I didn't really mean to be that brief, but my connection slowed to a crawl.. Anyway...thanks for the :-*. Bottom line, I am in favor of a change...the upside outweighs the downside in my humble opinion. As I asked once before, if things are so bad (facilities) for EC, why wouldn't he just leave as you proclaim CJL would? If I am a winner and I can not win at USF because of facilities, I do something about it or I find a place where I can win. I think the complacency argument fits.

Opinions are opinions, and I appreciate yours.

He hates daddy...we're getting an inside look at BullsHater and his problems.

There it is...got my good laugh for the day now off to the Main Board again!

Saw this on the Official Site under Inside Athletics/Sponsorships-ESPN+/GameDay Promotions: Link 1)  Do we have a sponsor? 2)  Do we have a Bull?  This would be pretty awesome...on the sidelines - not outside the stadium... Wonder how much of this is reality...or can be reality at what price?

OFFICIAL RELEASE Courtesy USF SID Office FORMER BULL REGGIE KOHN NAMED DIRECTOR OF BASKETBALL OPERATIONS CAREER ASSIST LEADER COMPLETED CAREER IN 2002-03 Tampa, Fla. – The University of South Florida men’s basketball program has announced the hiring of former Bull standout Reggie Kohn as Director of Men’s Basketball Operations, head coach Robert McCullum announced Tuesday afternoon. “We are elated to add Reggie to the Bulls’ staff,” McCullum said.  “He brings enthusiasm, experience and a strong work ethic back to his alma mater, and his desire to get into coaching at the collegiate level makes him a perfect fit at USF. “In the three years since his graduation, I have really been impressed by his commitment and loyalty to USF,” McCullum added.  “He has brought his teams at Lake Howell to our team camp and has also done everything possible to aid us in our recruiting efforts regarding his players.” Kohn was a four-year starter and letterwinner for the Bulls who graduated following the 2002-03 campaign.  He is USF’s all-time leader in assists (632) and 3-point field goals (252) and his 1,024 career points ranks him 15th on the program’s all-time scoring list.  He earned a degree in physical education in 2003 after helping guide the Bulls to a pair of National Invitation Tournament appearances (2000, 2002). “I am excited about the opportunity to return to USF,” Kohn said.  “I am interested in becoming involved with coaching at the collegiate level and I couldn’t think of a better place to start than my alma mater.” Kohn has spent the last three years at Lake Howell High School (also alma mater), serving as the head boys’ basketball coach and teaching as well.  He directed the program to three state tournament appearances, including a runner-up finish (2003-04) and a pair of final four trips.  The team claimed the district title in each of his three seasons and compiled an overall record of 84-16 during his tenure. Kohn’s squad posted a 28-5 record in 2005-06, earning him state and district coach of the year accolades.  The roster featured the 5-A Mr. Basketball and also included a total of two all-state and three all-conference performers. Kohn replaces Scott Thompson, who resigned in April after serving in the position the previous three seasons.

Not initially...they got trailers, the soccer field and the old sombrero. No. But that is not apples to apples...but I still believe a successful coach would not allow the facilities to be an excuse. I think Jim Leavitt, and other good coaches, would win regardless of where they play.

USFootball is a great Bulls fan. Love your protective nature your support and committment to the Bulls. Correct me if I am wrong, but I remember you posting a couple times before that you thought some of the guys had already given up, maybe just going through the motions - something like that. I know you are close to the program and actually attend games so I took your word for it. To see it also recounted in the press solidifies the fact that something is amiss. You may disagree with the timing and the method, but the story still goes a long way towards explaining some of the problems with the current situation.

Kohn Hired At USF By BRETT McMURPHY bmcmurphy@tampatrib.com Published: May 18, 2006 TAMPA - Former University of South Florida point guard Reggie Kohn accepted a offer today to return to his alma mater as USF's director of men's basketball operations. The past three seasons Kohn had been head coach at Winter Park Lake Howell. He led the Silver Hawks to three consecutive state high school tournaments and an 84-16 record. Kohn started four years at USF (2000-03) and finished as the school's all-time leader in assists and 3-pointers. Kohn replaces Scott Thompson, who resigned last month and is now an assistant AD and basketball coach at The Cambridge School. Story Link

There would be no shortage of applications... Besides, look at the experience EC had before accepting the HC job at USF...and you imply he is worth his salt... I'd love to see the Bulls win out and make the BE tournament, and go further...it would put all this to rest (maybe). We have to get over the "crap of a stadium" argument. There are plans to re-furbish the Red...we should be selling that vision and not the excuse. Someone referenced Leavitt in this regard and he has sold a vision from day one...never using facilities, money, conference (lack of) or Division as an excuse.

