I still can't get over the fact that someone in the media actually asked Gus that question about going from Auburn to UCF with a straight face

I'm little surprised that Gus told UCF he hasn't had to interview for a job since his high school days.

Did Houston Nutt not interview him? or Chizik? or Auburn's search committee after they canned Chizik?

Can't wait for Gus to get to FIU and have to play before 20,000 screaming fans.

Maybe the reporter was on to something, UCF fans demand a fake NC every 21 years.

challenges.

I watched the whole press conference and the entire thing was basically "Hey, so, remember when we beat you? We're as good as all those other teams you played in your old league right? Don't you think?" It was really damn cringey.

Their entire bubble (media and fans, I guess) have truly convinced themselves they are basically a SEC program playing in the American - both on level of play and atmosphere of their little stadium.

They asked him about the 2017 national championship too and he was like "Yea......well......they had a good team"

Gus should say, "You will find out when I collect my buyout money in the next five years you dumbasses!"

And yet they aren't at the same time. They're basically a 37 year old meth head who won $500,000 on a scratch off and thinks he's Bill Gates now.

Coaching at an SEC school and sharing a state with Nick Saban and Alabama isn't a pressure cooker, I guess.

I can't wait for "Gus, in some ways, would say that USF/UCF is actually more intense than Alabama/Auburn?"

The pressure cooker of having to go into 45k capacity stadiums and recruit against Tulsa.

What’s the problem with that? We are a top 20 coaching destination and the UCF fans go into a frenzy over the team.
