At Miami, Scott will replace Mario Cristobal, who was to have coached the Hurricanes' tight ends in 2013 before getting hired to be the offensive line coach at Alabama. Cristobal would have also held the title of associate head coach with the Hurricanes, before leaving six weeks into the job.
A member of USF's original recruiting class in February 1996, Larry Scott returned to USF in 2005 as director of high school operations, before first moving into coaching as a graduate assistant in 2006 and later as the tight ends coach, a position he accepted on Jan. 23, 2007.
Scott coached the tight ends in 2008 before switching to the offensive line in 2009. Scott returned to the tight ends in his sixth year with the program in 2010 and took over as running backs coach in 2012. In his return to the tight end position, Scott and his group helped USF to its fifth-straight eight-win season, making it one of only 15 programs nationally and one of just 10 in BCS leagues that had accomplished the feat.
The offense saw tremendous improvement in 2011 as USF improved its national ranking in total offense 75 spots from 2010 to 2011, the largest jump of any school in the country. The most dramatic improvement came in the passing game, where USF improved by 85 yards per game. Only two teams saw a greater jump in the passing offense national rankings, as the Bulls improved 59 spots. In addition, the Bulls finished first in the BIG EAST in rushing and sacks allowed.
As the offensive line coach, Scott helped mentor center Sampson Genus to a second-team All-BIG EAST honor in 2009 as voted on by the coaches. Florida State defensive coordinator Mickey Andrews called Genus the best center they had seen all season.
In addition, redshirt freshman tackle Mark Popek was named Freshman All-America by both Sporting News and ESPN, while guard Zach Hermann earned third-team honors by Phil Steele. A unit that had to replace a lot of experience lost from the 2008 team, the 2009 offensive line turned out to be one of the team's strengths after facing question marks across the line coming into fall practice.
In his first full season, USF saw the development of Cedric Hill into one of the most feared tight ends in the BIG EAST. He continued to help the offense and his position group excel in 2008. Hill earned second-team All-BIG EAST honors, while Ben Busbee stepped into a prominent role alongside Hill.
Where Scott has made arguably the biggest impact on USF is in recruiting. His work in Miami and throughout Dade and Broward counties has helped USF reel in a string of highly-regarded classes. In fact, many considered the 2008 class among the best in program history. Then, Scott and the entire coaching staff went out and signed a 2009 class that was ranked as high as No. 21 nationally and was praised again as the best in program history.

Canes coach Jim Morris said ace starters Eric Whaley and Bryan Radziewski, who have yet to pitch this season, might throw one or two innings in the games against St. Thomas and/or Barry this week.

There IT is right there.
McGee defended D’Onofrio: “It’s a good system if it’s executed. All Coach D can do is the make the calls. We had mental breakdowns, guys not getting deep enough in coverage.”
D’Onofrio blitzed some, but not a ton, because he didn’t want to put his young secondary at risk and “you have to figure out the risk/reward. It comes down to putting guys in situations they’re ready for...
Our young D with 9 true freshman wasn't ready. I keep telling you guys it had nothing to do with schemes but what the guys were learning in film room. Sometimes you gotta coach to what you have not over coach it. I'll take the words of an insider and the use of my football expertise over any fan's opinion on a 3 hour game...

Posted from Seantrel's woman:
"Below is a statement by Lou Anna K. Simon, executive committee chair and Michigan State University president on the NCAA regulatory pathway and Mark Emmert’s leadership:
“The NCAA Executive Committee continues to support the association’s broad-based reform agenda. This reform agenda must include meaningful change in the regulatory process beyond the changes in enforcement that have already been enacted.
"We, as the Executive Committee, on Friday affirmed our expectation that the association move forward with the next phase of its regulatory review. A thorough examination and subsequent improvement of processes, policies, procedures and investigative tools is necessary. Developing a mechanism for monitoring adherence with policies, while also reviewing the interaction between the legal and regulatory staffs, is key to moving forward. In short, we demand the highest level of integrity and accountability not only from our peers but also from the national office. While progress has been made, additional important work remains.
"Mark Emmert was hired to lead a major transformation of the NCAA. Much has been accomplished without fanfare, such as academic reforms, enhanced fiscal accountability and organizational transparency. The Executive Committee and President Emmert recognize there is much yet to do and that the road to transformational change is often bumpy and occasionally controversial. Therefore, on Friday the Executive Committee unanimously affirmed its confidence in Mark’s leadership as president and its support for his ongoing efforts to implement these essential and historic reforms.”
Translation (paragraph by paragraph):
We messed up. Big time. It's so bad that it makes those Twilight movies look good.
This isn't the first time we messed up, and we hope that we can shred documents and wipe servers before we get investigated by a governing body. Sex. Oh, and we're going to fire people.
Yeah, we haven't found anybody to take the job. Nobody really wants it, because whoever gets it is going to get hammered. So Emmert is our lightning rod. Kisses!
-The NCAA

360Cane,
You have to have some depth of talent to work with. The middle (DT'S) are made of adobe, they crumble to easily and the LB's are not far behind. We can crack on the secondary all day but if the front 7 don't do thier jobs, those back 4 are toast.

Very manageable schedule for Canes. Can't wait!
Oh, and I'll be attending the Canes season finale Nov 29 @ Pitt!
Posted by: Ohio_Cane | February 25, 2013 at 03:56 PM
What's to like:
* For once, this is not a front-loaded schedule
* Good chance we'll be 4-1 or even 5-0 before we start ACC play
What's no to like:
* FSU & VTech within 7 days
* No more open dates after mid-October (UTough and staying healthy will be critical)
* Season finale on the road with only 5 days to prepare

Seantrel will be a first round pick in 2014. When Seantrel is at his best, he is absolutely dominant.

Schedule sets up for a magical run. 10-12 wins and a BCS bowl is doable.