I've said it for years and I will repeat it now. Our "glory days" of USF baseball under EC a decade and a half ago were hardly the best we could do. It's not my job to rip on the coaches, but I've had concerns for the Bulls baseball program dating back to the Robin Roberts days. Baseball in Florida has natural advantages - much like football - but we failed to capitalize on them for a very long time. In fact we used them to hide our faults instead of building on them. A program with little in terms of expectations will accomplish the same in the short term.

But the fact that they did talk underscores NO RESPECT for the guy running the program. I can see (and I have commented in the past) where the nepotism alone hurts EC's ability to be objective and put a good team on the field. He undermines himself and I think that is reflected in the players' actions. Face it, he's been left for more than a decade to try it his way. It's not working. The timing of the article, well you may have a point there.

A quarterback controversy at Miramar By JOSEPH GOODMAN jgoodman@MiamiHerald.com Miramar is home to one of the brightest quarterbacks in the county this spring. Senior-to-be Jean Julmiste recently scored a 28 on the ACT. Julmiste's older brother, Pat, started at quarterback in 2005 for South Florida. According to Miramar coach Rodney Gray, the Bulls are interested in Julmiste Part II. South Florida already has visited Miramar's spring practice. But just because a few Division I scholarships might be offered to the book-smart Julmiste, it does not mean his position as the Pats' starting quarterback is a certainty. Gray says the quarterback position is ''wide open.'' Julmiste and sophomore-to-be Eugene Smith both have been impressive. ''It might turn into a battle, and it may not,'' Gray said. Both Julmiste and Smith started at quarterback in 2005 and both played important roles in the Patriots' run to the Class 6A regional finals. Quarterback isn't the only position up for grabs this spring at Miramar. Gray said he has had an overwhelming number of football players participating in spring practice. ''The numbers are great,'' Gray said. ``We have too many kids, really. We have over 100 kids out, and I can't even walk around like I want to.'' Gray said West Virginia, Pittsburgh, Texas A&M and Florida A&M have visited the Patriots' spring practice and everyone is impressed with senior defender Justin Francis. Francis, a 6-3, 250-pound linebacker, had a strong showing recently at a Nike recruiting combine at the University of Miami. Francis ran his 40-yard sprint in 4.5 seconds. Francis played defensive end as a junior, but Gray says the defender will be lining up at middle linebacker next fall. With three experienced senior receivers -- Brandon Akinboyki, Marlon Turner and Brandon Johnson -- to go with a solid quarterback position, Gray says the Pats have worked on their passing game almost exclusively this spring. ''Things are pretty exciting around here, and we can't wait to see everything in action in our spring game,'' Gray said. Miramar plays at Western at 7 p.m. Thursday. Story Link

