To me, the search committee has been effective in that way. Even Andy Katz has not even pushed some of his friends towards the USF jobs like he has done in the past. We can all thank McMurphy for reporting all the coaches that turned down USF in the past for USF using the search firm route. Not many will know how many coaches turned USF down this time around. B.D doesn't always make sense. But when he does, I agree with him. Edited March 22, 2014 by charsibb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearl and Williams were attainable for the right money. Smart hasn't held out the last three years for a USF offer. It's just not gunna happen. Unless there's someone else I'm unaware of we're targeting, USF missed their chance for a home run splash hire with Williams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Harlan dialing) (Smart answers): Hello? Harlan: Hi, Shaka, it's Mark Harlan, the new AD at USF. Smart: San Francisco? Harlan, No, Southern...uh, South Florida. Listen, what's it gonna take for you to be our coach here? Smart: (says whatever) Harlan: Done. Pack your bags, the presser's in 4 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USF is like St. Pete for coaches - it's where they go to die... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is whether USF had the "right money" to get any of them ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hated the AD and wanted out that much.We were busy signing a search firm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
