Am I the only one that thinks he’s a total charlatan and is just masquerading as a football coach??

I’m actually blown away that a decent FBS program would want that guy.

I get it exposure and all that. But do you want the exposure of being the fool who hired him when your team goes 3-8 for 3 years in a row?

The hot takes I've read on it are that people assume the publicity and recruits he can pull in will be worth it, even if they have to replace him later. Also an extra 5 million a year can buy a lot of top notch assistants to do the actual coaching. He just has to sell recruits and coaches on joining him.

At a place like USF, he can probably out recruit the entire conference, just like he did in the SWAC.

So, in a way I don't think he's a great coaching mind, but I do think he has a brand that sells, and that can also produce success.

If he leaves after all the bullshit hes spouted about the HBCUs and building that legacy back then the proofs in the pudding.

So true. But of course it was all bullshit. If he was rich he’d be a used car salesman.

Deon has always been about Deon. This is going to be a tricky one for him.

Meanwhile, St Thomas just collected a $75M donation for a new sports arena.

You could have argued NDSU for literally all of those categories.
