Yeah…says you. Zero of you UCF fans know what a championship roster looks like or how it ‘s built. *Hint: it’s not by getting a dozen *3 DB recruits and transfers.
Apparently Miami doesn’t either since y’all have been in the ACC. How in the hell do y’all not have one ACC title?!? That’s beyond embarrassing especially with the level of recruiting Miami does. Enjoy your offseason awards again.
Boys parroting nonsense when their 2 DL coaches managed to sign ONE 3* high school DL in the 2024 class. LOL.
We got Walker and LeBlanc in 23’ Leblanc had to redshirt. But again idk where you are going with this… Miami always recruits well but sucks on the field…
All those Miami draft picks...and
results on the field for the last two DECADES!🤣🤣🤣
Yes…thats why Bain and Maugioa were both Freshmen All American. You don’t even know that every team NEEDS to recruit high school OL and DL every year?
Your clown takes on the situation are really hilarious! 🤣
Miami is a top brand in college football and Mario is building a championship roster.
Of course UCF has a losing record vs the P5 over the last 10 years. Only an idiotic clown would expect a G5 team to have a winning record vs the P5. You really are pathetic! 🤣
Miami WAS a top brand. The most recent figures I saw on Locked on Big 12 suggested that the u ranked in the mid-40s among CFB revenue generating programs since 2000.
You have no idea what Mario is building. The u is very thin on the offensive line. One or two major injuries could detail the season. What happens if the center suffers a season-ending injury?
No. 1, you are quoting an article that is at a minimum a half decade old and factually incorrect.

Maybe UCF should have raided the staff of a Sun Belt Conference East bottom-feeding program like Marshall. Whoops. Too late for that. Perhaps UCF should have hired a South Florida coach like the one it just fired. Whoops. Best to the punch again.
It certainly worked out well for securing an Army of 'Mid'Knightsmen!
Stop making garbage up…Miami is a PRIVATE school and there’s no way that anyone (even less a clueless old dude like you) can know any revenue data for the University of Miami.Miami WAS a top brand.

UCF has only been a P4 program for one season.

9. HE’S “PROTECTIVE,” NOT “PARANOID”
(Photo: Dale Zanine, Getty)
Gus Malzahn has been called paranoid plenty of times, and he understands why. He's not exactly the most verbose coach and when it comes to injuries and events behind the scenes, he rarely opens his mouth.
“I like to say protective. We work extremely hard and obviously in our league it’s very important to win. I’m just more like protective of my team and my coaches and what we’re doing to give our guys the best chance of being successful and winning and not getting information out there that could hurt us. So, I like to use the word protective instead of paranoid — which I’ve been called paranoid before.”
15 things we learned about Gus Malzahn on Driving Plains
Check out these interesting tidbits we learned about Gus Malzahn during our exclusive one-on-one interview.
No. 2, UCF stocked up on linebackers and defensive backs; positions that have been sore spots for the Knights since Gus took over the program.
No. 3, per the trash Tweets you are spamming the board, the Big 12 has four of the nation's top 10 quarterbacks and UCF faces 3 of them during the regular season.
Maybe UCF should have raided the staff of a Sun Belt Conference East bottom-feeding program like Marshall. Whoops. Too late for that. Perhaps UCF should have hired a South Florida coach like the one it just fired. Whoops. Best to the punch again.
Based on the recruiting feedback, I think the "washed up old (national championship-winning) retread" and "sock puppet OC with zero play calling experience who will serve as a WR coach with also zero experience" will turn out fine, just fine.
It certainly worked out well for securing an Army of 'Mid'Knightsmen!
My figures were slightly off.
Stop making up crap…clown. Miami is a PRIVATE school and doesn’t disclose or publish financial data.My figures were slightly off.
The u is the 36th most valuable program BEHIND Cal over the last 20 years!
Louisville, by comparison, ranks 24th nationally at $1.88 billion over the same time span. Duke and North Carolina have also been more profitable than the u.
Statistics are kept by Equity in Athletics Division of the Office of Postsecondary Education:
Equity in Athletics

Indiana's athletic department has been more profitable than the u since 2004, per the EADA.
Lol…clown keeps making up stories. Where’s UCF at? It’s not even about UCF. You don’t care about UCF. You are an old guy that’s obsessed with another old guy (Gus Malzone).Indiana's athletic department has been more profitable than the u since 2004, per the EADA.
Who would have guessed in 2022 the top 65 schools getting visits were the top 65 Power conference schools.
But, but what about the FAKE colley naty? That didn’t help the brand? Maybe because it NEVER happened?!
I'm sure the 'u' is a "nice place to visit" but no one serious about playing for championships in football is going to the beach. Night life maybe. Titles? No way.
Lmao. Only a UCF nerd would post that as some kind of source or affirmation. I have more followers than that guy.
Mario has been part on numerous college championship programs as a player and a coach. Mario won the PAC 12 as a head coach and won the Rose Rose Bowl.
Yeah... Scott Frost had one good season, too. I will concede this: Mario has a better track record than Frost.
I have addressed this: Protective, not paranoid. From Gus's own mouth.
I have addressed this.
Yes. UCF has a solid foundation. All Gus needed was a few pieces here or there to complete the puzzle.

Here I actually agree with you. Gus needs to leave his foot on the pedal. He doesn't necessarily have to intentionally run the score up on people. But he needs to win games emphatically enough to impress voters. Gus prefers to sit on leads, bleed the clock, rely on sound special teams and defense. He needs to attack more in the latter stages of games. Playing "safe" cost him a National Championship against Free Shoes U. All he had to do was run up the score. He cannot let that mistake happen twice.
As long as it results a LEGITIMATE National Championship for UCF that it recognized in EVERY city, township, and community in America, I am "happy being a gimmick football team."'
You're a 🤡 desperately trying to distract from Miami's dismal failures for almost TWO DECADES. 🤣
The Gus Malzone gimmick & soft offense was #113 (out of 130 FCS teams) in Red Zone Offense for 2023.
Dude, you have come up with some zingers, but this is one of your worst. The biggest complaint about Gus's offense is everyone knows what is coming based on personnel groupings, substitutions, and formations. There are tons of articles on Gus's offense and his philosophy.

What would a Gus Malzahn (or Norvell, or Morris) Spread Offense look like at Arkansas?
Speculation is flying on who will end up taking the job at Arkansas but there is a pretty good indication that a No Huddle Spread scheme will be on the resume of the hire. The game in the SEC has...
Thanks for the clarification!!!
All this time I thought it was because UCF was facing veteran offensive lines full of 5th and 6th year COVID kids, who went on to be NFL draftees (See Kansas State, Kansas, etc.) AND because UCF was forced to play true freshman John Walker in the lineup due to veteran Ricky Barber getting injured midseason AND because UCF had the most clueless LB Coach in all of college football AND because UCF had an FCS linebacker and a D2 linebacker as its best options and because Josh Heupel had the 62nd, 56th, 77th, and 60th recruiting classes from 2018-2021.

UCF Knights 2023 Game Log
I am looking over the game logs. I am having trouble figuring out "when the going" got "tough" for the UCF offense, which "faded and quits."
I found only one game where UCF averaged less than 6 yards per play and Gus hired that team's defensive coordinator.

UM last 3 QBs were Heisman candidates. Until the played decent teams. Then they folded like accordions.
