It will be due to dumb play calling and no player development. Hope I'm wrong but nothing CWT has done here has given me any hope for any different outcome.

I'm sad to say I agree...I just haven't seen much to convince me things are on a significant upward trend and all these coaching and offensive scheme changes just feel like grasping at straws. I don't see how we make a bowl game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be... depending on how the 6 losses were (close or blowouts, which teams, etc)... and it probably really depends on the attendance... that affects USF as much as anything... we need to get people to buy tickets and make donations. I was going to ask the same question. 6 wins and no bowl isn't impossible next year. Real tough decision, bowl eligible but no bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like he brought in some guys that might be able to help him tweak his offense. Hopefully he is willing to have an open mind. The playcalling has to be more creative. I get that he wants to impose his will on teams but you need to have superior talent and we don't have that yet. Maybe in the future if he continues to recruit top notch classes. The defense definitely needed a change, It's ridiculous playing prevent defense as your base defense in college. There is no reason to rush 3 and drop into a soft zone in almost every scenario. We are not playing Tom Brady and Peyton Manning every week. We need an aggressive, attacking defense and that wasn't what we were getting. It's amazing that most of you called him stubborn and now that it seems he is willing to adapt you say he is grasping at straws. I think he realizes his mistakes and is willing to correct them. He is one of the youngest head coaches in college football. anybody who thought he wouldn't go through some growing pains were being unrealistic. Personally I think we are fine and he is showing progress. It wasn't going to be an instant turnaround. He is bringing in plenty of talent and our AD is willing to surround him with some decent coaches that he can learn from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are in one of the softest conferences! I'm optimistic. I think with the changes that CWT is trying to make, we should go bowling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He actually has a fairly challenging schedule, so this might be difficult. We do not play Tulsa or Tulane next year, so that's 2 wins that we don't get there. Plus we have all the eastern teams such as Cincy, UCF, and ECU, along with an improving Temple. We play Navy and Houston which should be tough, and let's not forget FSU, Maryland, and Syracuse. He needs 6 wins to save his job, but he's going to have a tough time getting there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure with the AAC's meager bowl tie-ins if 7 is a lock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
