UCF coaching search.


Feb 14, 2021, 4:38 PM

A day after his hiring the AD made this comment about the search for the new HC: I'll go silent. I'll seclude myself. No statements, no interviews, no comments. When I've hired someone, I'll let you know.


Apparently, the is doing that quite well. I don't know if he is using a search firm, a small group of confidants, or just doing it by himself. But, there are no rumors of him contacting anybody much less interviewing anybody. Very unusual. Usually some agent will float a rumor that his guy is interviewing or something like that.

Now, to make this Clemson related....

Dabo tells the story of how he was hired by Gene Stallings:

Coach Stallings told me, 'You got the job. But if I hear you got the job, you ain't got the job. I've got some things I have to take care of. Then I'll announce you got the job. Got it?'

The AD could be pulling that play with the agents: Your guy is a candidate for the job. But if I hear he's a candidate for the job, he ain't a candidate for the job. Got it?

I hear you, but UCF ain’t no Alabama! And as my old preacher used to say, “ Yes, I said ain’t!”

Obviously Elliott like it has been for the last 35 coaching openings. :)

Would love to see Gus there

Should be plenty of cross-over to his recruiting footprint and would give them some real authenticity when P5 programs are willing to schedule them.

Malzahn is the guy.

I read in this morning's Orlando Sentinel that Malzahn had been offered the job. By noon it was official.

Maybe he can win them another self-declared national championship.

Tennessee missed out on this guy. He wasn't that bad, had SEC experience and think he was 3-5 against Saban. What has Tennessee's record against Bama been last 10 years? I think Gus's problem at Auburn was the boosters got in his way.

This is a big upgrade for UCF

IMO, Josh Heupel is so overrated it ain't funny. Gus Malzahn is far from perfect but I'd take him a million times over Heupel.

UCF fans should be very happy about this. The main downside is Gus will bolt back to the big leagues in short order.
