The big thing will be if UCF can muster the cash to bring in a pool of assistants that Gus wants and he has experience dealing with. It’s one thing for him to cash out and take a lower paying job. It’s another for him to attract a semi-intact staff with SEC paycheck expectations. If it goes south for Gus it will be one of three things:
1). He has to hire younger assistants he isn’t comfortable with;
2). He has to adjust to a current group of players that didn’t want him and know he had to be convinced to take the UCF job.
3). He suffers through PTSD every game day having flashbacks to the 2007 CUSA Champ game in the Bounce House where the GOL built defensive line swallowed his offense whole and spit it out.
