Officially embraced mid-major

[sloan1919]

It is clear from the admin’s actions (e.g., lack of funding, doing the bare minimum on facilities, focusing only on coaches without HC experience). We’ve come a long way from those, “ we deserve to sit at the table USF, UF, UM, FSU”  billboards. Are you guys okay with this regression? Have you accepted it?

Huh.  We just built an IPF, we're talking about and working on an OCS, we appeared to be prepared to throw wheelbarrows of money at the top coaching candidate out there (a current HC), and we ended up with one of the top coordinators in the country who led the best offense in the country.   How exactly do you get that our current administration (AD, Pres, BOT, etc) are content with our current standing?

Nope, it’s one persons vision of embracing and driving failure, eventually their reign of terror will come to an end and someone with visions of success, growth and disruption will come in and things can change as they have at other places in worse shape that had people not afraid to disrupt the Apple carts come in. VPMK craves stability and driving the ncaa machine he has been a cog in, a status quo usf is a failed usf we need revolution and VPMK is just not that person. Ransom Stoddard is a perfectly fine leader but only after a person like Tom Doniphon revolutionizes the dynamic of the town, we aren’t at the point where we need stability, we need to run away from it.

Huh?

We are 15 years late on the IPF...30 years on the OCS...were prepared for one guy, but nothing  else and paid a guy who isnt qualified.

We’ve been a lower tier program since the Big East split up. We are irrelevant in CFB. Thinking a coach would choose USF over any P5 is a delusion.

No. That would be your mother. She still working OBT in Orlando or did she get a promotion to Nebraska in Tampa? Would be nice to catch up with her again.

What are you smoking? "Talking about and working on an OCS". You realize they have been "taking about" it for over a decade. We consistently understand our peers regarding football. UCF (as an AAC member) spent 32% more than we did this year. The IPF was a minimum requirement. Are peers have had bigger and better ones years ago.

I’m afraid Judy’s swamp at USF is just too deep.
