Yay... wake me up when this is over.

BS Electrical Engineering C/O 2005

Guys, let him stay in SC. We can't blame him for wanting to stay there. Look at CJL... how do you think Alabama (twice) and K-State fans felt when he turned them down? CJL feels comfortable here... in his home state. Let’s move on... we'll get someone.

Brad, are you really?

Switched my vote to Gillen. I won't like this hire. He'll be 60 before the first game. I want a young coach (insert CJL) to take over this program and make it his "baby." Very depressing BTW.

link?

What grade are you in?

Good job USF!

Brett is busting his tail on this story and he is doing a great job. I, for one, appreciate his hard work to get us the information. I agree.

Yes... it's the "future" stadium. It's in the baseball program that can be found at gousfbulls.com.

Thank you! http://www.tbo.com/sports/bulls/MGBI4VKJNZE.html

Brad's Blog... I like it.

As of right now the game is scheduled for Lockhart Stadium in Fort Lauderdale. Thanks. This is an opportunity to go back home.

There are articles on ESPN that say otherwise... Reports have it that Marshall is coming this weekend. RT... an assistant at UMass? Do you mean the HC?

Add Jenkins to the list... Greg updated the blog.

250k plus a few extra = 310k

I like it.

Will the game be played in Lockhart or Dolphin Stadium?

Georgetown - Men Duke - Women

It's South Florida football, not Duke football.  ;D  Sorry, I couldn't resist --forgive me!  ;D Go right ahead.  As long as people don't make jokes about USF, then I'm OK with it.  But let's check things out a bit. Leavitt was making about 400k (if not a bit more) a little over a year ago and Mac was hired at about 250k. See a trend? Still, where did we get all this money?

Am I reading this right? Isn't CJL making $1M

Geez Greg, that article from SC contradicts a lot of things. This will be interesting.

Marshall Mulling USF's Offer Skip directly to the full story. By BRETT McMURPHY The Tampa Tribune Published: Mar 21, 2007 TAMPA - Winthrop's Gregg Marshall, who led the Eagles to seven NCAA Tournaments in nine seasons, has emerged as the leading candidate to become coach at the University of South Florida. Marshall met with USF athletic director Doug Woolard Tuesday night in Rock Hill, S.C. As of late Wednesday night, Marshall was deciding whether to come to Tampa or accept a $400,000 a year offer to stay at Winthrop, which would be nearly half of what USF would offer. On Tuesday night, Woolard flew to Charlotte, N.C., and made the 20-minute drive to Marshall's home in Rock Hill. Marshall is the third candidate Woolard has interviewed. Woolard also interviewed South Alabama coach John Pelphrey in Atlanta Saturday and spoke with former Virginia coach Pete Gillen last week, but neither one received a job offer. Winthrop assistant athletic director Jack Frost said former Kentucky athletic director C.M. Newton, who is assisting Woolard as a consultant on USF's search, asked and received permission Tuesday for Woolard to speak with Marshall. Winthrop president Anthony Joseph DiGiorgio and Athletic Director Tom Hickman met with Marshall on Wednesday to discuss increasing his salary, Frost said. They have been working on increasing Marshall's salary since before the NCAA Tournament, Frost said. Marshall has eight years remaining on his current contract worth $270,000 a year, but was offered $400,000 a year by Winthrop officials. New Mexico also asked for permission to speak with Marshall, Frost said. However, ESPN reported Wednesday night that New Mexico is reportedly working on a deal to hire Iowa's Steve Alford. That means Marshall must chose between USF and Winthrop. Woolard had said previously he would make a significant investment and commitment for a new coach, meaning the Bulls likely would offer at least double the $310,000 salary that former coach Robert McCullum received. This year was Marshall's most impressive season as Winthrop upset Notre Dame 74-64 in the first round of the NCAA Tournament before losing to Oregon 75-61 in the second round. All of Winthrop's losses this season were to NCAA Tournament teams -- North Carolina (73-66), Maryland (71-60), Wisconsin (82-79 in overtime) and Texas A&M (71-51). The Eagles (29-5) also set a school record for victories, earned the school's first Associated Press Top 25 ranking (No. 24) and had the first unbeaten season (14-0) in Big South history. Marshall has been named Big South coach of the year four times. He is 1-7 all-time in the NCAA Tournament, but as a No. 15 seed nearly upset No. 2 seed Tennessee last year, losing 63-61 on a last-second 3-pointer. Last June, Marshall accepted the College of Charleston job and was introduced as Charleston's coach at a news conference on June 28, only to change his mind the next day and return as Winthrop's coach. UMass coach Travis Ford, who was scheduled to meet with Woolard Monday but canceled, is no longer interested in the position and expected to receive a new deal at UMass. http://www.tbo.com/sports/bulls/MGBHVZTPKZE.html USF hit the lottery
