Here is a post from a USF fan I thought was interesting:
FAU has not and will NOT surpass UCF or USF as the 4th best team in the state. They cannot recruit, they cannot draw more than 4000 fans to a game, and with all due respect to Howard Schelenberger, he is past his time. You're basing this on a couple of losing seasons for both teams and really nothing else (by the way, we beat the team rather easily two years ago and that was the second worst season in our recent history).
Of course I'm a little biased, but even if you look it it objectively, you will see that USF had a great recruiting year and UCF did pretty well itself. UCF has a proven coach in O'Leary, a strong core of "through thick and thin" fans, and will have one of the nicest athletics complexes in the NATION in a couple years.
FAU simply has not dedicated what both UCF and USF have to grow their athletic programs. Do a little research on what both schools are doing and you will see that they are not going to be bottom feeders for long.
So Schnellenberger is pass his prime and can't recruit, the guy is young at heart and could continue to coach for many, many more years to come - the guy lives and breath football. It still amazeses me how this very coach was able to recruit the talent he was able to, especially at the very inception of the program - Jared Allen probably being the biggest recruit. The talent he has been able to attract the past several years will soon be shown to the rest of the football world and they will see that this guy has not lost his touch, but only has gotten better with age.
If this guy is basing his evaluation of FAU on the USF game a few year back, then I want to play USF right now. I'm not even sure we would beat USF, but would give them a hell of a scare, like we did UCF.
And to make a comment like we have not dedicated to the growth of our Athletic department - soif the hiring of Doherty doesn't show how FAU dedication to growth of this program then I am missing something - The program has grown every year from it's inception and continue to grow at a phenomental rate.
He talks about doing research, looks like he needs to do some himself before before making statements like he did.

That guy must not have been paying attention in 2003 when FAU nearly beat UCF.
