What the heck do you guys expect him to say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's easy to point to more wins when you remove Rutgers and Lousiville from your schedule and add Tulsa. Not a shred of improvement. Worse yet, no sign that the offense is even figuring out the system, if there is one. This is a dumpster fire. I sorry but you have to be crazy to suggest that the USF defense is worse from when Cosh and Holtz were at USF. Sorry, but this is a very terrible statement to even suggest about the defense. CWT's defense is better than what Holtz brought our defense to when he left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not great, not even good, but it was better than the worst of the worst that we had in 2013. Offens was terrible. It may have improved from last year but our offense was rock bottom. USF defense was a top 25 defense last season. USF lost players to graduation on defense so we knew our defense would take a step back. Chuck B did a good job at what he had to work with. We had a lot of young defensive players getting playing time which will pay off dividends in the next few years. Chuck B didnt want to change from his 4-3 style, he was told that he needed to run a 3-4 style in order to get more of our better personel on the field. Should have just kept with 4-3 but that was not his call. Blame CWT for that. The offense sucks. We made every teams defense seem like the 85' Bears. Take away Marlon Mack and we may have the similar offense from last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also said it's not like I took over Bama. He seems to think he has done a good job. Downward spiral - 8-5, 5-7, 3-9 - Check No longer on that spiral - 2-10, 4-8 - Check Not Alabama - A Corvette but not Bama - Check Looks like everything he said was true ... Pretty sure no matter who our coach was we were going to improve from 2-10 last year. He contributed to the downward spiral in year 1. No need to get into the whole what he was walking into because I know it was really, really bad. However, a good coach finds a way to beat an FCS team at home. We stopped the bleeding because we found a way to beat Western Carolina, SMU, Tulsa, and UCONN? We will have stopped the bleeding when we beat a team that is respectable and not the absolute trash of college football. We're still bleeding as far as I am concerned.

I say we are still bleeding until USF goes back to a bowl game. We cant keep playing teams like SMU and make their defense look like the '85 Bears.

This team is headed in the right direction culturally and much of the behind the scenes heavy lifting will be realized next season. If you're done with the product move on. Don't need you. The attitudes remind me of when I receive calls from customers complaining about X, Y or Z and telling me they'll never use me/us again. In the next breath they want money off the product/service. I then laugh and tell them 10 seconds ago you told me you'd never use me/us again. that is why an educated and informed person doesnt simply look at the win total and say "we improved 100% blah blah blah" usf is a train wreck we have no qb for the future usf football doesnt pass the smell or eye test Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
