    Reckon 4 wins in 3 years does not meet the standard. Place has been a dumpster fire since they fired Jim Leavitt for cause, and ended up paying him handsomely.

    He was OC at clemson in 2017 when they beat Alabama for the NC. He and CBN are close friends. Wonder if Billy hires him to call plays.

    Maybe they've got one or two good players we could get to transfer to UF.

    Sure you can. You just don't tell anyone about it until the end of the year, haha.

    Pretty amazing that today a coach isn’t assured three years even at USF.

    The more ridiculous the pay scale the more ridiculous the expectations of instant success.

    Something TAAM isn’t seemingly following.

    Perhaps they are following the Harbaugh plan at UM or hoping for like results.

    Would think all his old Clemson buddies at OU will come calling about a coaching job next year. Dabo would likely take back as well

    I dunno, would think Dabo would be all over getting Chad Morris back to run the O but Morris was back coaching high school.

    He was awful. He didn't deserve another day on the job.

    Incorrect... Taggart had 'em going pretty good and Charlie had some success taking over Taggart's talent.

    I'm thinking Scott Frost might be a good choice. He bombed at Nebraska, but did a heck of a job at UCF. That success is relevant to the USF job.

    Well, from all those silly folks "out there." We would never do this in SmartFanLand. NEVER!

    Clearly the team wasn’t winning many games, but I am just pointing out that the notion of “deserve” is changing. Remember the big deal that was made when Florida fired Zook in the middle of his third year? I think that was the first time that a program had ever fired a coach so soon for solely football reasons. Obviously, it’s unlikely that all the worst coaches in history have been hired in the last 20 years.
