The Current State of Florida Programs

Gus drove the bus to the bottom of the ocean. We need a deep sea diver to get us out of there. Hopefully Frost is that guy, he’s brought us up from the depths of hell once before, but it’ll be much harder this time.
Based on...what? Going into Malzahn's tenure, I thought the Knights had a head coach who was perfectly positioned, based on his P4 experience, to lay the foundation for long-term success in the Big XII.
Based on his results, the direction of the program, and the players he left behind upon his "screw the money, let me get the hell out of Dodge" exit, I was obviously dead-wrong.
Or so I thought. I'm curious to learn what Gus supposedly did that got "UCF mentioned at all."
UCF was been driven to the ground by BETA Mohajir. The last straw (that broke the camel’s back) was to hire a guy like Frost who has a terrible reputation in the coaching and college football industry.
The fact is that no viable coach or recruit wants to attach himself to “Buddy”. On top of that, “Buddy” is in no position to ask for NIL or staff resources…one of the reasons Mohajir hired him to begin with.
NONE of the rejected coaches Frost hired is attractive to transfers of recruits. Not a single one (specially Frost himself).

At the bottom of the Lil 12 and at the bottom of every team in a power conference.
Now do Cristobal, Diaz, Richt, Golden and Shannon...
They don't even have 3 wins combined...
That's nuts. It's crazy how far Miami has fallen since the Big East. Who would've thought that the mighty ACC was too tough for them? Hell, former AAC member SMU damn near won it their very first year in. Similar to how UCF won the P5 Big East/AAC our first year in.
These results should tell the idiots who talk down on our AAC success something. It's really been over 20 years since Miami did anything major and that's insane. 20 freaking years! That's a lil under half of my life and my ass is getting old.

No current college football players can remember when da u was "good."
UCF dead last in the Big 12.

Who won the offseason? We look at every Power 4 team
Nail the transfer portal? Miss a big recruit? Find a top coordinator job? All are part of a college team's offseason.

Biggest coaching move: Scott Frost is starring at an 0-13 season in 2025.
What went wrong: Gus Malzahn left.
What went right: FSU.
A word about "culture"
With all of y'all throwing around talk of locker room culture and how Frost is changing things at UCF, an ACC coach chimed in on culture as it relates to Gus!
One anonymous ACC coach told Athlon Sports that he believes Gus Malzahn’s hire is about more than just Xs and Os.
“Gus [Malzahn] is going to take it back to basics and do a lot of run-game at first,” the coach reportedly said. “His hire was way more about culture and having the veteran in the room than it was about a particular kind of scheme.”

UCF plays only 12 regular season games in 2025, so if the Knights invited to the Reese's Senior Bowl lose, the final record will be 0-13.
Norvell seems to believe the Seminoles are adding just what the doctor ordered to help revive the team's offense by bringing in Malzahn.
"He's one of the most innovative minds in college football history," Norvell said to On3's Pete Nakos. "And to be able to get somebody of that caliber, he's a natural leader of men. He's done it with football teams, and now obviously being able to have that focus within one side of the ball, but also still making a program-wide impact, is big."
Same could be said for Coach Gus Malzahn
Man, I am so tired of the back and forth with the trolls. Give it a rest!
Norvell was excited about the 2024 season. Guys were big, strong , fast. Coaches were great.
What’s this supposed to mean? Other than more reinforcement that you are a pervert
But, but, but we've been told summer after summer after summer that Mario is "building a champion."
Yeah, riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.
Miami is the king of the underachievers. In recent years, the Knights have more rings and more bowl wins than your Canes do.
Mario is building a championship program. There’s zero doubt about it. Why is it that nobody mentions Nebraska or UCF?
TEMU Patrick Mahomes went to Nebraska because have gave his uncle a secured job and a promotion (for now)…zero top recruits are going to Lincoln Nebraska to watch grass grow.
Scott “Buddy” Frost has l23 kids on schedule for OV this Summer…18 are ranked 3* (all mid to low 3*) and 5 are UNRANKED. Zero official visitors for UCF are ranked 4*. Welp?
Miami has five 5* players coming in during the summer, FIFTEEN 4* players. In addition to FOURTEEN .8900 (highest 3* possible) players.

You continually want to bring up my alma mater even though this is a UCF fan board.
The only thing I'll say is to remind everyone here we have a WWE-style, "One of Us is Going to Leave the Board" bet. If the Canes have a better record this fall than the Huskers, I'll be saying 'bye-bye' and leaving forever. If it's the Huskers, it's YOU who has agreed to leave. 'Nuff said.
Can FSU football's Tommy Castellanos be the best QB in the country?
What is Tommy Castellanos' ceiling?
"Norvell said it best that Castellanos could be the best quarterback in the country. It might be good for the 5-foot-9 QB to be under the radar, so no one would see it coming if he has a career-defining season.
His passing numbers can be slightly above average if he puts up anywhere between 3,000 and 3,500 yards, but he can put himself as one of the top rushing QBs nationally if he rushes for over 1,000 yards. It is to be known that the FSU has not had a quarterback throw over 3,500 yards since 2014 when Jameis Winston was at QB.
The opening game against Alabama can set the bar, but Castellanos could take advantage afterward when the Seminoles play East Texas A&M and Kent State in the next two games.
I wouldn't say he can be a Heisman contender. At least not yet."

No way this pot head wins anything this year, particularly with a used car salesman as his OC.
