Well, at least holding down the current class.

He said, "you guys can call me anytime and feel free to call me anytime and feel free to call me". He gave them his number and he was like a natural on the phone as far as recruiting. I think that tells you a lot about Mr. Scott Stricklin about what he believes in and what he represents and come in and step up with recruiting like he did."

That kind of rhetoric almost makes me feel like they've already got someone, and it's a big someone. Stricklin has made me very happy for the past few weeks -- first having the brass balls to fire McElwain, then the way he's handled this.

Of course, if Norvell is our next HC, I take all that back and we're coming armed with the teeth.

Norvell would be a homerun.
I'd make Kelly, Frost and TAGGART say no first. Then I'd go all in on Norvell and Campbell.

No.

Kelly, Stoops, Mullen are homeruns.

Frost, Campbell are great hires.

Strong, Kiffin, Taggart are good hires.

Norvell is ''decent'' bordering on ''meh''. What does he have different than McElwain? Do you actually think he's going to have immediate success with how difficult his offense is to run?

We need a real hire this time around, and Norvell is not a real hire.

i think strong beats frost this season.

ucf roster ranked 55th in talent while usf ranks 59th.

TIFWIW i guess.

I'm starting to think we have a real shot at Kelly the more time goes on. I'd take Strong, though.

He would fricking smash Florida recruiting and maintain our defense -- or at least get it back to what it was within two years.

He has a dynamic offense that's putting up 500 yards of offense and almost 30 points a game.

Strong could do very well at UF, and I'd be excited if he were named HC.

I think Mac has done so bad that we all we be excited about the next coach unless it’s a coach with a sub 500 record .

In no way is Norvell a home run...he isn't an elite recruiter, no ties to the area, got destroyed vs Frost, and is just holding court to what Fuente built. No. he is the exact opposite of a home run. He is Mac like. 50/50.

Campbell is far bigger a hire as well. His work at Toledo and Iowa State(the Kentucky of the Big 12) is amazing. The Big 12 is the best conference this year, and he is freaking beating top 5 teams...at IOWA STATE!!!!

Taggart is overrated though. Good recruiter but his win loss record is...questionable when seeing how long it took him to figure it out at USF in comparison to Campbell and Frost at their schools, and his lackluster start at Oregon.

Thank you. Norvell a homerun? Getouttahea.

I'd be on the Kif' train before Norvell.

USF vs. UCF if the Kelly rumors are unfounded will be big. If Strong beats Frost, it'll really hurt Frost's stock.
