The dad I spoke with cited continuity as an issue; those recruited under Frost and those recruited under Heupel never really quite gelled with each other.

If you can get 5 years out of a coach, you can take one player from redshirt thru senior year, and develop a program around one stable philosophy.

If Malzahn can last that long and have successful seasons (including some high-profile games against Power-5 teams, either by bowls or by deliberate scheduling), he will have done his job. UCF might be ready to join a tougher conference and lure another high-profile coach by then.

The dad mentioned Malzahn's $21M severance from Auburn and his interest in having grandkids come to Orlando as reasons he might stay longer, or at least not need to go anywhere else. But Malzahn is still young enough to get "the itch" and go to those greener pastures. We'll just have to wait and see. I don't think UCF could have done any better this cycle.

Agreed
