Dontay Mayfield Plans on Honoring His Commitment to Central Florida

[firm_bizzle]

"I mean, maybe it'll be best if that happens," Mayfield said. "Maybe UCF can get another guy in there to recruit better and come up with better schemes."

This was my favorite quote from that article:

"It doesn't affect my commitment, not really. I have a plan, and I've been recruiting guys to come with me to UCF to turn the program around. If I can get the guys I need, I promise I can turn the program around."

Does he want to be coach?

 

[HammerB08]

I like the cut of this kid's jib. Commit to the school not the HC.

I like his attitude. Hope he's a good one.

 

[Nautiknight]

Well....after all UCF stands for opportunity.

This guy screams leadership. He has a real chance to come in at UCF and lead this team to great things. Seems like "Mr. UCF" Brandon Marshall II

If he gets 2 kids to commit, he'll be our top recruiter.

According at his offers he would benefit most if the Knights hired a Dino Babers from Bowling Green, Scott Sattersfield from Appy St (if interested) , Terry Bowden from Akron (a long shot and unpopular choice amongst the fanbase apparently) or Rick Stockstill from MTSU (not sure its worth leaving a G5 school to another).

Stockstill just got a raise to $700,000 at his now CUSA school (MTSU, long time Sunbelt program, moved up to CUSA when everyone left that conf)...if he ever had a chance to double/triple his salary by moving up to a higher profile school/conf he would take it...but not sure he will be on UCF's radar for this search.

I thought our staff recruited nothing but crap players?

Yes. Have you not been watching games?

One "seemingly good" recruit out of a possible 23 is kind of a bad thing.

 

[SCKnight]

What? How did this Florida recruit get in? We don't recruit Florida!

You are one of those all or nothing type people aren't you? 2/6 are Florida recruits.

Wait i thought we have no money!

 

[UCFhonors]

I haven't thought about recruiting in months bc it's been so bleak. Here is to turning things around.

 

[jtGoldenKnights]

Geoff Collins will get recruiting turned around

More $$ available than MTSU.

UCF could save money by hiring a cheaper/less experienced candidate and maybe have more $$ for assistants (believe UCF was 6th in AAC Asst Salary Pool), or...UCF pays more $$ to an experienced HC Candidate (like a Greg Schiano) but might end up having less $$$ available for Assistants.

We also have more money than Miami, according to one the those articles saying UCF may be a better job.

Incorrect.

Miami has money ($20 Million plus from ACC TV Deal and bowl share) but the Univ President has never really wanted to spend much of it on their football program. (Golden was earning $2.52 Million per year...while Miami Asst Coaches were paid more than UCF Asst Coaches).

Miami also has more deep pocket donors (which not in great numbers) than UCF.

Miami spends approx $30 Million in football program expenses.

UCF spends approx $19.5 Million in football program expenses.

Now, while most know Miami has more $$$, even with that advantage, many in the college football field are still saying UCF would be a better HC job in the long run.
