Makes me wonder if UCF or Tulane would have stated winning without their new OCS…..

They won because they hit on their coaches, not where they played ....

1998 Tulane has something to say about "starting to win without an OCS."

Tulane also was in the SEC before their new stadium. They left I think in the thirties or forties.

I still think winning matters more than anything else.

I still think you’re right.

They didn’t sustain that. They lost their coach to another school when they played in the SuperDome. The coach they have now stayed and they won the Cotton Bowl

Got to find a coaching staff. Had one before when we started the program and some thought they were expendable

I didn’t need the health insurance fee, or the wellness fee, would have opted out of the environmental fee if we had one.  Hell I would have opted out of all of the fees as would most everyone else therefore making these fees worthless.  If we can opt out of that fee then we should be able to opt out of all of them. 

absolutely. couldn't agree more. shouldn't have to pay for a service you don't need or use.

Well we only had one other coach out of the 4 have 0.500 or better record. Willy looked the part but didn't stay long enough to make an impact and got paid. He failed at FSU and FAU miserably but did okay at Oregon. His successor at fsu and Oregon did much better so that shows something. Willy did have one of the best recruiting classes ever at usf . You are not going to move up in fbs football playing sub 0.500 football or winning one fbs game in three seasons. So now it is time to see how first year head coach with little experience as an OC and the fired FAU dc work out round 2.
