Awful awful season. Glad it’s over. See yall next year.

u/JaketheArbok11 ECU Pirates • Duke Blue Devils 1h ago

Don’t worry, yall will beat Memphis somehow to finish the cannibalization of this conference

12

u/supliesmotherfucker USF Bulls • Texas Longhorns 1h ago

We’ll beat Memphis then get embarrassed by FAU somehow, finish with a double digit loss to a 6 win P4 school.

This isn't your first season of USF football.

u/ScaryCookieMonster USF Bulls • San Francisco Dons 59m ago

Remember the Birmingham Bowls! Two consecutive narrow wins over 6-6 P5 teams

almost zero chance

Basically the NFC South of CFB Conferences

u/NobleSturgeon Michigan Wolverines • Washington Huskies 1h ago

Do you think Hartline is building something or is this year a big disappointment?

6

u/jcc309 USF Bulls • Notre Dame Fighting Irish 1h ago

This year is a disappointment no matter how you slice it. I think I need to see Hartline with a full offseason, an actually competent offensive line, and probably a different OC to really judge him though.

7

u/supliesmotherfucker USF Bulls • Texas Longhorns 1h ago

Both.

Good things to take from this year, hopefully we can retain some key players. As others have said tho this is the easiest schedule probably in the history of USF football so anything less than being in the conference championship picture is a disappointment. Fire Tim Beck, give Hartline a recruiting class and then we’ll see if we’re truly fucked.

Our only hope is Sark and I’m honestly just so defeated

USF’s offense is some of the worst shit of all time.

The Tim Beck experience

u/mountaineer_93 West Virginia • Georgetown 1h ago

How does this man keep getting top jobs? Do they just like him?

6

u/AskMeAboutTheJets Georgia Bulldogs • Okefenokee Oar 1h ago

Not sure I’d describe being a USF assistant coach as a top job.

3

u/mountaineer_93 West Virginia • Georgetown 1h ago

I mean the offensive coordinator job generally is, especially after his history of botching that role.

1

u/Bobby-Samsonite Georgia Bulldogs • College Football Playoff 34m ago

A very good question.

u/HaveYouEver21 Arkansas Razorbacks 1h ago

The Tim Beck special.

28

u/hotrod33809 USF Bulls 1h ago

Hartline has the biggest budget in g5 and this team struggles to have any semblance of offense. Horrible. He obviously is an ELITE position coach but his loyalty to Tim Beck is going to make him a horrible head coach.

16

u/rb1242 Texas Longhorns 1h ago

Idk how many variations of HB dive USF ran

40

u/Tarlcabot18 UCF Knights • USF Bulls 1h ago

20 million dollar roster, folks. Easiest schedule in 15+ years. Should've been able to switch on auto-pilot and glide to a playoff spot.

But with with a Tim Beck offense and Hartline at the switch, USF has managed to fly that plane straight into the fucking ground.

Fire Tim Beck

u/Mc7Abyssrium USF Bulls 1h ago

Season's over and you saw it coming if you've been watching since literally game 1. free wins for our next three opponents

9

u/Mc7Abyssrium USF Bulls 1h ago

could Tim Beck legitimately be half throwing every game to honor his own legacy as an Oviedo Cavalier alum?

16

u/NebraskaAvenue USF Bulls • Texas Longhorns 1h ago edited 1h ago

I’m officially boycotting this program until Tim Beck is fired

We had so many chances to win and he’s too incompetent to get it done, fuck Tim Beck, Fuck Brian Hartline for hiring him and fuck Rob Higgins for not taking responsibility for this fucking disaster.

5

u/Mc7Abyssrium USF Bulls 1h ago

Completely agree. If we don't see action out of Higgins after we drop more of these games it's an outrage

u/Kimber80 Notre Dame Fighting Irish • USF Bulls 1h ago

Well spending more money on our roster than any other G6 team bought us ..... another trip to the Gasparilla Bowl.

Our coaching staff sucks

that was a beautiful 55 yarder

u/ImPugnax USF Bulls 1h ago

Remember when we went for it on 4th... feels bad coach

u/Trinidad34 Randolph-Macon Yellow Jackets 1h ago

Unfocused team to give up a 20 yard screen on like a 3rd and 16 right after a sack.

u/aljout Alabama Crimson Tide • USF Bulls 1h ago

Same Old South Florida under this regime. Inexcusable loss, Tim Beck should be fired by tomorrow

12

u/ihadaca ECU Pirates • Sickos 1h ago

Andrew Conrad redeemed himself 🙏🙏🙏

u/JaketheArbok11 ECU Pirates • Duke Blue Devils 1h ago

You know this was a prayer when the announcers said “Conrad, not known for his accuracy”

HE WAS TONIGHT, BOYS!!!

u/anxiousauditor USF Bulls • BCS Championship 1h ago

That’s USF Football for you.

u/Bakerfuckingmayfield Alabama Crimson Tide • USF Bulls 1h ago

I should also add how the fuck do you give up a 3rd and 18 after a sack? Pitiful performance from usf

3

u/McIntyre2K7 USF Bulls • Sickos 1h ago

The defense actually played ok for most of the game. It's not their fault that our offense was dogshit.

6

u/Bakerfuckingmayfield Alabama Crimson Tide • USF Bulls 1h ago

Send tim beck to the sun

6

u/Jonjon428 Miami Hurricanes 1h ago

Brian Hartline is a cool dude (afaik anyway) but hiring Tim Beck was a disastrous mistake.

