Respect is greater than a coach. We’ve had our chances and always blow the important game. 

That's for sure. Can't seem to finish it doesn't matter who was coaching which is strange?

I always set the expectation at 15-0, why be down about losses before the season even starts? I typically have more than enough time for that during the season.

Yes, his two 8-5 seasons ('08 & '09) with wins over #18 Florida State, #20 WVU and #13 Kansas and even UCF was a move downhill?  The 9-4/8-5 plateau in BCS football in years 10-12 of existence got

It’s probably just a coincidence

But it's not really a complete cause and effect situation, though ...

USF football has been a roller coaster ride.

We’ve been fighting for respect each and every year. 

Remember when the sports commentators for espn and cbs would cover our games and pump up our brand? Last season their comments were pretty negative re: our losing ways. Who was it in the one game that actually seemed to get pissed and wondered out loud, what the hell was going on with CS? Might have been Dilfer?? That said it all right there that night.

Agreed. I think my point is that respect has to be earned. Other than one year (and beating a few big names) we have not won consistently enough to have national respect. Further, we have no conference championships which at this point is an issue.

I find it depressing to constantly reminisce about the past, we are where we are because of things within and out of our control.  I doubt we ever get back to a P5 and #2 ranking and to continue to make that the bar only ensures we stay miserable.  I agree with NEB, let’s go win a conference championship, go to a BCS and savor in the moment when or if it happens.

I think we're more like a flume ride. Up and up to a nice height (couple of weeks in 2007) and then a plunge. Hopefully we've now exited the floating log and have moved to new ride ....

Don't be depressed..Come to the light. We have to go on about the past because weve pretty much worn out all the jabber about CJS and the future what if's. People were getting beat up for being positive about our prospects because...we didnt have a Spring preview, we haven't played as yet or practiced and we have the **** plague unknowns. Personally, I have been impressed with the dialogue and the posts on this topic thus far...good conversation, easy going, pretty much upbeat.
