I think this is a new site that has Tony Barnhart, Mike Hugenin, and others as contributors. Anyways, I'm wondering if Godsey is the NFL assistant they're referring to?

As O’Leary proved in 2013, UCF can be a program that competes with the best in the nation. It is one of the best jobs in the AAC; there is a relatively new on-campus stadium (it opened in 2007 and seats almost 45,000) and a solid recruiting base. In addition, UCF has an enrollment of about 60,000, making it the second-largest university in the nation, behind only Arizona State.

But there’s also no question the program is down; there’s a startling lack of playmakers, especially for a school based in Florida, and O’Leary and his staff haven’t recruited all that well of late, especially in-state. It’s not necessarily a tough turnaround project, though, and if the job comes open, it will be appealing for a number of mid- and-lower level coaches — and maybe even an NFL assistant — looking for a better job. Still, an AD must be hired, and that could slow the looking-for-a-coach process.


On a side note, their 'insiders' are saying the 3 names that keep surfacing at South Carolina are Justin Fuente, Tom Herman, and Kirby Smart.
