UCF hires Danny White for AD from Buffalo
- Thread starter Central Floridave
- Start date
As a whole he will do great in generating revenue and also branding our name which we been battling for years (C. Florida vs UCF). I just hope he gets fans, students, and alums more engaged in UCF athletics.
I also he hope he is not a fan of weekday games either!!

I think we're at the mercy of the AAC and ESPN on those. Don't worry though, after this season, ESPN won't be pulling any strings to put us on primetime weekday games.As a whole he will do great in generating revenue and also branding our name which we been battling for years (C.

We went from the prospect of a full time 70 year old surly GOL as AD to an young, energetic, and engaging 35 year old. Certainly what UCF athletics needs at this moment. Generate more revenue, build a more exciting brand, and demand competitive programs across the board. Let's go get us a winning football coach.
I agree. Out with the Grumpy Elderly and in with the connected, in-touch, vibrant, energized new AD. There's a new sheriff in town!
GOL was a great coach for us but did not need to be AD. He was not the best at connecting with the fans (other than the mandatory shows). We needed a guy that can engage, connect, and make a change.
I like the younger guy hire. Sounds like he has many connections in the industry which has to be important. Time will tell... Go Knights!
Just got an email from UCF Athletics about it.
got a good laugh reading a few reactions from Buffalo fans. Somehow questioning to go to a place with a 'terrible Football Program'. See 2013, it's called having a much higher ceiling

Under White, Buffalo has seen major improvements to its facilities, including an upgraded football center in 2013 and a face-lift to the basketball facilities for the men's and women's teams.
"My goals include building on our outstanding academic accomplishments and making UCF a national leader known for competitive excellence," White said in a statement. "We will become one of the nation's premier destinations for coaches and student-athletes, and we will excite our student body, staff and faculty, alumni and the central Florida community."

This reminds me a little of the Donnie Jones hiring. Young guy great ideas. What we hope for is that he does such a great job that he uses us as a stepping stone to a bigger AD job. Unfortunately Donnie has not been able to use that leverage
UCF signed Danny White to five-year contract

Nice to read that we are paying. It's close to what Oregon St. payed last year right before Stansbury
So..., how much do you think your coaching candidates are going to be hired for? Under 1 million? These are the going rates. Dream on.
