1. With some tough losses - what will make this a productive season for you?
Nothing. It's a wasted season as far as I'm concerned. And it probably will hurt this year's recruiting class.
2. Do you feel Jim Leavitt has been a successful coach for USF?
Absolutely.
That being said, he need not stand pat and be satisfied. He MUST make some tough decisions regarding the coaching staff if he hopes to a) keep his job and further grow the program
3. Do you feel USF football has been successful to this point in time?
Absolutely.
I'm very disappointed in this season's football team. I think we sat back during the Marquel Blackwell era and forgot to recruit a suitable replacement. I also think that, looking back, we overachieved in the MB era and that may have gave us a false sense of how good we were and we had unrealistic expectations for the next few years.......which is, um, now.
4. What do you feel will make this program successful in the next five years? (Bowl game appearance? Conference champion? National Champion?)
Perennial contention for the Big East title. Which, will make all those other things fall into place.
5. Do you feel football or basketball will ultimately have more success once we join the Big East?
Um, yeah.
That's a pretty stupid question, actually. So I'm not gonna answer it.
