just another quick hitter....UCF/USF is on ABC @ 3:30pm and the game has been sold out for 3 weeks. Charlie Strong -vs- Scott Frost and word on campus (my son goes to UCF) is that representatives from the Big 12 in attendance. The thoughts that the Big 12 could rethink conference expansion seeing two schools in the heart of Florida with a natural rivalry with two high profile coaches playing in front of a packed stadium on a beautiful Florida day on ABC would certainly not hurt their image. Secondly, it was mentioned on the radio down here this morning that UF is the least of UCF's worries when it comes to keeping Scott Frost. OK State, Nebraska, Texas A&M, Tennessee, and UCLA have "supposedly" contacted Scott Frost's agent to gauge interest.
We may not get CK or Frost and the drop off to the others is quite steep and would most likely put us right back here in 3 years in even more desperate shape. It is quite possible the SS made a great move acting on JM early but did not follow up with enough energy to lock in one of the premiere coaches before the other P5 schools came calling. If this is the case, SS will have shown he is more interest in diversion, tweeting, and exhibiting that narcissistic "look, I am in control" character that doomed us with his predecessor. I hope to God I am wrong but SS may have overplayed his "we are Florida" hand and left us to pick for scraps.
