Yet he came here. I guess the thinking is "cut your teeth on a decent but medium-stakes school. If you straight to an elite school and fail publicly you're done, if you never move you fizzle out, so this is a good stomping grounds" but it's pure conjecture It's smart. 6 hours ago, Roaming Bull said: If he sticks it through this contract I think he’ll stay a while. I think he’s a smart dude and has all these folks chasing waterfalls at their own peril. Willie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone have knowledge of whether there is a shred of truth to this? Much as I was a CJL fan, I have to admit, watching this unfold gives me real hope for USF's future. I think MK hit this one out of the park. And yes, the way this is shaping up, I am cautiously optimistic CJS will be better than even a return by CJL. very hard to believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone in this profession were to do it, it would be the Clemson guys. They value family and fit over dollars and facilities. The reason he is here and not elsewhere is Michael Kelly. Every good coach knows he must have the right AD in order to build a sustainable culture and environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure working for MK made a big difference in his decision making. The FSU rumors are kind of hard to believe, but he probably has gotten some calls these past couple years from P5 schools of some interest. Glad he chose us!

Pretty sure there would be no relationship between Tigers and Noles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The FSU rumors are kind of hard to believe, but he probably has gotten some calls these past couple years from P5 schools of some interest. Glad he chose us! You have to realize how dysfunctional the FSU athletic department is at the moment. It’s hard to even put into words. There’s no way Jeff Scott would’ve went there. Not because he doesn’t respect the program as a whole, but he’s not going to jump into an Admin & PR dumpster fire with an AD that he has no experience with. CWT was only focused on rushing to the finish line, winning a national title. CJS is not that way at all. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure that’s his goal, but there are other factors at play. For him to leave Clemson, it had to be the perfect situation - - Somewhere his family felt comfortable - Good relationship with Admin/AD - A place that he has recruiting connections - Dabo’s blessing USF was the perfect match. Will he leave eventually? Yeah, of course. But let’s celebrate the fact that a well thought of coach looked at our program and said, I’m willing to leave the place I love to go there. I feel good about that program. Enough praise can’t be shouted MK’s way for creating that amidst what was a failure on the field. Everyone, do yourselves a favor and stop worrying about 3 years down the road. Celebrate the job MK has done and that this PROGRAM as a whole is where it is. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
