Based on the candidates you have listed, Billy Gonzalez makes a ton of sense.

UCF can be a good job. I figured their student population was around 45k. I had no idea it was 60k.

UCF averaged 42k per game in 2013
UCF averaged around 38k per game in 2014

It would be a little awkward hiring the successor of Taggart when he has been terrible at USF but I like Brohm

He was once removed from Taggart.
Petrino was Taggart's successor.

While Willie Taggart doesn't have an impressive w/l 26-42record as a HC, he has taken over programs that had to rebuild. WKU from 2007-2009 was 9-27. Willie @ wku 16-20.

USF was 16-21 the 3 years before Willie. Willie is currently 10-22 in his 3rd year.

hey brad pitt maybe it's hard to find women of your caliber but if you don't think ucf has hot girls then you crazy


I was very disappointed in the women during my time at UCF (granted I use the top SEC schools as a measuring stick for poonanny). There were a few fine mother frickers, but for every hot whore at UCF, she was surrounded by 100 Maggie Gyllenhaal in The Dark Knight looking trolls.

My ex went to UCF for undergrad. There is some talent there. USF is a school for the kids who nearly failed high school and got wait listed at Eckerd.

Tosh is a UCF alum. Kiffin as the head coach at UCF would be amazing.

I hope they don't take Collins but is would be funny to hear what the MSU fans would say. They seem to want to down him when he left for UF. I think a defensive coach would not be a good idea. Durkin would be a funny one to get a head coaching job .

For all we know, it may be somebody that may not be listed in the op.

Very possible. Ucf is still without an AD and the most logical choice is the Bowling Green AD, a ucf grad. So Dino Babers may be someone you want to add.

If I was Kirby Smart. I would jump on the UCF coaching job. It would be the perfect launching point for an SEC job.

Florida recruiting
Good facilities
In the AAC so if you win you will get attention
Program that has a history of winning

UCF expected to interview, so far:

Randy Shannon
Geoff Collins
Dino Babers
Gene Chizik
Brian Polian

Polian would be a little uninspiring but I don't know much about him and dislike his old man. Collins and Babers are my two favorites from the list so far.

If true, I'm on the fence on this one. I'm sure Dino will do good, but I was expecting UCF to make a splash on this one.
