What makes him qualified?

19 yrs. in coaching. Successful in being on staff for multiple rebuilds. True OC for at least the last 3 hrs. OC for top 10 offense for 3 yrs. Recruiting coordinator for high rated classes. 
Now tell me why he’s not qualified.

Forgot the stadium. Look at budgets. Compare there’s to ours. We aren’t investing like they are, period regardless of how we spend it.

Please link so we can ....

It’s public info.

quick summary USF total budget: $2.3b UCF total budget: $2.1b; USF endowment:  $900m UCF endowment: $200m

Total athletics USF: $60m UCF: $75

football ops: USF $15.5m UCF $23.5

basically they outspend us in dollars and in percentage of football of overall budget.

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. 

I would but I'm not a coach.  Also I don't need that many millions.

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?

First of all, that billboard was done by one (or group) of the overzealous fans and certainly not something I would condone after just one regular season victory. Don't use "we" for me.

Next, if you are complaining about lack of investment, this is not like the 1980's Bucs where old man Culverhouse was hoarding all of the money.  You and I and everyone else who supports the program are the investors and if you want to see more, you have to consider investing more. 

Next, we do have plenty on here who have graciously invested in the program and are unhappy with the results as well as the direction.   They are cancelling said investiment and I have no issues with that. Most of us have different levels of limitations. 

Finally, where do you even see an inkling that anyone on here is okay or has accepted all of the losing?

i am so happy you started this topic

we dont know what we are.

why built on ocs until we straighten the program out and become respectable

 

we act(hire) like we are a low mid major

we hired this guy because he gave a great interview? fau hires coach herman. this is all so depressing.

he was never a head coach

being a head coach requires far different skills than being an oc

please list the schools  where he had high rated recruited classes. recruiting for tennessee is far different than recruiting for usf.

May as well embrace where we are currently at and win here.
