Top 20 program, salary near $2 million per year and one of the largest on campus enrollments in the country and its in central Florida and a few minutes from Disney world when he has 3 small kids. Unless “demotion” = “perfect opportunity” I’m confused. Neal Brown is not on UCF’s list. Carry on.

He needs one more 10+ win season....one that doesn't include a HUGE let down game after a HUGE win to be on those kind of lists.

Coach Brown needs another good season at Troy. UCF wouldn’t be a demotion but its not the big spash he would be seeking. UCF is looking to cash in on its recent success. I don’t think Brown is on their radar. Keep up the good work Coach.

As a native Floridian (granted, Panhandle) I will say I agree with the sentiment that Orlando is a culture-less wasteland. If I had (God forbid) to live in Central Florida it would be a no-brainer to do Tampa over Orlando. It at least has the feeling of some history and personality. Jacksonville and Orlando are two of the most bland cities I've ever visited (Jacksonville is terrible - how can be so big yet so lacking in character?) Then again I always say MY Florida ends at Ocala. Whole different place beyond that. Don't worry, the feeling is mutual - as you all probably know the Panhandle is considered a redneck backwater by the fair-weather Floridians in the peninsula. Then again...it is a very...special place.
BUT - to football: Yeah, totally not buying UCF as a downgrade. Like it or not Troy, Alabama literally IS a backwater, the smallest city supporting an FBS team. We consistently punch above our wait, but UCF is a place where a good coach could really build something and compete in New Year's bowls on the regular. As a matter of fact, all the politics and money aside, UCF and USF are both schools that have the potential to join better conferences one day when realignment comes again. UCF has one of the largest student bodies in the nation, is in a recruiting hotbed (just ask troystet), and of course in that big, flat (very populous) land of strip malls and personal injury lawyer billboards known as Orlando. We just saw what a good coach could do there with a championship and undefeated season, and it's not like this is their first title.
That said, I'd agree UCF probably won't hire CNB although it doesn't seem IMPOSSIBLE to me - but I bet they go with someone less flashy (EDIT: than the big names below) - another assistant or even promote from within the program (I hear they're looking at the OC/WR coach for example) OR if they are going with a bigger name I bet they could get Lane Kiffin or Kevin Sumlin, or that guy Mark who ruined Oregon after (The HC we don’t speak of) Kelly left. If I was AD I'd at least put out feelers to Les Miles if he still wants to coach. I would probably avoid Lane Kiffin right now, although he's demonstrated how successful he can be in Florida and how talented of a coach he is.
I don't think we have to worry about CNB leaving this year, though it's not out of the question. And others are right that based on what I've read Brown is going to be selective. Like, for example, I don't know if Brohm got hired away from Purdue to fill one of these jobs, that CNB would try to win there - very tough.
What about Memphis though? Norvell is a name that's been discussed some, and if the carousel spins that far I wonder if they'd considered CNB for that gig. He could win there and it would be a good stepping stone job with a very talented roster. I'm saying that without knowing if their systems and personnel match up.

Fake news. CNB is not on one short list of a major college head coach opening. Just putting ammunition in his belt for a hefty raise from Troy. And one I might add he deserves, along with Coach VK.

I wouldn't be upset either way. The foundation has been lain for the football program just like it was for Jeremy McClain by John Hartwell as AD. But, I''l take his word until it's no longer good.

Growing, yes. Just the next Province of Miami, Totally agree. They are getting a huge influx of Puerto Ricans leaving the island. It is starting to look and feel like Miami-Dade. We went shopping at the big outlet mall Sunday off of Kirkman and I-Drive. Wall to wall tourists from UK, Korea/Japan and South America. Other than some British accents we didn't even hear English. Even downtown is changing. It's growing like crazy but like you daid, it's starting to resemble S FL
