apparently it doenst mean much to the UCF people.....
thought we might have had this one wrapped up
I knew that it was going to be a tough task to get him out of the state of Florida. If USF had drug their coaching hire out a couple weeks longer I would have liked our chances. But since they hired one right away (and a good one) he was more likely to stay in state.
yahoo/rivals has this about most of the staff being let go at USF. Not sure if Carnes was close to any of these coaches.
