I didn't think this was possible or a best practice in the middle of the season? Wild.

UCF makes a ton of TV money now--makes a buyout like this easy.

Caponi has 3 months left.  Is it really that expensive of a "buyout"?  Hell, just elevate someone on staff on an interim basis through the end of the year.

It's not a buyout at this point. We either pay him 3 more months while he's here, or we pay him 3 more months and kick him out. It's net zero regardless of choice.

The benefit is we now have an open role that people can start being recruited and interviewed for.

Exactly.  You worded it better than I did.

And assuming Odom would be the interim, I would hope that would help prevent a max exodus of defensive commitments.

We have 2 LBs, a CB and an Edge player.

Call me insensitive, but if we lose a player who is upset because we're changing coaches who are producing the worst defense in the conference, and one of the worst in football, does that tell us a lot about that young man?

I've been curious about what runs through the heads of all the high school recruits. Are they thinking "wow our defense sucks" or are they excited about the opportunity to make a positive influence?

On the other hand, are the offensive recruits excited to play here and put up big numbers, or are they discouraged by the poor defense that has made the difference in us being 5-3 instead of 7-1?

Wait a minute.  You can't fire an underperforming coordinator with a terrible offense/defense in his first season!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

He needs time to get HIS players to run his scheme!
