  1. You disagree? Our SF is bad too. Gregory needs a bit more time to add talent.
  2. It's unfair for me to sound like I'm putting this on Durr, because it isn't his fault that he doesn't have help. But the fact is that if you took the best forward/center of every team from the AAC, Durr is near the bottom of the conference. To compound that, our second best forward, who ever that might be, is certainly worse than every other second best big man on other AAC teams. Agreed?
  3. His free throw shooting was his biggest weakness, I'll give you that. The point is that hes probably #3 or 4 of 12 AAC starting pg's imo. It just didnt show as much as we'd like, due to what I said before, having a lack of big men drained his energy.
  4. Who has been playing at the 4-5 slots? Durr has been slightly below avg, and Yetna hurt. Who else is even out there? Do you not understand you need a decent player over 6'6 in basketball? Who's that player for USF?
  5. I would rate Rideau more than "well he tried hard". He played insane good defense
  6. No big men, I agree. We need forwards badly. The guard play has been exceptional, outside of a decent 3 point shot. There is work to be done. I'm just saying, lets not Leavitt this guy. He's competitive and needs time to figure it out.
  7. Full disclosure, I probably haven't watched enough games to evaluate Gregory's coaching ability. But simply from seeing the players we had, and knowing we lost close games. The guards were probably getting tired from not having a good big man. When your team is getting outrebounded, the guards have to put more energy off the ball, which can hurt their offensive output (especially late in the game). These teams have talent again, which is something we have been missing for big chunk's of USF's basketball history, so in coach Gregory I trust. For now.
  8. Maybe not, but passive coaches have a lock on being unsuccessful in college ball.
  9. Exactly. Pain is only weakness leaving the body.
  10. I don't think age has anything to do with if a person reacts well to more "intense" coaching methods. It all depends on the individual player, and how well the coach got the message across.
  11. If it takes Jeff Scott slapping Johnny Ford's little ass in the face to get a win around here, let's do it. None of this timeout for bad behavior crap. We should have beat Memphis.
  12. I wonder why it is that only successful coaches do this, and trash teams have soft coaches? It's the passion. Ccs would never get upset and "verbally abuse" a player. He didnt care.
  13. I'd prefer an 0-12 Leavitt to a 1-11 Scott while promising you that Leavitt can turn this baby around. The same promise cannot be made for Scott. Lets also recognize that Scott needs to win some games to not be hated. I can understand giving him time. I'm not ready to jump ship on him yet, but we are not showing enough progress. 0 wins vs FBS is unacceptable. CCS got 3 and he was trash. Scott also has an expectation of 5 wins minimum next year too, which seems like a longshot considering we still have no talent developed outside of Daquan Evans. We need more.
  14. Nobody who has been at USF since him has cared about this program one bit. We might as well bring back the one person who cared. As bad as we have been, you'd be crazy to reject this
  15. Seriously. Just hire Leavitt back and I won't care what the record is
  16. Agreed. He has looked better than McCloud all season imo. The only reason I can think of is maybe Johnson wasn't showing as much understanding of the plays. It's the end of the season and I think we see him finish the year out to see if we really want him for the future.
  17. Michigan and New Mexico have less talent than Florida, while USF is in the AAC. It shouldn't be hard for a Florida school to recruit AAC level talent. That seemed like a pretty obvious rebuttal.
  18. It shouldn't be that hard to recruit for a team where you can almost guarantee instant playing time
  19. Well look where that politically correct decision got us. And look where that athlete is now. It created way too much animosity towards a kid that never should have been. It was the obviously wrong decision. If times get dummer, should I adjust my views accordingly? No. Nobody benefitted from that terrible choice. NOBODY.
  20. I disagree that we had to fire him. There are plenty of avenues of discipline that we could have explored other than firing. How about a half year to full year suspension? He is USF football, I honestly think firing him was an extreme reaction FOR ONE SLAP in a sport that requires banging your head 35x a game.
  21. I don't think you're considering how USF and the Joel Miller situation affected him. He is human. He had a passion for USF and we took that away. Then tragedy happened. Passion cannot be faked, so I have no idea why you think he would put in the same passion as a mercenary than he did for USF. And if what he did for USF isn't great, then your standards are incredibly too high, and will probably never be satisfied with USF football ever.
  22. Anybody who talks about Leavitt being outcoached just has no perspective of how fast he made this team good. There are no other examples of new programs in major conferences doing what USF did. Again, no perspective. It takes time, but fans dont understand patience.
  23. What coach Leavitt did after USF is not an indicator of how well he would have done if he stayed at USF. If you couldn't see the passion that he had for this one place, I don't know what to tell you. He loved USF and he was a legendary coach for this program. There is nothing negative you can say about the time he had here outside of the brain dead decision to hit a kid. I'm not saying that he should have gone unpunished, but it was unnecessary to fire him. That's objectively why we are where we are. You're lying to yourself if you think we fall off that way with Leavitt.
  24. I don't follow the team, but for the pollsters to think of USF as almost unanimously #1 without a player on the first team must speak to the depth they think USF has.
  25. I don't like to see Roberts go, but I can see why coach Scott got on him. Questionable safety play, losing big, and he's trash talking the other team instead of focusing on his next play. I hope coach has a vision for this team, and isn't dismissing a player for being passionate. At this point, we just have to trust him.
