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.

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

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.

Yes, that's exactly what I'm trying to get some people to understand.

Lane Kiffin would be dumb to come here.

No if we're his best option. My guess he is targeting an SEC gig

Anyone who thinks we are Kiffin's best option this cycle is in complete denial.

If the P5 schools don't want him, then we're probably his best option ... I guess we could argue merits of other G5 openings, but why bother

If he wants his last shot at a top level-ish head coaching job to be Ole Miss or Arkansas then yea he should take it.

You are missing the entire point. USF/AAC/G5 is not enough of an upgrade over FAU/CUSA/G5 for Kiffin to make that leap, with the hopes of upgrading again within a couple of years.

He already has a program built and competing for championships. If he's going to leave, it will be for a P5 gig. Not for another school he has to build from scratch to still not be nationally relevant. If he doesn't get the P5 offer he's looking for, spend another year at FAU, win another conference championship, see what is out there next year. That's better than taking over a lesser program in a slightly tougher conference where if you bolt after a year, it reflects poorly on you.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills...

Our school/conference would absolutely be viewed as an upgrade by many.  I have no idea how Kiffin feels

    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.