Career At A Crossroads By BRETT McMURPHY bmcmurphy@tampatrib.com Published: May 17, 2006 TAMPA - University of South Florida baseball coach Eddie Cardieri left Red McEwen Field on Tuesday night after the final home game of the season, easily his most frustrating year in coaching. Cardieri, 51, whose contract expires after this season, has spent nearly half his life at USF, including the past 21 years as head coach. About the only thing that has been around USF longer is the team's decrepit baseball stadium. "USF baseball is Eddie Cardieri," former USF pitcher John Vigue said. Picked to finish third in the Big East, the Bulls (21-32) are in danger of not making next week's eight-team conference tournament in Clearwater. And unless USF wins the tournament, this will mark the school's first senior class in 25 years that never made the NCAA Tournament. As much as youth, injuries and fluctuating lineups have hurt, they are nothing compared with the internal problems that have festered since last season. "The team is so negative," one USF player said. "It's like a cancer has spread within the team. A lot of people have given up. I've never been on a team when kids give up so easily." Current players contacted by The Tampa Tribune spoke anonymously so there would be no fear of retribution and they could give an honest assessment of the program. USF assistants Nelson North and Reggie Jefferson refused comment. The players, who said they like Cardieri personally, were mostly frustrated about a perceived lack of discipline in three specific instances. •Cardieri's choice of punishment over a crank-call incident in February 2005. •His berating a team captain for criticizing Cardieri's son during a game a month later. •Cardieri allowing a pitcher to start two days after arriving late for a scheduled start last season. "I think the biggest thing is there's no respect for the leadership of the program," said Bob Howell, a USF graduate who has been around the program the past 10 years, the last five watching his son, Kris, the Bulls' leading hitter this season. "I've been in this thing a long time. I still can't put my finger on it. I hear, 'It's Eddie this, Eddie that' - that's easy to say - but you can't please all 30 kids." Despite his history - Cardieri has been involved in nearly 70 percent of the 2,123 baseball games played at USF, he's USF's winningest coach in any sport and ranks 28th on the NCAA's all-time active wins list with 792 - his future is unclear. Only Athletic Director Doug Woolard knows whether Tuesday's 9-2 loss to Stetson was Cardieri's final home game, and Woolard won't comment until after the season. "I don't know what's going to happen," Cardieri said. "Should I resign? Should I retire? Might I get fired? I know coaches in my business that have gotten a vote of confidence [and a contract extension] in the last week [of the season]. I can't tell you I have. "Since my contract is up, I just have to wait until the year's over and see what happens. How is this year going to end? It may end up terribly, it might end great." Great described Cardieri's first 12 seasons at USF. The Bulls were 464-277 (.630 winning percentage) with seven NCAA Tournament trips. In the past nine years, however, USF is a not-so-great 265-266 with only two NCAA Tournaments. "Personally, I don't see how I've gotten worse as a baseball man," Cardieri said. "You would think the more you're in this game you'll grow professionally and personally. I've grown a lot, and I'm still learning." Captains Aren't Coaches While current players point to Cardieri's handling of several incidents, at least one former player says the team bears some of the responsibility for what has happened. "We had leaders on the team that wouldn't allow that to happen," Vigue said of his playing days. "They don't have one that has stepped up and got his back. Maybe he gives them too much flexibility." The first incident the current players mentioned occurred the day after Valentine's Day last season. On the bus ride back from a 3-1 win at Bethune-Cookman, USF player Joel Cardieri crank-called a USF female student-athlete. As punishment, the entire team had to participate in the dreaded "Breakfast Club." In past years that involved a variety of strenuous running drills at 5 a.m. Only this time, Eddie Cardieri said there would be no running. Instead, the team cleaned out the dugouts and helped the grounds crew. "I don't see running as a form of punishment," Cardieri said. "If a kid ever keeled over because I was running them, I could never live with myself, let alone I would be sued for negligence. There are other means of discipline that are more practical." Scott Glaser, the winningest pitcher in USF history and a member of the 1996 team that came two wins shy of the College World Series, said Cardieri was a players' coach. "He let the team run the team," said Glaser, now a USF assistant AD. "He would let you play the game. That's what I respected about him. We didn't need to be motivated by outside sources. You just went out there to win. We didn't have to be thrown up against a wall or run until you were sick." Countered one current player: "Coach has gotten softer. You just come out and clean up now. He's not as strong. He's trying to be too nice. You have to be a coach, you can't be a friend. I don't think people work as hard as they could because of that." The second incident was in Honolulu in March 2005. Playing Sacramento State at the Rainbow Tournament, USF second baseman Nick Cardieri swiped at a wide throw to the base, but missed, allowing the runner on third to score. When the inning ended, former center fielder Jeremy Bellotti, voted one of four captains by his teammates before the season, put his arm around Cardieri as they came off the field. "Nick, you have to block that ball," Bellotti recalled saying. "Forget the runner at second, you have to keep the runner on third from scoring." Then, according to Bellotti and several players, Eddie Cardieri ran over from the other side of the dugout "whooping and hollering" about saying that to another player. Cardieri said his son