Injuries also have hampered the Tigers, but neither coach is giving up the season.
Coaches generally hate to look back. But you can't blame Memphis Coach Tommy West and UCF's George O'Leary if they've had the urge lately.
Last season, both coaches were savoring program firsts: The Knights were celebrating their first-ever bowl appearance and the Tigers were toasting their school-record third consecutive bowl berth after years of mediocrity.
This season, Conference USA's two highest-paid coaches are overseeing two of the league's worst teams. The teams have three victories between them -- and just one over a I-A program (UCF over Marshall).
