The reporter who asked that is originally from Knoxville and now covers UCF sports. He went on twitter after this question and talked about how unrealistic and psycho their fans are down there are. Says they truly believe they should go undefeated every year and be in the playoffs.

I like Gus for some reason. I guess I think he gets dunked on a bit too much and he is a fellow waffle house fanatic.

I had Waffle House for the first time in a little while on Sunday. Had a waffle and double order of scattered, covered, smothered, and chunked hash browns with a black coffee. It was amazing.

He looked invigorated in the press conference and interviews. I'm curious to see how he does down there.

Big time upgrade over their previous coach


How many DL recruits did UCF have starting on the OL because JH refused to recruit OL players in HS? Auburn has 2.

There is truly no better hangover meal in the world than a huge plate of smothered and covered Waffle House hashbrowns washed down with a cup of coffee.

The drain of their rivalry understandably explains UCF's all-time losing records against Cincinnati, Houston, Memphis, and Temple.

Throw in East Carolina, and that gauntlet is basically like the SEC West.

(Thank God UConn left.)

The lack of self awareness truly is a sight to behold.

He looked like a changed man in that presser. Of course I'd look the same if my previous employer had just thrown $10.7MILLION at me to not coach there anymore.

I'm being facetious just to point out the Auburn Administration and BOT's stupidity. I seriously think Gus will do well at a lower level program. He was in over his head at AU.

Ask Danny Boy how life is going with the Tennessee fan's expectations? Talk about clueless. White could write a thick book on his lack of being self-aware.

It's laughably naive.


1. In no way is the pressure at UCF comparable to the pressure at Auburn.

2. The guy is playing with house money at this point. He is getting paid 2 salaries - he can afford to give up one of them. So, he's basically immune to whatever little bit of pressure comes with the UCF gig.

Did SadKnightyNight ask that question ? Sounds like something delusional that would come from him.

UCF thinks way too highly of themselves

Absolutely NOT. Maybe top 75.

Oh really? Name a better location other than Miami, Texas and USC/UCLA? There isn’t any, sorry. Gus came here bc he knows he can build quickly and beat the shite out of everyone. Our goal is to be in the playoff or NY6 which is exactly where we’ll be! If other people don’t like it, too damn bad!
