Why are many of you so skeptical of USF's ability to hire a good coach?

Parts of Tampa practically are the Bronx without the public transportation.

It appears that you haven't been in the parts of Tampa that he's referring to!

Which parts are those?

The parts with the Yankee's Stadium.

 

I wasn't referring to geography per se, more along the lines of NYers living in Tampa.

manhattan coach isnt leaving the bronx for tampa

 

that would be a big step down

 

Agreed.  There's absolutely no way Maisello walks out on Manhattan.  Who on earth would choose a $1 million + per year job and live in Tampa when you can rake in $300K and live in the Bronx...?

My question was, what parts of Tampa are like living in the Bronx? Not, what parts of the Bronx are like the Bronx?

I've seen quite a few posts questioning USF's ability to find a successful successor to Stan Heath. And quite frankly, I do not get it. You look at a our last 3 hires, and initially, they all looked pretty **** good.

Stan Heath was hired after 2 years of NCAAT appearences, something USF fans still dream of, and also a successful assistant stint with MSU. While clearly he did not succeed at USF, back in 2007, this looked like a quality hire.

Skip Holtz camein after 2 conference championships and 4 straight bowl appearances. I'll be honest, just about everyone around here was ecstatic with this hire. In 2009, this looked like a fantastic hire.

Willie Taggart, probably looks like our worst hire so far since McCollum. Decent success in the Sun Belt, but so far, the program seems like it has the potential to turn it around.

And, looking at the list USF is compiling, with Steve Masiello looking to be leading. I think USF will make a good decision in the end.

I agree with you on Heath, Holtz, and Taggert. Many prefer to play Monday morning QB then state this as the last 5 years have been disappointing.

As for having confidence in USF and the AAC to land a good hire, I believe the ultimate issue is our conference. With the demise of the BE, the AAC and new BE will decline as a destination conference to coach in. You are already starting to see this with Pearl and Williams. Heath probably wishes he stayed at Arkansaw. Masiello is probably a perfect hire for USF, young and good pedigree just like Taggart, but I believe USF's biggest challenge to landing him is whether or not he believes he can have another good year or two at Manhattan and land a job in AAC, Big Ten or SEC. I don't believe USF is as desirable as some think.
