It's over. The literal "Knightmare" with Gus Malzahn is over. I don't care who we hire, you better believe they'll do better with P4, Florida resources than Malzahn did. Happy Thanksgiving and Merry mf'n Christmas early Knight Nation!!! ⚔⚔⚔
Whew. Just rejoice yall
- Thread starter Willie Knightime
- Start date
I'm sure everyone will be watching the gator-fsu game coming up. For a celebration, everytime ESPN mentions this News of Gus moving over to FSU....DRINK...
Cheers and Bottom's Up!
I'm kind of hoping FSU beat the Gators tonight but really don't care either way. Some great football so far today and more to come tonight. Go College Football!

At the minimum the buyout is reduced by the income that he brings in at his new job. Hopefully it’s even more.
Gus has has 2 rough years, He could have hung around and that surely would have been bad for us. I wish him well. Maybe he simply wants to coach again with out all the extra junk that is now being a head coach.
Even if this is a brokered deal that saves us $$ and allows him to move on it is good for both sides.

He quit. He owes the buyout.
Agreed, we should owe him nothing.....and frankly I would agree to $0 buyout for his resignation.
Getting out of this with zero dollars spent is awesome.
I would be shocked if he pays any money to get out of the contract. Frankly, I’m shocked that we didn’t pay any money to get him out of the contract. I’m actually ecstatic with the results.
I understand what you’re saying and if you go by what happened and the contract, you are right. I doubt it went down like that, though behind the scenes. I could see u go your way we go our way that’s it, no transaction monies. It’s a big win for us n great job by administration getting those results
That’s what worries me. Did Terry make some type of deal to make a Malzahn-approved hire?!?
I don’t think any way that happened. Gus is gone a bit of his smell left behind but that will evaporate soon enough Charge on !!
If Terry made a "deal" with Gus for his replacement, TikTok needs to be fired. This is an opportunity to bring in a new HC who has a great record, reputation, recruits and assistants who will join him. That's the only move that is acceptable. Otherwise, Terry goes....remember, he hired Gus, extended him and is responsible for this mess.

This is a ridiculous conspiracy theory. Crazy. I hope they keep Harris ( as a positional coach assistant HC) if they can keep the recruits but NO WAY is he gonna be the HC.
I still don’t think initially the hiring of Gus was a mistake. He just over stayed his usefulness.
I agree, as did every media guy at the time. None of us realized he had no idea how to hire assistants or develop players.
It's been a wasted 4 years....we not only made no progress we digressed. That's a mistake. Period.
I wouldn't go that far. I think Gus made a lot of headway in terms of recruiting and helped usher in the Big12 transition.
He was the right hire at the time. Lets hope we can get a coach who is more media friendly and doesn't make boneheaded decisions on/off the field.
This was another gift for UCF.
We had a Coach and A.D. leave right in the middle of recruiting season initially. I think that Gus was the right hire at the time, but again he overstayed his time Great job getting out of the contract with no blood stain Charge on
A coach being "media friendly" is the last thing I would think about being important in a good coach.
It doesn’t hurt when you have a media, friendly coach, and you’re trying to draw a fanbase. Of course that’s not the primary requirement but it is one that is one of importance.
I just prefer a coach who is more open. Watching Gus speak over the years has turned me into a zombie. He was easy to tune out.
Obviously, wins are the #1 priority though.
He seemed to always talked down to people. Like his word was gospel, and everybody else was ill informed.
When he was asked a question that he didn’t like, he would answer it in a way that he thought he was insulted by the question and would move on immediately.
I want a coach that says he will win every game. Like Indiana coach. Gus and his oh gosh, that other team is good. That’s not UCF.
I think he really sees himself as this offensive genius. Doesnt help when espn claims this as well.
The away games I watched on TV all had commentators luading his coaching genius. I was like what planet are these people on?
Funny thing are the analysts say this but most coaches in the business thinks he’s a fraud
So, you're saying that the media is pushing a story that isn't true and people in the know are calling it a fraud and completely disagree with them? I guess that would be consistent with the media in this country over the past 8 years....
Gives me flashbacks of that o’Dreary attempt to screw us with Brent Key. GT will regret that one
Is it possible something was about to come out that would have given us a valid reason to get rid of him without paying? He went from I’m going no where when asked about his future here to working for a former subordinate 🤔
