USF Cougars - 2023

Pam Gohl steps down as Director of Athletics to take a Deputy Athletic Director position at Moorhead. This seems like a curious move to me.

I'm guessing the Deputy Athletic Director position at a state school pays better than the Director of Athletics position at USF.

Yes, this surprised me too. I wonder what the deal is.

Assist AD/SWA resigned in the spring to take a job at the conference office...

Looks like they also have a couple of O line transfers that will help . Excited to see how things come together over the summer and into camp .

Grosskopf and Kumi will definitely help. Those two along with Botsford, Crawford and Rice will be a big difference. They won't be as deep as the last few years on the D Line but I like their starting lineup

[Matt Witwicki]

Yes..Grosskopf and Kumi are both "back". Grosskopf had been getting some FBS offers and was an all-conference performer..so that's kinda a big return. Kumi has been hurt a fair amount during his career but was being looked at by schools like USD..and has a nice 6-6 240lb frame and athleticism. They are both back on the USF roster page.

[Iowacoo]

I had heard one. I like your version better. Lol

Do tell Illini

Two D lineman that hit the portal will be back form what I am hearing

Attended Coach Young's memorial service this morning out at the Bob. Pretty well attended. Went for about two hours as many people shared lots of memories of a great man.

On Matt and Pat's sports chat they talk extensively about USF former player initiative fund raising arm. Very interesting and you find it early on the broadcast, before they talk about AU baseball.

Might be some familiar names on the roster this Summer.....

If this was the mindset of the coaching staff, that is a problem. At this level you should want your best players to impact the game as much as possible. Yes, that very likely means you will not have them for 4 seasons. But limiting their impact with the hope of keeping them around for another season would be foolish.

I think it's more about the impact of the portal and the unintended consequences that come from it. I think they felt he'd do well..but probably not bust outta the gates in the dramatic fashion he did.

Augieholic....Durfee had 3 sacks against the Vikings and out of respect for Jon Anderson, he was 4-1 against his crosstown rival. So..yeah.

In a related story Jon Anderson is no longer employed by USF.