made the correct play. "I don't think I reacted like I did because it was my son," Cardieri said. "I reacted like I did in that situation - I didn't want them to confuse being a captain with being a coach. I'm sorry [but] you can't tell somebody else how to play [their] position when you've got all you can do to play yours." When USF arrived at the hotel after the 7-4 loss, Cardieri mentioned the incident on the team bus. "He told us," Bellotti said, "if anyone ever makes another negative comment about another player 'I'll jack you up. If it wasn't my son, I would have jacked you up.'" The Bulls said they lost more than a game that day. "The whole team agrees Bellotti only said something that anyone else would have said as a captain," one player said. "It lost the respect of some people for Cardieri." Bellotti, who hit .300 as a sophomore and .193 as a junior, was dismissed from the team last summer by Cardieri. Cardieri wouldn't discuss why, and Bellotti said he wasn't given a reason. However, Bellotti remained on scholarship this year. In fact, his scholarship is worth $5,280, the third-highest amount among USF's scholarship baseball players. Cardieri and USF senior associate AD Barbara Sparks-McGlinchy, the school's administrator for baseball, said they wouldn't comment on why Bellotti is still on scholarship. The third incident came before a crucial home game against East Carolina last May. Pitcher Blake Tillett, required to be at the game an hour before the Sunday noon start, overslept and didn't arrive until after 11:30 a.m. When he got to the ballpark, USF already had another pitcher, Daniel Thomas, getting ready. Tillett, who wouldn't have had enough time to get loose, didn't pitch. Two days later, to the surprise of some teammates, he startsed at Florida. "He got 'banged' for [sunday], should you have also 'banged' him for Tuesday?" Cardieri said. "It depends how you look at it. "To discipline one guy is one thing. What about affecting the other 30 guys? If it's going to affect these 30 guys and hurt our chance of winning and getting to the [NCAA] regionals, aren't there other forms of discipline instead of hurting the team? Is that right or wrong? I have no idea." In the past two weeks, Cardieri suspended top reliever Yuri Higgins three games for leaving the stadium during a game April 25 and benched starting right fielder Joey Angelberger against Georgetown on April 29 after arriving late for the game. However, Bellotti and fellow team captains Casey Hudspeth and Bryan Hierlmeier, along with Higgins, met at least four times with USF administrators to discuss Cardieri's perceived lack of discipline last season. Sparks-McGlinchy would not comment on the meetings. As much as the players criticized Cardieri's "soft" discipline, they all agree he is a genuinely nice guy. "He's a great guy," one player said. "He'd give you the shirt off his back if you asked." Family Affects Philosophy? Besides the perceived lack of discipline, another lightning rod for some players has been nepotism. "I think both Nick and I handle it pretty well as a coach-player relationship," Cardieri said. "I don't feel I'm harder on my son. The only thing I consciously do is make sure I'm not easier on him." Jeff Pryor has known Cardieri since 1984. Pryor's son, Ty, a sophomore pitcher from Orlando Olympia High, transferred from USF to Tennessee last season. "We like Eddie, we still do," Pryor said. "He was always fair with Ty. But his philosophy and way of coaching differs with how Ty was raised. I feel Eddie at one time was a very dedicated baseball coach, but with his sons [Nick and Joel] being involved with the program he may have allowed the program to be lax." Former USF player Vigue vehemently disagrees. "Coach Cardieri tried to teach the pro way," said Vigue, now the pitching coach at St. Petersburg College. "He treated us like men, like adults. He puts down things you're supposed to do and expects you to do them. "He would say, 'It's not what you do when people are watching, it's what you do when no one is watching is what wins championships.' Coach would show us the path. It was up to us to do what was right." So what will Woolard do? Every time he gazes out the southside window from his plush corner office in USF's sparkling 2-year-old, $15 million athletic facility, he's staring at the shoddy 39-year-old baseball stadium. A new or upgraded stadium has been promised in the near future. Is Cardieri part of that future? "Eddie has had successful programs," Sparks-McGlinchy said. "He's made a lot of good impressions on a lot of young men that have come through our program. He's a hard worker. He knows the game of baseball." Not many know it better than Cardieri. "Eddie is one of the most knowledgeable 'X and O's' guys I've ever met," said USF softball coach Ken Eriksen, who played baseball at USF in 1983-84. "He knows how to play the game the right way and a lot of what [uSF's softball team does] stems from things I got from him when he was an assistant coach." Andy McHargue, whose son Matt has been on the team the past five years, said it would be a disservice if this is Cardieri's final USF season. "For my son, he's been super loyal and for a parent that's what you look for," McHargue said. "This is his first losing season [since 1998]. His team plays in a dump so the playing field isn't level recruiting-wise. He graduates his guys [all four seniors graduated this year]. It would be an injustice if he's not back." The Bulls probably need a win or two in West Virginia this weekend to make the Big East Tournament. After that, who knows? "What if we win the Big East Tournament and win the regional and go to the super regionals?" Cardieri said. "I can tell you right now, honestly, I'm probably at the lowest point professionally and personally, just because how this year has gone. All that negativity that's out there. "I've been very loyal to this university. I've been loyal and I've been good. I just would like some dignity. If they don't want me to be coach anymore, fine and dandy, they just have to tell me that. That's where I'm at with it right now."

