So, we're sitting around the office, and talk turns to the six worst coaching jobs in the BCS leagues. Our "winners": Baylor from the Big 12, Colorado from the Big 12, Miami from the ACC, Nebraska from the Big 12, Penn State from the Big Ten and USF from the Big East. The worst of the worst could be USF, given how the rest of the Big East treats basketball. That doesn't bother new Bulls Coach Stan Heath, who was fired by Arkansas, then hired by USF last week. "We're going to win," he said at his introductory news conference. "And we're going to win real soon, a lot sooner than a lot of people think." Uhh, Stan: You're not going to win soon with the talent on hand. There's a reason USF has gone 4-28 in league play in its two seasons. Heath is known as a good recruiter and a so-so X's and O's guy. Recruiting to Arkansas is a heck of a lot easier than recruiting to USF, though.

what is it with people in Orlando?  we all know how the UCF fans have a secret crush on us but they media up there as well?

when was the last time you saw any mention of UCF in the Times or Trib?

the worst job in the BCS is still better then most CUSA jobs.

Well, they are right about winning with the talent on hand.  

Did you really expect anything positive from Orlando ?

[crambone]

Orlando sucks.

The article was written by Mike Huguenin who called USF the 2nd best football team in the state of Florida back in December.

So No. He wasn't out for blood. He was being honest. Can you really disagree with what he said?

This guy is a complete moron.

The BCS has nothing to do with NCAA basketball.  BCS stands for Bowl Championship Series.  There are no bowl games in basketball; it only applies to football.

Half the schools in the BIG EAST do not even play football at the D-IA level or even play football at all.

Why is this such a hard concept for people to gasp?

UCF news on the Orlando Sentinel?

No... that would be a first.

USF news on the Orlando Sentinel?

Not surprised.

the BCS leagues are collectively grouped as such because they are the 6 most powerful leagues in college sports. It's just much easier than saying the 6 majors.

I don't think he was trying to pull the BCS into the argument.

like I said he called USF the 2nd best team in the state this season. I don't think he was going for blood on this one.

23. Papajohns.com Bowl, Dec. 23: East Carolina (7-5) vs. USF (8-4). This bowl loses a few points for having the worst name. USF was the second-best team in this state this season. Can Coach Jim Leavitt keep that going? ECU was a big surprise under second-year Coach Skip Holtz.

he's right USF bball coach is a garbage job. Someone needs to do it though. If Stan puts the work in it he can make something good

Everything he said is basically true... I will only disagree that recruiting Arkansas is a "heck of a lot easier" than USF.  Arkansas might have more tradition and better facilities, but I think recruiting kids to Tampa is a "heck of a lot" easier than Fayetteville.
