Why the hell is RJ returning kicks!?!? This is completely unacceptable. The most important player on the roster, and you’re risking him getting hurt on special teams!? How many athletes do we have on the roster buried, getting no playing time? And he refuses to let anyone else get any reps. That’s why kids transfer, disgusting.

What in the world was that call before the half accepting the penalty on the Gators when we had them off the field attempting a FG. But instead, Gus accepts the penalty, gives them another shot on 3rd down, and of course they convert (and score a TD heading into the half).

The game moves too fast for the old man. The team gets the ball coming out of the half and runs the ball 11 of first 12 plays (down three touchdowns). Down multiple scores, they continued to huddle after every play, taking 20-25 seconds off the clock after each RUN. We can’t ‘no huddle’ anymore? He didn’t coach a single player in-game. No side conversations, no hands-on instruction. Just the iPad walking back and forth. I am so done giving my money to that program until Grandpa Boom is gone.

I was on the field yesterday, you could see in the eyes of his assistant coaches that they don’t buy in. You could see in the eyes of our offensive back-ups on the sidelines (Brown, Colson, Rizk) that a) they were frustrated with their roles and b) they didn’t want to play in that offense anyway.

Making a change in leadership could save the roster. The Democrats replaced Biden as their nominee, UCF may need to respectfully nudge Gus into retirement in the same manner. I kid, I kid - not trying to argue politics. But I’m just saying…

Until then, it’s Boom and Doom.

UCF is 3-2. 3 ugly wins and 2 ugly losses. 'grandpa boom' is funny.

Nobody likes losing but losing is part of the game. How you respond to losing is on you. For me, I stepped back on getting too emotional on the games and looking at it as just entertainment. Nothing more, nothing less. Plus, going to just win money on betting against UCF football. that way I lose and win! :p

Beat the Bearcats, by at least 3.5 points!
 
Unless your bank account has 8 digits + in it we're not firing him. I doubt UCF has this kind of money laying around.

Contract is until 2027 and his salary is $5M until 2026 and it goes to $5.5M

If UCF terminates without cause: UCF would owe Malzahn 75% of his remaining contract value.

2025 75% of 5 = $3.75M
2026/2027 - 75% of 5.5 = 4.125 *2 = $8.25M

$12M total buyout if I've read it right.

Unless "sucking a$$" is a 'with cause' legal out.

When you have the money for his buyout let us all know. Until then Gus is the coach for better or worse. QB play is a huge part of why we are not doing well. Gus needs to make a change at QB for starters

Have you considered the possibility that the QBs behind Jefferson are trash because Gus has no interest in recruiting and developing QBs? Jacurri Brown left Miami because he was going to be the 3rd or 4th QB on their depth chart. Dylan Rizk was lightly recruited out of high school and has barely sniffed the field even in mop-up time so far.

Maybe they'll be great, but I think it's a lot more likely Gus has put all his eggs in the KJ basket.

It is like they think Gus is secretly hiding all of the good players.

Really TM needs to be fired for that extension alone. What a joke of an AD. B12 knows he is one of the weaker ADs in the conference. No spine.
 
Grandpa boom is a one hit wonder and it was nothing special, make Cam Newton your QB and keep the ball in his hands. That's not that hard. Gus' reputation as an all time great coach is a head scratcher. If you really look back at his career you'll realize he's overrated
