2 year extension

Scratching my head on that one........why do that? If he only gets 2 wins next year and they fire him, this will only increase the money they are on the hook for him.

I assume its for recruiting purposes.

Coach needs 4 years on his contract if he's wants players to believe he will be with them from their freshman year to senior year.

And to attract a good OC. It is what it is. What I don't understand is Gregory's extension. SMH!!!

Look at the Bright Side: Women's Basketball

Green UConn lives on

Not surprised on that one. I have been telling you guys that the administration and boosters like what he is doing within the program. Eventually he will have to win but if he does so in the next couple of years as most expect, this will be looked at as a good move. This was done to give program stability in recruiting and giving him the best chance to succeed.

I have no problem with that move what so ever.

Now extending Gregory in basketball until 2026 is a horrible move in my book, as I don’t see @nything he is doing that is helping improve basketball.

What seems strange to me is not the extension of Scott’s contract, it’s that their AD announced the extension of literally almost every athletics coach in a joint statement to promote “stability”. Most ADs evaluate coaches of each sport individually based on their own performance. Not sure what to think about that…

Didn't the guy have 3 more years remaining on his contract already? What is the rush to extend a guy who has a resume that's way closer to deserving to be fired after 2 years than extended? "Stability" is an absolute nonsense phrase to ever throw out in the coaching profession, it doesn't exist. I hope this works out for you guys, but even if he wins this extension was pointless and a huge risk for no actual payoff as he'll still leave same as every other AAC coach if he wins.

Of course he will leave if he wins. The point is that as I keep saying administration and boosters are happy with what he has done outside of wins/ losses and believe he will turn it around. If he does leave that will be more years in the buy out.

Anyways we will find out in next two years if it was a good move, but as a USF fan I’m ok with it.

Pretty sure you can believe he's going to turn it around and yet be smart enough to know he's got 3 years remaining on his deal and no need to extend it until some sort of results show up. I'd have lost my mind if ECU extended Houston after last season and through 2 years he had more than double Scott's win total. Your boosters/administration is filled with dumb people.

Ok let us worry about ours and you worry about yours.

Words fail me...

Either those donors/administration/whoever really know what they are doing... and CJS will really turn us around... or this is just USF being USF. And we'll be embarrassed for another 5 years. And probably be paying multiple coaches again. And we never learn...

Really rooting for him, but seeing absolutely NOTHING to warrant an extension. Not with 3 years left. How can the justification be stability... when if he fails he's gone anyway? All this does is ensure we'll have to PAY him the additional years. Not that we have to keep him. I don't buy this gives him any real stability. Hell he is already on a hot seat next season.

Its all good. Giving a coach an extension shortly before firing them has never bit you guys in the wallet before…why should it start now?

Hell yeah

Agree with all this.

USF was better this year, but they still weren't very good. Will be interesting to see if they can make a leap. UCF going to the big 12, Miami getting an Ace Recruiter, we'll see what happens with Florida and FLorida State but the Seminoles are recruiting pretty well at least. The degree of difficulty at USF is higher than ever.

USF’s issues in football, basketball and athletic department will not be fixed overnight. It will take years of one with a clear vision on what it wants to be @nd how to get there.

Except for the extension to Gregory, most of of those in power @nd boosters at USF are ok with these moves. Giving some type of stability and time to build on our coaches and AD will give them more time to focus on building OCS and other facilities they need to focus on.

Will it work out? Only time will tell. But this is a done deal so it really doesn’t matter what those outside of USF think about it.

Well, he did finally beat Temple this year, so there’s that.
