Aren't these "what if" scenarios exactly what we used to make fun of UCiF for? My how far we've fallen.

UCiF's were different, every what if was what kept them from winning every game in any sport.   It's fun to ponder, but we have a lot of what ifs in our history that we let just lie.   Prob

The better what if IMO is if we had an OCS in 2016 - it’s possible that we keep CWT for 2017, thereby missing CCS and CJS altogether 

In this scenario, we probably have winning records in 2018 & 2019 (regardless of the coach), propelling USF into the Big12 potentially 

I don't think an OCS would have had that level of impact on keeping a rising HC from getting poached by the P5. We've had an OCS and still lost Frost to Nebraska and Heupel to Tennessee. I think the what if scenario that would have gotten you to the Big 12 was successfully hiring another young assistant instead of low effort retread. Even with a young guy it's still a gamble like you saw with CJS but from day 1, Strong just wanted to put the least effort lipstick on a CWT assembled roster to land back at a P5 job ASAP.

Better yet what if we just kept cjl and called it a day ?

Or could have kept the only guy with a perfect record and a bowl win.

What if we'd started a football program in 1980. :FIREdevil:

Why would that have mattered? Curious as I was not around back then.

Obviously nothing is guaranteed but the one key difference that virtually every current P5 school has over us is an older football program ....

    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.
