He was .500 overall and left before he could really shown usf if he could coach without flowers , Mack, mcs, and the  stud recruiting class. He has struggled since but he got paid a lot.  I don't blame him for taking the  money and big gigs while he could. 

He went into two disasters at Oregon and FSU.  With the offense he built at USF you knew schools with big money were coming for him.   Maybe USF should have offered him more money and see where that could have gone.  They sure wasted a lot of money and time with CCS and CJS

Simps for Leavitt?

In 2022, after the evidence of the alternative, this is ridiculous. Every coach we have had since Leavitt has had more resources and done less with it. I think Skip got like 50% more money for assistants. CJL was recruiting 2 start centers and QBs and turning them into all American DEs and NFL safeties. The team didn't have depth, couldn't compete in recruiting as a baby in the college football world. He started winning some recruiting battles right before he was fired, he was actually building that depth. 

USF was instant gratification central before it was cool. Some of you thought that 10 years of being in existence and 3 years in a power conference were enough to just be legitimate contenders on auto pilot, but even after seeing the destruction of that, this "point" still comes up on this board. I maintain that 2009 was our year to do some crazy stuff with Grothe as a senior, JPP, and a system in place that was successful the previous 2 years. Grothes injury probably changed the course of the program. 

Leavitt had a top 30 recruiting class in 2009, he was finally getting solid talent in, and we gave up on the progress. 

I would say Willie Taggert did very well for himself.   He had a 6 - 2 and a 7 -1 conference record in his last two years as USF's head coach. 

You clowns calling for Leavitt are like dudes who still pine away for that girl in high school who got away.   Just because you lost your virginity to her it does not mean that she is still the one.  You recently divorced from your current wife because she is a lazy slob who spent all your money and did nothing around the house.   She even let your kids run wild and somehow you got custody of them.   If you really look into that girl from high school you will find that her social media and dating profiles are still using pictures from her 20's with heavy filtering.   Get past that and you find that she has been unemployed for years and is running an OnlyFans page to make ends meet.

Sadly he will not quit even though he is failing because he wants to get paid. He got a contract and we will have to buy him  out. I just do not see one positive case for keeping him an extra year after today unless,  we win the next three games. I am in the boat we needed to move on from him after last year and find a coach that can actual improve the culture and the product on the field. I don't know if AD MK has the guts to fire this guy and name someone interim coach for the rest of the year. It seems he is lost and is taking blame for the program, but he still gets paid regardless of winning or losing. He seems to be a nice guy, but my lord everything I have seen from him shows is a terrible coach. People were making excuses and saying there was progress being made since he started but to be honest we are worse than when he started. The offense isn't good enough and the defense is the worst  USF  defense possibly FBS Defense I can remember watching.  At this point I think CJL knows he has failed and does not know how to fix the issues.  The next move is on AD and I hope he makes the right one by firing CJS and finding usf a decent coach. 

Is that a typo?

MK has publicly stated that he doesn't comment on coaches until their seasons are over.  If ever there was a time to break this pledge it's now.

I would say the season is over at this point

Wawa is awesome. It's the Publix of gas station convenience stores. Publix subs are much better though, and we do have a Publix on campus already.

Publix is hit or miss.  It depends on the location and time of day.   Sometimes there are good people working the deli section and sometimes there are complete buffoons.   When Publix had to put out ads begging for people to apply, I knew things were going to get inconsistent.   Now that I work from home instead of driving into the office I prefer to shop during the day.   The retirees that work the day shift actually care about serving the customer.   The kids on the later shifts, not so much.

This guy Russ Wood usually puts them on his YouTube channel, but I do not see one yet.   I do not know who he is, but I have been following him for a while.   Maybe he will add it on Sunday?

Looks like more players on the field than people in the seats

The stadium looked empty even at the beginning of the game.  We get a lot more people at RJS.   Even as much as we suck, even less people care about Temple.

I could not even bother to schlep up to the alumni watch party.   I used to enjoy watching the game with fellow alumni and meeting new USF fans, but I know people bring their kids to Duffy's and I did not want to curse and swear in front of them.  It was just easier to give Disney another $10 for ESPN+ and suffer the obvious loss at home.   I went from whooping and hollering in the first half to just hollering in the second half.

It is her fault.  If she never left the position as President of USF, then maybe USF would have never hired Judy.

Good luck being a bottom feeder in the Big 12.

He can't use a medical redshirt since he played in seven games... plus this was his FIFTH season, so he only has one more season of eligibility left because of the covid rule (anyone that was on a team in 2020 gets one more year automatically).

