IMHO, and I understand this is basic, but, here are some notes:
-Acquiring or Signing of a new head coach is very disruptive to a program in most cases.
-GOL takes over AD position now because he is a high profile name/figure and we need this to keep stability at UCF football and the UCF Athletics in General.
-We need this stability at the moment for recruiting, ticket sales, P5 acceptance, football, (did I miss any?)
-From the 740 conversation this morning, it seems GOL is setting himself up for life after Coaching.
-If GOL stays at UCF as the AD and we choose a head coach (in a year or so) from within, the ship is still in relatively smooth water. (Because we are running football the GOL way)
-GOL gets UCF into a P5 (huge personal accomplishment for him) and works closely with the new head Football coach to keep the machine running smoothly.
-UCF gets into a P-5 and does well for a few years...GOL retires and becomes a legend at UCF.
-Some other notes...GOL gets UCF basketball and Baseball on the right track within 2 years.
-The landscape of college football is changing. If conferences are constantly trying to keep up with other conferences $$, they plan for the future (like businesses etc). UCF keeps growing and getting better at everything it does (and we're in Orlando)....so take us now or somebody else will and that somebody else will have success with us.
