strong have, that they brought to the program?

Did Holtz take us to the Sugar Bowl? Or the Orange bowl like he did with his past teams?

Did Taggart recruit /develop a Heisman candidate like he did at Standford?

Did Strong bring us two national championships like he did when we was with the Gators?

Please tell me, what successes that Holtz, Taggart and Strong had in the past, that they brought to us at USF?

What else could you possibly go by when hiring someone? Mike Trout, we're not giving you $400 million, your past performance tells us nothing of how you're going to play in the future. QF, we're not sure if you're going to be starting on Saturday, I know you had a great game last week, but that doesn't tell us anything about what you might do this weekend.

Already are a laughing stock and have been for the past decade. 

We'll get a new coach, and two things will happen in less than 3 years - A) he does well and moves on to more money B) he looses horribly and we are right back to where we started

We've had two B's and one A

And we are on LIFE SUPPORT as a program right now. Literally on Critical Life Support.

sorry but going 11-2 and even 10-2 doesn't qualify as laughingstock.

we are not a destination job. get that wishful thought out of your head.

Seriously?  There is plenty of information out there for most of your questions, but why are you bringing up championships Strong won as a coordinator, and players Taggart developed as a position coach?  

Respectfully, do your own research.  The last three coaches USF hired had solid success at other programs prior to joining USF.

Sir, kindly remove your defeatist attitude from this program
