I don’t think Spurrier would be interested. Phil Fulmer on the other hand…

Spurrier will be available very soon. Maybe we should go after him? At least he has a “real” resume and we already know what kind of coach he is, AND from Florida!

Charlie Strong is the ideal coach for UCF. He knows the state of Florida very well and alway gets the top defensive recruits go to UF. GOL time is up and UCF needs to move in a new direction. UCF now has the facilities to compete with the other schools in Florida. UCF should definetely interview Charlie Strong for the position if they fire the drunken irish.

Neale.

1. It’s not fair to the kids trying to win A Big Bowl Game to lose a coach or have a coach who’s half there and half somewhere else.

2. Charlie Strong may well have two National Championships in three years by the time next seson starts. Not won 15 or 20 years ago, but two of the last three. Plus, right now with Prince and Willingham being fired there are only four black head coaches in FBS football. What knid of message would it send to the high school talent in this state, most of whom are also black, if we hired Strong?

#. I never said UCF has the same recruiting pull as thosem schools TODAY. Go back 25 years ago and it’s about the same though. And how did those schools build their programs? They locked down Florida. I don’t know what school you’re a fan of, but I’d be willing to bet your school doesn’t have players like Brandon Marshall, Atari Bigby, Kevin Smith, Asante Samuel, Matt Prater, and Travis Fisher doing what they’re doing in the NFL, brand new facilities that are state of the art, a football crazed fan base that gives them the best home field advantage in the conference, and a losing record every other year. If they did you’d be screaming about it too.

1) Why would you want your desired head coach to continue working for someone else, even if only a game?
2) Your sole reason for choosing Strong is that “He’s been the Defensive Co-ordinator for a National Champion.” Guess what, genius, O’Leary was too.
3) To think that UCF has the same recruiting pull as UF, Miami, or FSU is insane. They have national championships, UCF does not. They are in the BCS, UCF is not. The only area that UCF is giving those schools a run for their money is in whining fans. You guys sucked in the past, suck now and will do so in the future. Keep thinking your school will amount to something. It’s amusing.

I agree its time for coach GOL to go. His style just doesn’t fit the kids of today. This is coaches fifth season at UCF and we are again rebuilding. It is just unacceptable for what he is getting paid and the resources he has. Some of the worst losses in UCF history have been under GOL- USF 64-12, Pitt 52-7 etc… He just seems to run players and coaches off. Two of the five years we’ve had our punter set records for most punts in a season.
Charlie Strong would be great but I believe he is setting his sights on a BCS job. At this point, anyone with any kind of imagination would be better than GOL. Every saturday you see teams with lesser talent compete with the bigger schools. I don’t believe our talent is as bad as our 2-7 record indicates.

Good suggestion, we need a coach with Florida ties who knows the high schools in the state. It is obvious that GOL and his staff don’t recruit well in Florida.

Mike Tice’s kid left the program before the season started to a place where he would see playing time.

If he can walk and chew gum at the same time he’s got to be better than Calabrese. Calabrese throws passes that land five yards out of bounds. Sure he can run a little bit, but Greco runs better. I swear I don’t see why O’Leary is rushing this kid along. Here’s another question. Since Greco and Calabrese are both awful, how about we give Mike Tice’s kid a shot? Or how about Weatherford? They can’t be any worse.

UCF goes after the top local talent and they decide to go elsewhere. We got two players from Daytona Seabreeze, one was injured and the other left the program due to personal reasons.

And yes, Calabrese is better than that kid.
