I wouldn't say Bell was 100% responsible for Williams...  Williams was a commit to us for months before he flipped to go P5 and the process was started when his recruiter (Dugans) left and basically brought the kid with him.  He ended up flipping again to Tennessee but he was commited to USF for months before any of that nonsense started.  Williams liked what he saw from USF before Bell was here so It's hard to say "he brought him in" especially because transfers have such an abbreviated process in the way they are recruited compared to HS kids.. 

Williams was interested in going to Valdosta State to play Bell. One of the reasons why the 3 kids from Columbia were coming here. Bell has that connection and brought him in.

This is the problem for KB.  The offense didnt improve in the 2nd half of the season.  We looked completely lost and totally unprepared.

A KB hire would be a real tough sell to the fanbase.

Last 4 games Jennings was hurt, cronkrite was out 2 of the 4. And last 4 games were the best teams in our conference! We had more yards and competed with Cincinnati. We missed like 5 field goals. We couldn’t block temple dline so we had No shot (Jennings got hurt 2nd drive of the game) Memphis and ucf were just way better than us plus, we didn’t have a scholarship qb who could hit a open wr like high school.

The Columbia kids also have a coach that's a USF alum, that's also Jordan Smiths father....

I know there are alot of reasons that KB was not successful and alot of it was not his fault.  Fair or not I'm just saying that the perception of the fanbase.  I do think he could be successful here eventually. 

It does worry me some though, even with alot of deficiencies, we still had some talent on Offense and he wasn't able to get the most out of what we did have it didn't seem like to most of us.

we definitely had better talent on offense than many teams that finished ranked higher scoring wise than us. you can't tell me there were #121 offenses that had more talent than us in the country. there is no way UConn has more talent than us on offense

KB will probably be at some other university next year and I bet within two years that offense will be scoring points in a decent fashion. It just was not going to work here...too much transition coupled with a lousy head coach was a recipe for disaster.
