Terry this is ridiculous. He is a ****ing asshole. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.

I’m not going to the Utah game. This is the first home game I will have missed in over 5 years. I’m more mad right now than I am when 2015 happened.

**** the money. You WILL lose more if you don’t change something. I’m done with it. You have lost the fans. You have lost credibility over the country. You have lost the perception of this program beyond belief.

This is pathetic and I am calling for his firing now. I will NOT continue to stand by while I watch this once vibrant and upward trending program be dragged through shit filled mud.

Its over. HES lost the recruits, he’s lost the fanbase and he’s lost national respect. Do it for the sake of your legacy and for the sake of this program we love so dearly. I’m embarrassed for my alma mater to be lead by this absolute ****ing scaredy cat Be better.

I consider myself one of the cooler heads in here too. You have to do a lot to piss me off

I admit I was wrong about Harris. Dude actually has me excited to watch this team again. A real methodical offense with some unique looks. Hell, we run honest to god rpos now. For only being two games into his tenure as playcaller it’s great to see. I even get what he was trying to do at the end of half. Yeah it backfired, but you try shit that doesn’t work and adapt.

That’s why I am confused about the wild cat. We’ve seen Tim evolve the formation with Jacurri because he can throw it 5-8 yards, unlike gatewood, which will keep defense honest. But shoving a rb into the wild cat is Gus 100%. We’ve seen it over and over again.

So did this old egomaniac take over playcalling again? Over rule Tim? Can someone actually ask who called those two atrocities plays?

He beat Ohio State tonight and is looking like a Heisman finalist while UCF is......sigh. Gabriel is looking like a rocket scientist right now.

2021 - 4 losses
2022 - 5 losses
2023 - 7 losses
2024 - 6 losses (8 is still possible)

Could be the first UCF Head Coach to ever increase losses in first 4 seasons.

Gus is currently tied with Don Jonas and Josh Heupel for increasing losses in first 3 seasons as UCF Head Coach.

Coaching losing this game. Why become one dimensional in critical situation?

Got home from our debacle in time to watch Oregon-Ohio State. Admit I was envious watching Dillon Gabriel throwing the
football for over 300 yards against a top 5 team. He even managed to run for a 20+ yard TD. Watching him spin the ball
got me wondering what it would be like if only we had a QB that could consistently and accurately pass the ball and run when
needed rather than this 1990’s run oriented offense of Malzahn’s. O’Learys teams were boring but at least he won multiple conference
championships. Anyway, it was a nice respite watching a real QB display his skills vs the hot garbage we have endured during Gus’
tenure.

What was Harris thinking calling a short pass over the middle from your own 1 with seconds left in the half?
Absolute nonsense, bad coaching is killing us in this game(see special team gaffes also)

Well, for those that need a distraction, thought this was a great story ... and quite UCF related. Paywall, and I won't post the full article, but I'll quote some portions, especially about UCF.

Meet Armando Villarreal, the man behind college football’s coolest helmets​

My theory is that Gus doesn’t want to go down as a one hit wonder with Cam. He’s constantly scouring the portal trying to find that elite run first, serviceable passer, so he can seal the legacy that he has done this twice. Gus has had some really good QBs that slipped through his fingers and are starting at other programs. Meanwhile, we had all the pieces in place to have a great year if we just went with the only guy who can throw a pass in Rizk.

Gus is like the compulsive gambler trying to win it all back to prove to his family he’s not a loser. Complete lack of accountability for his actions.

I wouldn’t have cared if we had a shit team, but we had a real shot at winning the Big 12 with a competent passing game. Wouldn’t be surprised if we win out from here. Gus will be celebrated by some for turning it around, but in reality, we are winning despite his coaching and decision making.

I learned growing up with UCF Football in II, I-AA and early I-A. Over that time, with McDowell, and then Coach K even more so, and definitely GOL during his even number years of the '00s ... there was one thing that always helped me through the game, and the aftermath.

And that one, crucial tool that I put into my football toolbelt this season, especially during the TCU game was this ...

Despair

Yes, it's been absent a long time ... only in 2015 through much of 2016, especially the bowl game, and then BYU at the end of 2020 too. But yes, it's how I made it through UCF football as a fan since '88, and definitely hardcore in the '90s, going to away games, being in big stadiums, and ... blowing it big time in the 4th quarter.

It helped me through our first game at ASU too, when we had 3 O-linemen go down, with Schneider too, and our backup QB played 'catch' with the rushing defenders as he was backpedaling as quickly as he could towards our own endzone, just before the half.

It's how I looked at the '00s, both Coach K and his insanity that made Frost's constant 2 point conversions seem like smart moves in comparison. And GOL using game time as practice ... run it until it works, even after 11 failures.

Despair

It's the tool that has been missing in your UCF expectations, one that helps with all our Power conference aspirations, as they disappear, and you still cling to hope, when ... you should just assume we're going to find a way to blow it, whether it's 12 minutes before the end of the game, or 2 minutes left in the first half with a double-digit lead.

When you just embrace despair, every TD becomes a miracle, every win becomes a shock, and you literally have to have some slap you to make sure you're not dreaming.

I know everyone hates him but still kinda cool ? He does have more of his touchdowns at UCF than anywhere else.

Well at least of 'modern' UCF time. I doubt he would have accepted this mediocrity. BUT HEY, at least that idiot Auburn fan is happy we hired some loser DC that did something a decade ago.

Sorry Dr Hitt, we're ruining what you struggled to build into a giant. You got us the Big XII, and a giant university, and we're ruining the athletics.

We don't have enough Dungeon threads on him. We need the entire front page... not just half of it.

Shouldn’t be allowed on the team plane home. Arizona State is terrible and the only reason we aren’t up by 20+ points is because Gus may be the dumbest head coach in America. We are one of the worst coached teams I’ve seen in UCF history.
