Have a winless season? No, that didn’t do it.
Get embarrassed on National TV? Nope. See ’06 Pittsburgh. ’07 USF. ’08 BC…
Go 4-7 or 4-8 the year following a championship? Uh uh.
Finish DEAD LAST in FBS in total offense? Apparently not.
Have us eliminated from the East race in September? Doesn’t look like it.
Let other schools in our division come into Orlando and sign players like Chris Johnson? Negatory.
Come within a play or two of losing to a FCS school. Nope.
So what exactly would it take to get fired from the head coaching position at UCF?

It’ll happen after this season, assuming we finish with at least 7+ losses. Sadly, a 6-6 season and another trip to the Crap.com bowl will buy him another year, even if we lose the bowl game to FIU.
Just look at the attendance. Averaging low 30s for 2 home games = hitting UCF Athletics where it hurts (the bank).
Another crappy season will continue the low attendance and there will be no other option, unless UCF is content with regressing the attendance back to the mid 1990s and before (< 20,000 per game)

I doubt we would get an invite to any bowl at 6-6. Not unless one of our wins was against Miami or Houston. At 7-5 we probably get a bowl. I really don’t mind if it’s the New Orleans Bowl or the St. Pete Bowl or whatever. If we win it and go 8-5, I’ll call it a successful year. My problem is that would be 3 successful years out of 6. That’s not good enough. And 6 years is too long to tread water.

It’s gonna require a crowd w/ pitchforks and torches. True we did get votes to be ranked one year, but it just seems it was luck. There’s no consistency in our program!! Did anyone see this weeks “UCF Sports Today”, coach is speaking like he has weeks still to repair the problems?!?!? WAKE UP COACH, YOU’VE ALREADY SCREWED US AGAIN!!!! Isn’t that what practice is for, to repair problems? No four games, two being conference games?

I’m sticking with my prediction from Dec08; UCF wins any bowl game in ’09, or GOL should be forced out. Don’t expect GOL to commit Hari Kiri.
Show me the money, Jerry McGuire.
The money invested in UCF athletics requires a return on investment. The GKC did a horrendous job ham-handing alumni on season tickets this year. Another year or two at this rate and we’ll see Brighthouse Stadium on RealtyTrac.com.
Not all is lost, though. History proves that an entertaining escape from economic hardship draws money, even in a depression.
