I am not sure what to think at this point. I was disappointed to hear someone mention on the thread that Scott Frost was toxic. He has the head coaching experience, is offensive-minded, and is familiar with the AAC. 

The next person in charge is going to really have to roll up his sleeves to figure out what to do about the offense next season. New QB, holes to fill on the O Line, RB room after Johnny Ford’s eligibility is up. That is my concern with a defensive minded coach at the helm. However, I am not so sure hiring an offensive coordinator from a P5 school will do it. It hasn’t worked at USF so far. Tough call for Brian White. Hopefully whatever decision is made is a well thought out one.

USF now 1-7! Jeff Scott may be available

We need a coach who can bring a QB with him.

I know good coordinator =/= good head coach, but I'd like to see Todd Orlando retained, year 2 in this scheme could be scary

I agree about the good coordinator =/= good HC. That's why I kind of like following the LK model: former HC who had to go back and learn as a coordinator after failing as a HC at a P5. That's why Lane was so great. He had HC experience at the NFL level, then the P5 level at two name-brand universities, then had to go back and learn some more from the GOAT. James Franklin isn't Saban, but he's an accomplished, long-tenured HC at a P5 school, and Diaz is probably taking a lot of notes from him.

Also if we keep WT for another couple of years, and Cristobal doesn't work out at the U, I'd take a hard look at him as well.

I thought WT DID bring a QB with him…

They can have Willie back though.

Brian harsin is available and I think he'd be a great choice. Great record at Boise State and Auburn is in an impossibly difficult conference to break into

Auburn is wildly dysfunctional, but Harsin wasn't a good recruiter in the SEC. Maybe he thrives in smaller G5 conference? Worth a phone call for sure though.

Could do worse and let Auburn pay his way here to boot! And I think a LARGE step up going into the AAC!

I think I’d pass on Harsin. I think he is better fit to head back west
