Bianchi, YOU are wrong....

Lets get Kelly back on the payroll so we can compete again or lets hope we find someone who can recruit Miami/Florida as well as Kelly did. Gotta cheat like the big boys to compete with the big boys. How's that whole cheating thing working out for the New England Patriots? #makeUCFgreatagain #bringkellyback #hesaidhewassorry

But its proven that if you don't belong in the "Big Boy P5 Club", yet you try to cheat at lower levels then they....you will get HAMMERED by the NCAA...which is exactly what happened to UCF under Tribble, Kelly et al.

There is no way Dr Hitt will ever allow Kelly to coach at UCF under his watch. Heck, Kelly hasn't been able to get a job at any of the other 127 Div I-A Schools...let alone all the other Div I-AA, Div II, etc...programs across the country either.

Kelly decided to follow Tribble's lead instead of GOL...and that was his downfall and obviously has killed his career.

Kelly might eventually end up with another shot at a program...but as of now, he can't comeback to UCF...or at any other college.

Question, what the collective reason UCF went from a major BCS bowl win in January 2014 to this poor outcome this season? I would think that bowl win would have been a recruiting bonanza.

Please KL, explain this. And any reason other than our coaching staff can't recruit is the wrong answer.

M-fer is a good description...which is why he avoided GKC Members almost every chance he could get.

The saying "Never Bullsh-t a bullshitter"....his BS, the few times he was forced to meeting GKC members, was on full display...let alone all the games he played behind the scenes (getting Asst Coaches to go against their HC advice...getting involved with illegal, let alone shaddy "runners" in recruiting), he was a total disaster.

Not a coincidence that the 2 schools he worked at prior, UNLV and UF, went on probation during or right after he left those schools.

He learned from the best cheaters....(hence why not even a community college athletic program would hire him to do with anything related to athletics today).

Interesting

I think in most cases, it should.

UCF's Feb 2014 Class was almost full prior to that Fiesta Bowl game....as 6 recruits committed to UCF following that game thru signing day...and actually, the highest recruit of that class was one of those late 6 verbals, 4 star Kyle Gibson (who hasn't had much luck on his side but hopefully he can end up being a very good player over next 2-3 years).

Some players from the class were expected to perform at a high level after 1-2 years like Gibson, Dickey, Harris, Rogers (another player with bad luck but hope he can reach his recruiting hype), while a player or two seem like a star already in their first year (Tre-quan Smith).

Losing Jacoby Glenn after his redshirt soph season...losing Perriman early too hurt...and once players like Akins went down for the season, let alone UCF's veteran starting QB (first UCF starting QB to miss multiple games since 1999), then add in some recruiting misses, especially at DL/LB/OL...its spells bad news.

NCAA sanctions on off-campus evaluation/coaching travel days limited/official visit reductions and scholarship restrictions....everything just snowballed this season.

Hopefully, next coaching staff can help develop all the young freshmen and 1st timers that got to play this season while adding new talent to the mix.

NOTE: Feb 2017 recruiting class will have the next biggest long-term impact...much more so than the upcoming Feb 2016 (hopefully key players will still come out of this upcoming class).