Thanks for the update.   I have not followed all of these new rules, so I had no idea.

The tickets will be cheaper in the future though...

Even inferior products that are not football always increase in price.   Even stupid things like food at the grocery store either increase in price or keep the same price and reduce the size of the product.   I saw something at Publix that was touting a "new package design" and when I compared it to an older version of that food item, it was 0.5 ounces smaller.   FFS.

TAMPA, OCT. 18, 2022– A USF football program that has been hit hard by injuries during the 2022 season took another blow Tuesday when Head Coach Jeff Scott announced junior quarterback Gerry Bohanon Jr. (Earle, Ark.) will miss the remainder of the season due to a shoulder injury that will require surgery to repair.
 
Bohanon, who was playing his best football at USF in his last three games, suffered the injury to his right throwing shoulder during an 8-yard run in the first half of Saturday's contest with Tulane. Bohanon left the game with just over 6:30 to play in the half and the Bulls leading 14-10. To that point in the game, he was 7-of-8 for 109 yards and a touchdown passing and had ran for 59 yards and a 33-yard touchdown.
 
Over his last two-and-a-half games, Bohanon passed for 501 yards, six touchdowns and no interceptions and ran for 250 yards and two touchdowns, including a career-best 117 yards rushing at No. 24 Cincinnati as he led scoring drives of 75, 65, 75 and 88 yards in the close, 28-24, loss to the Bearcats. Bohanon, who led Baylor to a Big 12 title and Sugar Bowl victory in 2021, finishes his first USF season with 1,070 yards passing, six touchdowns and six interceptions while completing 57 percent of his passes. He is also the Bulls second leading rusher having posted 386 yards and three touchdowns on the ground.

Junior quarterback suffered injury in first half in last Saturday's clash with Tulane.

 

So since he is a junior can he use a medical redshirt?   Would he want to do that and stay at USF?   The transfer portal swings both ways; it can help and hurt a team.

"Negative energy" ...

Like Judy Genshaft. She's the one who put you all in this predicment in the first place. But the 'War on I-4" will continue for sure. But it'll be a 2 for 1 deal.

Oh, and as far as your dreams of going to the ACC? Once the SEC takes Clemson, FSU, Miami, and NC Tarheels, that conference will sink to the G5, so enjoy purgatory.

You seriously think that UCF will make a splash in the Big 12?  You will be a bottom feeder in that conference.

The worst of Charle Strong was 100 times better than the best of Jeff Scott.

I am embarrassed that I used to defend Jeff Scott.   I will not waste my time constantly bashing him, but I will not defend him anymore going forward.

In some instances ....... this isn't one of them.

Too soon?   This happened when I was in high school and it was a teacher work day, so we had a half day.   Two girls I was friends with were getting stoned and saw it live on TV.   They said they both said "Wow!  Can they do that again?"   

Gen X living up to its cynical reputation.  

We use the KISS method (keep it simple stupid)

Sandwiches, chips and beer.

Until USF starts winning, I am putting in the same amount of effort into my tailgating.

"Give the Jim Leavitt thing a rest"

::Proceeds to write a (factually inaccurate) paragraph about Jim Leavitts firing::

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Leavitt#Head_coaching_record

I have the "redacted" copy of the report, which was not properly redacted, so one could actually read the whole report.
What is the point of digging that up again?   I really do not feel like doing that to debate with Leavitt fanbois.   He is gone, has been gone for over 10 years, and has not gotten a head coaching job since then.

BTW, 25-26 conference record is below .500, and he was trending downwards when USF fired him.

Give the Jim Leavitt thing a rest.   He would have either left USF by now or USF would have fired him by now.   An under .500 record in conference play is not exactly something to brag about.  Also, the kid he slapped did not report him, one of his teammates did that.   Leavitt also tried to tamper with witnesses, so the fact that he was not sitting in Orient Road Jail is a miracle.
BTW that kid you are calling an "unhappy loser" lead USF rushing in the win against Miami, a team that Leavitt could never come close to beating.

I am not one for Twitter hot takes, but some of those are pretty funny.

South Tampa here.  No major damage or flooding.  Power out at about 25% of the homes.  Just a normal Thursday morning here now.  Weird that the bay at Bayshore Blvd once again had negative storm surge.

If you think of the direction of the rotating wind and how the storm hit south of Tampa, this was expected.   Now if the storm hit Tampa or just north of Tampa, then instead of sucking out the water, it would have pushed the water in and surged into South Tampa and flooded everything.
