    Good luck to the outgoing staff, especially SK. Good dudes, and I do hope Bell gets another good shot somewhere. But like others have said, the old guard hasn’t been getting it done. Scott deserves the right to pick his staff. Fingers crossed!

    This is true, but vocal support from a major program can go a long way. Louisville basically got USF into the Big East (back when that still meant something).

    Hey, I know a great defensive coach that has a history in Tampa and built a program from nothing... *ducks*

    Torello reporting that Scott may retain Kerwin Bell as OC/QB coach.

    There's nothing to support the theory that MK picked his guy and was only then rebuffed by the BOT. For all we know he gave him a courtesy interview but knew he couldn't get the deal done. Kelly is a pretty savvy guy, and has USF experience. I agree with others that have already said that it is very unlikely he took a deal to the board that would be rejected. That's just not how these things work. People vet the temperature before they make that type of formal pitch. In any event, I think all the speculation was fun, and hopefully renewed some fans' interest. I was starting to talk myself into a Leavitt reunion, but anyone who continues to harp on this if Scott is hired is doing the program a huge disservice and I hope they rethink it.

    The reporting last night suggested that Scott would bring several Clemson coaches with him (giving them a promotion obviously), as well as his dad (a USF alum).

    The same resume? I don’t think so man...
  9. WWMJD
    It’s easy now, but Clemson wasn’t that great till the current regime stepped in and turned things around. He’s had a big part in that. And it fits with Kelly saying he wants someone who can help build culture.
  10. WWMJD
    On paper his resume is great. And he’s considered one of the best recruiters in the country.
  11. WWMJD
    He’s insufferable I agree. Always makes it frustrating to see guys like that break stories—just like good old BMM.
  12. WWMJD
    Don’t know what to tell you man. Just trying to post whatever becomes public. Most of us are eager for any news.

    Per Torello and Collin:
  14. WWMJD
    Interesting point of view, but developing and retaining solid coaching talent was never Leavitt’s strength. I agree with others that his success would entirely depend on his staff, especially OC. I know you, like many of us, lived through lots of uninspiring offenses under CJL.

    Puc and Brad will still be pushing for him to be HC. We might have to set up a weekend at bernie’s situation.
  16. WWMJD
    Give him two months and he will start suggesting himself for other jobs

    Somebody is cutting loose on Friday night. Gotta love anyone who says they are the only one who really knows what’s going on, and you too can find out for only $9.95 per month!
  18. WWMJD
    I agree (to an extent, of course). To be clear, I'm not saying they should not hire him as HC based on what I said, only that I think they will not hire him as HC based on what I said. You have to admit it would be a bold, risky move that could subject everyone involved to intense scrutiny. That's not USF's M.O. So... you want to take the bet?
  19. WWMJD
    I don't necessarily disagree with you, but I think you'd be hard pressed to find an administration in this era that doesn't at least pretend to care about this.
  20. WWMJD
    I understand the point re: G5 to G5 jumps but I think Kiffin is just too craven to turn down the job if it is offered. Seems like we all agree its probably a long shot anyway though.
  21. WWMJD
    Anyone want to put money on Leavitt as HC? 2007 me would love it to happen but I would be shocked if it does. From a PR/social consciousness standpoint, it's so difficult to bring him back without getting skewered. The environment has gotten way more hostile toward his alleged actions than it was when he was fired. See the NHL starting to can coaches for stuff that happened years back as an example.
  22. WWMJD
    Do you have any thoughts on this: I'm hearing Lane Kiffin is interested in the job. He's injected himself into all the searches, so why not USF? You also have Shaun King in the building & a darkhorse Houston OC Marquell Blackwell could come home. — Josh Newberg (@joshnewberg247) December 3, 2019 Josh is definitely one of the more reliable sources for USF info, though it's less frequent these days.
  23. WWMJD
    I'm still not sure why you think the USF and FAU jobs are on the same level, but we'll just have to agree to disagree on that. Either way this is probably moot.
  24. WWMJD
    Ipso facto, Kiffin would jump at the USF job if its the best offer he has.
  25. WWMJD
    I look at it this way: those teams are in a similar position to USF in that they can't pull the five star candidates they'd like for the reasons you mention (and others). So they end up taking people with question marks (Petrino, Tuberville, Nutt, Freeze, Kiffin) and hope they work out. In the same way the Clemson assistants look to have turned down USF, many smart coaches (the ones without Kiffin's baggage) would rather hold out for a better situation if their resume warrants it.
