Golesh B+: He took a bunch of misfits, castaways, and players that didn't know how to compete or how to win and built their confidence up. We went from the bottom of the AAC to the upper half. We had

Seeing Puc acknowledge we are moving in a positive direction almost made me shed a tear. It feels good to finally be moving forward.

The season as a whole: A- We might actually end up with a winning record in year one of the Golesh era. Understanding how putrid we've been the last three years, that exceeds all expectation

Then they still had just under 50% of their starters in. So a little over 50% would have been 2nd stringers with some 3rd and 4th sprinkled in. Sounds like "Charlotte was playing 3rd and 4th string players against our 1s" is a bit of an exaggeration but I'm not sure for what purpose. We beat them by 34 points.

As far as a grade is concerned. Anything less than an A would indicate you were expecting more that 6 regular season wins ......... seriously?

I’m pretty sure that’s not how grading works, otherwise CJS was an a student. Many people thought 6 wins were possible and we met that expectation. Many people have an expectation of failure in life, meeting it doesn’t somehow mean they did above average anymore that hitting average is somehow miraculously a perfect “a”. This was a c year and given the competition that’s a one time grace, losing to any of these teams gets people fired at most places that are serious about athletics.

I think you have to grade this season an A. Six wins in twelve games. You would have to add all of the wins of the previous 40 games to get to six wins. To me that's pretty impressive in year one.

And all those seasons were f-, a c acknowledges improvement without being ridiculous about what actually happened this year and who it happened against.

I guess grading can actually work any way you it to, and can be pretty subjective. In this case, it's pretty much boils to opinions and we all know there are no wrong opinions.

I will if I’m available, most of the ones we are mentioned for I have prior commitments and sadly Pittsburgh has zero bowl games.

Yes but you can’t be shocked if some people think meeting expectations gets you a C. Many people thought we could go bowling and go 6-6, how would you expect that they would give an A for looking ugly doing it and the aac being worse than even imagined?

But no reasonable person on earth would be shocked by this anywhere, at least not one that has been graded for anything ever or even heard how grades work in passing.

Grading a college football season is like grading an essay ....

    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.

    Last I checked the scoreboard doesn't have a spot for current bank balance on it.
