The off-season just got a lot more interesting.

Do they hire an AD first and then the HC, or will it be a package deal.  Either way, I hope they completely misfire on this one.

Dang wish they stayed with Heupel a couple more seasons while piling on the losses. Smart of him to jump ship as well.

The next hires by UCF (AD and HC) will be very important for the next decade of their program. One very bright spot for them is that they are about to get big buyout money from Tennessee for White and Heupel. The Heupel buyout is 50% of his total remaining compensation, with a base salary of $1.7 million ($2.3 million total). They should be receiving $2.55 million for him alone. White had a $2.5 million buyout. If they don't alter Shannon's contract, they will also save about $1.3 million in what they were about to pay Heupel versus Shannon.  Over $6 million in extra revenue on the heels of Covid 19 is massive and will help them with shortfalls from 2020 and 2021.

Another observation that was very interesting to me is that, despite their on-field success, the recruiting at UCF actually digressed over the last 3 seasons. How you cannot turn the type of success they experienced into at least landing a few HS 4-stars in Florida is an indictment on the coaching staff and their recruiting. While this may impact them adversely in the short-term, depending on the hires, they may be better off long-term. If Heupel was to have gone 6-6 or 7-5 next season (completely possible) there would have been loud calls for his firing. Also, there would have been a new AD and Heupel and the AD's philosophy may not have meshed well. Their program would have been strapped for cash and facing the possibility of a significant buyout. Instead, they get bailed out by Tennessee and now get to go out and get the guy their AD wants from the jump.

I hope that they hire the wrong AD, make the wrong HC hire, and become mired in a decade of despair that was even worse than what we have been through (at least we had the QF years to keep us off the Skyway).

We probably need to stop being absolutely terrible for this to matter.

The $ is significant for them, especially since they just borrowed money from their foundation.

This still doesn't help us if we do not have 1 QB on the roster.  Just sayin...

    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.
