New HC will be named Monday

The longer this goes on, the more I think it’s Sumrall and we’re giving him the courtesy of coaching his championship game before announcing it. Not going the classless Nebraska with Scott Frost route.
 
A theory to go along with the above about not announcing until after a championship game, That one recruit announced he is sticking with UCF but not signing on the first day (Wednesday). Sounds like they got the word who it is and it is code zero top secret...for-whatever-reason-that-is-beyond-me approach until after this past championship game weekend. Why they wouldn't put a statement out or any bread crumbs is beyond me.

Terry didn’t even put out a statement about Gus leaving ..weird

But we have to watch North Carolina. If they make a hire announcement soon and it is still crickets out of UCF then Sumrall may be the guy

What about all the noise surrounding Chadwell and UCF? My first choice is Sumrall, and Chadwell is second, but I’m ok with him if he ends up being our guy.
 
Media consultant Jim Williams shared two intriguing top targets for UCF in their search for Gus Malzahn’s Knights head football coaching replacement after the 59-year-old left Orlando for FSU’s offensive coordinator position: ESPN analyst and longtime SEC coaching veteran Dan Mullen and current Tulane head coach Jon Sumrall.

Lol. Not even close…UCF has a guy in mind and it’s not them. You kids need to realize that UCF doesn’t have enough money to compete with another P4 program for a head coach…simple as that.

Sumrall is the top guy in the market. He’s not happening to UCF.

I don’t see any way that they hire Mullen. The guy hates recruiting for one thing and that would be the only reason to expedite his hiring, and I don’t think his heart would be into it. I don’t see this happening at all. obviously he is better than Gus but we’re looking for more than that.
 
Just came up in a google search for the past hour. I don't really count on any of that to be true. Just speculation.

I don't even have a twitter/X account. Nor would I ever have one.

I guess we go into Wednesday with more guessing games. I'm thinking it will be a coach in the this weekend championship games. But, I have no sources, just gut feelings. And, right now full of beer, so don't trust my gut right now. :p

OC possible the longer this goes
 
This is the guy to watch…shouldn’t even tell you people anything since you are all always trying to crap on me.

I’ve thought of him given the Heupel-UCF connections. Seems like the fan base isn’t too happy with him this season because of the regression of the offense with a freshman qb

watched a few Tennessee games and it seems Nico had some deep shot opportunities but wouldn’t let it fly, seems to get rattled more on the road compared to their previous QB. But he is still a redshirt freshman
 
I'm torn between a HC that understands the current college landscape and knows he has to be CEO versus an OC who can reenergize the offense.
UCF is not Alabama my man. To be a “CEO” you have to be a top HC (top 10). You also need plenty of money for a top OC and DC…you need top position coaches, plenty of recruiting staffers and plenty off the field coaches.

There are only a handful of teams with the resources and personnel to have a “CEO” head coach…you can bet your behind that UCF is not one of that programs.

UCF needs a bright, energetic, innovative young coach that is willing to work his butt off.

Terry is handling this very unprofessionally. Nothing from him about Gus leaving, no mention that a national coaching search has begun, nothing at all to the fans, boosters, or alumni. And it’s damn well going to hurt us tomorrow on NSD. Very bush league! Certainly isn’t gonna help him find another job at a P4. Hope he’s been making good personal investments.
