Point of order... He won 9 games 3 times. We were 9-2 our last year as an independent, playing a mostly CUSA schedule.  Do you know why there was heartbreak? Because there was hope, expectations, and something real to play for.

Kiffin is an interesting dude... His time at Tennesee was insane. I think I read about it via an article somewhere on this board. Guy was a maniac.  Honestly, with all his quirks he might work out but that has to be the riskiest hire out there.

He's toxic. He reminds me of Jose Mourinho in soccer. He can definitely get you some wins but sooner or later there's a fire in the dumpster and the dumpster is your program. A complete narcissist. But maybe he's learned his lesson. Oh, wait... https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/27890527/fau-coach-lane-kiffin-fined-5000-blind-refs-tweet

Why must we always disparage coaches that have done good things during their time here.  Leavitt and Taggart did good work during their time here. Period.  Skip and Charlie were handed teams

I think your... IN A BCS/P5 conference is the key here... UCF has been great the last few years right? How many conference championships would they have won in the ACC? I'm going to say zero with how

Definitely interesting, but his shenanigans happened a decade ago. He was also in his early 30s, so he was super young and probably had a ton of ego.

He has been super quiet the last few years and I'm guessing he finally got the message he needed to get his act together. 

He wouldn't be my number 1 but after the Clemson duo I'm not sure there is a more proven option.

Why work at a bottom dweller then get fired and have to go back to CUSA. USF is easier to win at than both of those schools and he would set himself up for a higher profile school.

Both those schools are a death sentence for coaching.

Why leave a C-USA/G5 program in Florida that you've built into a continuous championship contender for an AAC/G5 program in Florida that you would have to build into a championship contender?

Yeah. And we're the AAC.

Such a big difference.

 

The fact of the matter is no HC has jumped from C-USA to AAC. With good reason.

So, I've scoured the interwebs, twits, and message boards, and this is what I gathered our staff will be:

HC  Steve Spurrier

OC  Willie Taggart 

DC  Jim Leavitt 

Or not.

Please elaborate on the unique situation, and why it would result in him considering a G5 lateral move instead of an SEC job.

And before someone says again that Kiffin would be getting offered bottom-tier SEC gigs, remember how Les Miles was happy to go to freaking Kansas.

If any of our coaching options get any P5 HC offer you can cross them off the list. P5 money and rewarded if you fail with a buyout... So yes, he is probably P5 bound and would be dumb to come here.

    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.
