The AAC, pathetic or not, is the conference we are in for the time being. It would be nice to dominate this conference like UCF has. So UCF beat up on a bad conference. Right now we are one of the reasons this conference is terrible. It would be nice to be able to dominate even a bad conference. At this point in the program there isn't much more to aspire to than what UCF has already achieved.

 

That is correct. If the question was "while you're in the AAC what team in that conference would you like to be", then sure UCF would probably be the one. The question was "is UCF the type of program he wants to build here at USF"? The question was about the program in general, big picture.

Willies answer, while not the PC as some want it to be (I like it), could be correct. Don't model after UCF, model after Stanford or Alabama. Yeah we're not in big conference and don't get those recruits, but he wants a program with that success. UCF has some success, who knows if it will be sustained.

In ten years it could be flipped again and USF writers could be saying where's the smug and etc. cyclical.

Also, who reads the papers? Lol

There is no sustained success at the elite level in college football anywhere. Look at Michigan and Florida now. Where was Stanford 7 or 8 years ago? Or Alabama in the mid-2000s? These are some of the best programs in college football with perennial top 10 recruiting classes and ten times our history and they still suffer from the cyclical nature of college football.

I get Willies answer. He had to say that IMO.

This too. If he says "Yes, I want to build this program to be a UCF" our already pissed off fan base would lose it.

Seriously.

Last year FSU was the national champs while Florida had their worst season in 30 years, but do you think Muschamp would've been caught dead saying anything even resembling "I think we should be like the Noles!!" ???

Take a look at how many key playmakers and how much experience they lose. Plus how much longer will GOL go? They will fall back to reality soon enough

Bianchi is an idiot. They have enjoyed a nice run. Now just shut up and enjoy what is left of it.

u guys said the same thing after Blake Bortles & Storm Johnson declared early

And clearly you have not been the same team. You will continue to deteriorate. You had a special year last year. Take it for what it was.

Also Penn St, Miami, Texas all programs go thru cycles...Usf will be back but it starts with a solid hire. Which the last coaches were bust it appears.

I think CWT let some emotion he's learned in the past year get the best of him. Last year and at WKU he shrugged off rivalry games saying every game is a rivalry game. Only a fool wouldn't want to be like a program at the top of the conference, with only 1 in conference loss in 2 seasons. It's like he's saying he'd rather be a bottom dweller which so far he's doing very well.

 

I take it differently. ucf's success has come against the bottom dwellers of our conference currently, and the bottom dweller's of what's left of conference USA now. The absolute garbage of college football. Is that what we are striving to be? We want to be the best player on the field because we are 21 years old playing against 16 year olds?

 

Taggart wants to build a program that can compete with anyone, beat anyone on any given night, and get out of this god forsaken conference.

Baylor wasn't a bottom dweller.

 

No they weren't, but outside of last year UCF's success is strictly against exactly what I said. A few years ago they won the CUSA championship, won like 10 games or something like that and didn't beat a single team with a winning record. That's not what I want to be sorry.

CUSA has a conference championship game so explain how they won that against a team with a losing record. Your facts seem to be askew. Leavitt,won the big games, lost in conference, never sniffed a BCS game, never ended the season ranked. UCF ended the season ranked, in CUSA.

Exactly. USF will be back.

And if UCF palyed in the same Big East that we played in they never would've sniffed a top 25 ranking let alone a conference championship.

 

My facts seem to be askew?

 

2010 UCF 11-3, Conference USA Champions

 

Who they beat and record that season.

 

  1. FCS South Dakota: Who Cares
  2. University of Buffalo: 2-10
  3. UAB: 4-8
  4. Marshall: 5-7
  5. Rice: 4-8
  6. East Carolina: 6-7
  7. Houston: 5-7
  8. Tulane: 4-8
  9. Memphis: 1-11
  10. SMU: 7-7
  11. Georgia: 6-7

Please tell me again what I said is wrong. They won 11 games and not one of those teams had a WINNING record when it was all said and done. Is that what USF wants to be right now in the next few seasons? Yes. Is that what Willie Taggart want to ultimately build this program into? Hell no. He wants to surpass that by a long shot.

At least UCF can beat bad teams. Taggart can't even do that, and has never shown he could.

At this point in time, GOL is a much better coach. Our teams have similar talent and if Taggart was any good would have been playing UCF for the conference championship.

2 straight years we crush UCF in turnovers and end up losing. That is a huge sign we are a very bad team. Any average offense would have beaten UCF the last two games the way the defense played.

We cant? We beat every losing team on our schedule and went winless against every school with a .500 record or better.
