Josh further saying “Could still get done, I'm not told that it's not dead.”

 

’Not Dead’ isn’t a healthy prognosis.

Sooooo.... we hope Clemson loses against OSU?

IMO that won't be a problem.

Scott Frost was able to make an arrangement to finish the UCF gig as HC and do USF.  It Scott is willing to step away from recruiting and just coach, I think something can be worked out.

Same for staff and facilities.  USF needs to make a commitment to land a big fish like Scott.  Though I'd say we need to bigger buyout as an assurance if we dedicate resources to facility upgrades and coaching staff pay.

Kirby Smart did the same thing - he basically worked two jobs before finishing the NC game as Alabama's DC.

It has to be lawyer stuff at this point. Hard to imagine it's something that would "kill" the deal, but likely quite a bit of negotiating & revising

I can see him haggling over coaching staff budget and facilities.  He will want an IPF and maybe more.  And he will want to pay his coaches so he can pull in better assistants.

God I hope Mike Kelley and Associates are a lot smarter than Mark Harlan and who ever he used.

Cat's out of the bag at this point.  Gotta close the deal.

it would be really tough for me to pull for OSU. Their fans are more obnoxious than gator fans

Have to imagine staff budget at the very least was discussed during their initial meetings. The way this has all went down seems like a contract wording issue

Well he fired Charlie Strong, so far so good on that front

It wouldn't be USF without high stakes and drama.  Nothing is ever easy for our ole Alma Mater.

Make it happen MK but don't give away the Bank.....No Pressure!