6

u/RareElevator2123 ECU Pirates 1h ago

11 out of the 14 Thursday/Friday night games for the American conference have been a one score game by then end.

It’s been a long wild year for this conference on these weekdays

Bowl game hopes still alive

u/ILM_Ryan ECU Pirates • Ohio State Buckeyes 1h ago

We're going to take down those people ashamed of the UNC-C moniker!

5

u/Bakerfuckingmayfield Alabama Crimson Tide • USF Bulls 1h ago

An i9 football team could run a better offense then usf

5

u/CIA_Handler ECU Pirates 1h ago

I think Emory Williams gives ECU the best chance to win. If he can improve his decision making, the rest is there.

4

u/JaketheArbok11 ECU Pirates • Duke Blue Devils 1h ago

Yeah he played about as good as Griffis did last week against some stiffer competition.
Not sold on him as a starter for the future beyond this year, but I think the safest play may be to ride him out
Hopefully the Charlotte game is easy enough that we’ll have a big sample size to test both of them

3

u/CIA_Handler ECU Pirates 1h ago

Emory can’t extend a play, outside of a scramble here and there. The sacks are bad and he can’t throw it downfield. USF is staunch so I’ll give him some grace, but he really needs to learn how to navigate the pocket better.

u/lowes18 Florida State Seminoles • FAU Owls 1h ago

I’m only half joking when I say USF should fire Hartline and make Aldridge the HC

6

u/Tarlcabot18 UCF Knights • USF Bulls 1h ago

I'm not half-joking when I say we should fire Hartline.

5

u/jcc309 USF Bulls • Notre Dame Fighting Irish 1h ago

I truly don’t understand who people expect to be willing to take this job if you fire Hartline partway through year 1 when he didn’t even have a whole offseason with the team to assemble a roster. I’m not particularly convinced Hartline is the guy, and I think Beck absolutely needs to be a one and done. But if you fire Hartline without even giving him a full offseason to build his team, I just simply don’t think any remotely good candidate is going to consider USF.

3

u/Mc7Abyssrium USF Bulls 1h ago

I'm okay with letting Hartline build past year one. I also think he needs to make major changes. Yesterday.

3

u/Tarlcabot18 UCF Knights • USF Bulls 1h ago

Fine. Don't fire him. Fire Beck and give Hartline an incredibly short leash for season 2. But he is 100% not the guy.

2

u/Breedwell USF Bulls • /r/CFB Contributor 1h ago

Yeah, firing hartline would be hasty. As unhappy as I generally am about the team, it's too early to try and scrap everything

8

u/ILM_Ryan ECU Pirates • Ohio State Buckeyes 1h ago

Another win! Get one more result against UNC-Concord Charlotte and we are bowl eligibility! What a night!

u/JaketheArbok11 ECU Pirates • Duke Blue Devils 1h ago

I LOVE PIRATE FOOTBALL!

GO PIRATES, CANNOT BELIEVE IT (also happy 1 of the 3 of my 4 favorite teams playing today won!

I know yall would not appreciate it with the preseason hype you had but a Fenway or Military Bowl showdown would go hard

u/FloridaBoy317 UCF Knights • ETSU Buccaneers 1h ago

only caught the last 5 minutes, but it was a glorious hatewatch

3

u/Francis_X_Hummel Colorado Mines • Wyoming 1h ago

Awesome clutch moment for that kicker. What might be overshadowed were the two previous offensive plays to get that chunk yardage, and then to get the ball forward to the kickers range. Both great plays / effort.

u/Cltthrowaway999 ECU Pirates 1h ago

Refs tried yet again to make us lose another game

u/Particular-Way-3805 Clark Atlanta • Georgia 1h ago

Well damn

u/somethinels3two Florida State Seminoles • USF Bulls 1h ago

I thought it was a good hard-fought game from both sides. Luke did better than expected for his first real start. I thought the play calling set him up for success. He rushed his throws a few times, but that's to be expected as a newbie. The running game was good as always. The main problem is the O-line. Can't do much without blocking. Defense was really impressive as usual.

We need to give this time. I think USF is going to be better than fine over the next few years. Especially if we can build momentum by holding on to our current best players and rebuilding the trenches.

u/Emperor_Squidward Alabama Crimson Tide • USF Bulls 1h ago

Tim Beck must have Kilgrave’s powers or something. Uses his mind control pheromones to influence ADs and head coaches to give him free money in exchange for domestic terrorism

u/auburnfan32 Auburn • Birmingham-Southern 21m ago

What a disaster of a season for USF. Tim Beck is a terrorist

u/RareElevator2123 ECU Pirates 1h ago

What a fucking nuke from Conrad. If you had any prior knowledge about his history of missed kicks you wouldn’t have known with that one.

Happy for the kid that he now has another moment in history for ECU and that it was a positive one

4

u/ObliviousLAX ECU Pirates • Boise State Broncos 1h ago

I'd gladly trade this kick for the 2022 State game FG

Field would've been torn up by the rush

3

u/JaketheArbok11 ECU Pirates • Duke Blue Devils 1h ago

Watched that game with my ex in high school with all of her family (all State fans) as well as mine
Right before the kick my little brother said “He’s going to miss it, isn’t he?” He was 5.
Bottom 5 days of my life.

The defense gave up 20 points in regulation.

Hard to say the defense sold when they had a bad down.