Courtesy USF SID Office USF Falls 9-2 To Stetson In Final Home Game Of 2006 TAMPA, Fla. (May 16, 2006) – The University of South Florida baseball team (21-32) was defeated by the Stetson Hatters (32-21), 9-2, on Tuesday, May 16 at Red McEwen Field. Despite registering nine hits, including a solo home run by senior Brian Baisley, the Bulls suffered their third-straight loss. Baisley went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored. Sophomore Joey Angelberger led all USF hitter with three hits on the night. Third baseman Dexter Butler drove in a run, going 1-for-4 on the night. Of the 20 total hits on the night (by both USF and Stetson) just one (Baisley’s solo shot) went for extra bases. Nick Manganaro suffered his fourth loss of the season, allowing just one run on two hits in two innings of action. In all, the Bulls used five pitchers (Manganaro, Yuri Higgins, Matt Ingram, Ryan Lau and Chase Lirette). Each pitcher accounted for two innings except Lirette, who pitched in ninth inning. The loss marked USF’s sixth-straight to Stetson and dropped the Bulls to 70-74 in the all-time series with the Hatters. USF will travel to Morgantown, W.Va., to face the West Virginia Mountaineers in a three-game series, looking to clinch a spot in the 2006 BIG EAST Tournament.

Only an idiot would think those were the colors...ever try a different browser? Or is it just too much fun for you to try to find a way to put USF down? Why not go irritate the high school you envy...your envy of USF is consuming you. And we clearly have heard enough.

Let's see... Ari/Herm/Rueb will suggest McCullum UEI and bullman3 will suggest Rod Smith smazza will suggest Leavitt You've opened up the can SC....

This thread officially taken over by the lunatic fringe.

Key word in BULLfreak's info might be "new." Does it really matter 'soup? We will do what we will do and all indications are that it would be done "right." Your skepticsim stinks.

Why not drop the angle that we would be building an OCS solely as a marketing tool. Absolutely not. Mutt's point is there is added benefit to having an OCS and anyone thinking striaght will not argue. Not a tinkertoy stadium, but a nice college-feeling campus stadium. There is more to a college football program than simply whether an offense is considered "inept" or not. Have a little pride for the program and get on board with what would be best long term - not just what addresses the most recent complaint du jour.

A new OCS would draw additional "interest" some of which would be converted to season and individual ticket holders. It's been proven time and time again that people will buy tickets to see new facilities...perhaps they'll stay for the game. I know some people that bought USF football tickets for our first year in RJS so they could get an affordable ticket to see RJS. I think we would see net positives, hence I am been an OCS Champion since our Game One in RJS.

You've got some terrible demons to deal with smazz...good luck.

Why not instead of your typical repeated rant you look it up? Very few others care about it.

Courtesy USF SID Office Late Rally Not Enough As USF Falls To St. John’s, 4-3 QUEENS, N.Y. (May 14, 2006) – The University of South Florida baseball team (21-31, 10-14 BIG EAST) fell to the St. John’s Red Storm (36-15, 15-8 BIG EAST), 4-3, on Sunday, May 14 at the Ballpark at St. John’s. Despite a ninth-inning rally by the Bulls, USF fell short one run dropping the team’s second straight and resulting in a weekend series victory for the Red Storm. Trailing 4-0 heading into the top of the ninth, USF rattled off three runs to cut the Red Storm lead to 4-3. However, the Bulls were unable to get the final run needed to tie the game.  Brandin Daniel finished the afternoon batting 1-for-4, including a two-RBI single in the top of the ninth. Center fielder Jim Cassidy went 2-for-3 versus the Red Storm, while sophomore Josh LeRoy hit 1-for-4. Davis Bilardello picked up his sixth loss of the season, allowing four runs on nine hits and striking out three in five innings of action. Relief pitchers Yuri Higgins and Chase Lirette combined for three shutout innings, allowing two strikeouts in the final three frames of the contest.  USF will host the Stetson Hatters on Tuesday, May 16.
