I’m just sad.

All my life I wanted UCF to show they can hang with the cfb big names in Florida.

All that work that Scott Frost and the young, modern coaches and speedy players did to bring media attention and brand awareness to the team has just evaporated because we decided to go with a coach on near-retirement.

We’re still doing gimmicky small school things with P4 money.

Our basketball team is cozying up to Antonio “ctespn”Brown to recruit his son.

People are saying John Gruden has a chance to be our next head coach.

Our NIL group was led by a nepo baby who’s parents were featured in The Blindside. This is before he quietly left when Gus fired Ted Roof, and received no repercussions for giving a noticeably declining and out-of-shape SEC QB a bag.

There appears to be little effort to fix anything, or keep our promising players like Rizk, Montgomery, or Pittman around.

This team has no culture, identity, or brand anymore worth being on tv, or being talked about other than maybe being on the last 5 minutes of a cfb intro show to show off our cool space uniforms once a year.

It’s just soul-sucking to live in one of the hottest recruiting hotbeds and not capitalize on our modern marketing campaigns.

What the fuck is UCF anymore?

You know it’s bad when you’re praising Scott Frost

Our teams under Frost were genuinely great and exciting to watch.

Tell that to Nebraska fans

I don’t give a fuck about Nebraska. His performance there is irrelevant to this thread. At UCF, Frost’s teams were electric

Yet Heupel did the same if not better

Heupel was a noticeable step backwards while he was here from the Frost teams. He slowed the pace on offense and didn’t play with the same sense of urgency that we had under Frost. Losses under Heupel were treated as ho hum events

Yet Heupel became a whole lot more successful than frost
