[Mean Green 93-98]

I imagine his time at UCF was coming to an end one way or another.

This is very discouraging for G5 teams like us.

I'm not sure I understand.  What do you mean?

I think he left before being told to leave.

Darn.  I was hoping they'd try and hire a different offensive guru for OC.

Not really, I think you are under the delusion this program is serious about winning. The leaders just want to participate.

Maybe UCF will be impressed by us making a bowl and hire a certain offensive guru for HC?

Jerry Moore replaced Hayden Fry for 2 seasons before moving on to Texas Tech in 1980 with a 12 & 12 record. North Texas has fired every head football coach since. This job is a mill stone, not a stepping stone.

How so?  You know UCF is in the Big XII, right?

Tom Herman was looking for a P4 OC job before he was fired, as well.

My point is you will see more head coaches leave G5 teams for P5 coordinator gigs.  In fact, I could see this happening with Morris. It used to be that a G5 head coaching posting would be more valuable to a coach and his family.  I believe NIL and the portal has changed this.

I see this as a win win for Gus and UCF. They both get to start over.
