So in the last week, there has been a flurry of news on coaching moves. It turns out one of those 5 changes named above, Anthony Becht, is moving from St. Louis to Orlando and not leaving the UFL 4.5. I had heard a month ago that he wanted to go to the University of South Florida, which is actually not in what is modern South Florida but in Tampa and surrounded by a concrete jungle of dumpy strip malls. And so it appears Becht wanted to go to Florida anyway? Right now here in the winter is definitely good timing to move to Florida.

Now the only surprise as the league goes to inexperienced coaches, who are former players often locally where they are coaching in this regional draft bullshit era of the UFL 4.5, is Rick Neuheisel, who is a seasoned veteran with quite a resume! Interestingly, Neuheisel played quarterback in the USFL 1.0 for the San Antonio Gunslingers.
Aye, it was a different time.
I guess maybe in retirement from coaching and in the off-season for college football that Neuheisel wanted something to do?
Now I’m sure for many reading here now that sitting on the front porch for most of four or five days in nice weather, TV hooked up too with your phones, grilling, eating, smoking, drinking, and farting around in the fresh air sounds very appealing, but hey try it first and then get back to us. As a wise man once told me, “You can only eat so much ice cream.”
I don’t blame Neuheisel at all, and he continues in his role as a college football analyst with our CFL forum friends at CBS.
Now on to see what they really do with the players.
