2005 - Division Title, Championship Game, and 1st UCF Bowl
2007 - 2nd Division Title, 1st Championship, and 2nd UCF Bowl
2009 - 3rd UCF Bowl
2010 - 3rd Division Title, 2nd Championship, and 4th UCF Bowl (defeated UGA), Top 25 Finish
2012 - 4th Division Title, Championship Game, and 5th UCF Bowl
2013 - Went 8-0 in AAC, 3rd Championship, and 6th UCF Bowl (BCS Win against #5 Baylor), Top 10 Finish
2014 - Went 7-1 in AAC, 4th Championship, and 7th UCF Bowl
He also was named Coach of the Year like 5 times while coaching UCF.
No one else comes close.
And the team went 13-46 in the years you didn't mention. 81-72 overall record if you give him all the blame for 2015. He had some nice highs and some bad lows.

The simple fact is UCF started football in 1977, and USF started in 1997. If you want to compare the accomplishments of your first 20 seasons to our first 20, I'd gladly do so.
To turn a total blind eye to that single fact makes all other arguments ignorant and without merit. You can attempt to say it was a different time and how things were way different, or that you started at a lower level and honestly non of that matters. You started a program at a certain time and so did we. go ahead and list all of you accomplishments of the first 20 years and I will be happy to go toe to toe with you.
Then in 20 years, we will see if we too have won a major bowl and conference championships... Id dare say that if you are honest with yourself, you know we will.
So kudos for winning a Major bowl in your 37th year (guessing).... Ill let you know in 17 years if we beat that.
UCF joined fbs in 1996. USF joins fbs in 2001. Nice try.
Yes, well, we know this poster. But you can't have it both ways, if you want to claim a UCF advantage based on D-III and D-II history and not recognize any difference then fine, we top your 1 week #2 ranking with our #1 ranking in 1988.
UCF fans are really the worst... the total moronic mess that is your argument is insane. So because your school decided to not join a higher division that you can just forget that you started football 20 years before us.... thats ******* stupid.
Notice in my original post, I didnt mention any accomplishments at all, even though there are several. The simple truth is you guys didnt do a damn thing in your first 20 years and we were at that level winning BCS/P5 level games.
Yep, you won a BCS championship amid 2 cheating scandals that many believe didnt uncover everything that was done, but i digress.
For all your big win, you still dont have anywhere near the number of BCS/P5 wins that we have and were half your age. Well win the east this year and maybe the conference... and were returning basically everyone in 2017. well talk... cause very soon the one thing you have will be gone and well have accomplished more in half the time.
Yes yes, we know USF walk on water and they're awesome and all of that. UCF sucks and will always be terrible .
Glad we can agree.
