Please don't be alarm, Mike is just out of shape right now!! I happened to play basketball with a couple of football players at the rec some weeks back....Ford was there. Right before we started the game, he said he wanted to guard the fastest player on the court to get back in shape. If what I saw on the court translates onto the football field, he'll be quite fine. His 40 time may be paltry, but boy, can he jump out of the gym. I'm sure he will be back in form soon.

Yea he turned WMU around, just like Seton Hall was turned around by Amaker and so on.... what he did at WMU was great, but it means nothing for USF at this time. This is about our program. We need to have standards and some of you just need to stop apologizing for this guy. He was brought in for a purpose and has not met the expectations.

Some of you can't see the forest for the trees. You're missing the argument. I used Leavitt in reference to standards. There are many ways to cut a cattle; some of you are cutting it the wrong way. I mention Leavitt because he is the moniker of success at USF. Inherited program or not, RMC must go. His conference records are 1-15, 5-11, 1-15, and 3-13. How does that show any sign of promise? And don't play the "what if†card because it doesn't work. What if such and such wasn't kicked off or injured...blah blah...it's not valid. I mean what if Matt Grothe wasn't injured against ECU? We could've had another 30 points. However, he was injured. It is what it is. My point about RMC previous record @ WMU is valid. What did he do at WMU that was spectacular enough to coach here? Typically, losing programs bring in coaches that have been associated with a winning program to right their ship: Amaker=U of M, Calipairi =Memphis, B. Davis=UNC(football)....despite the fact that it doesn't always spell success. Anyone who can sit her and substantiate that a coach should be given another shot after seasons of 1-15, 5-11, 1-15, and 3-13, does not care about USF basketball. This is ridiculous. Are we going to keep him around so we can go 4-12 in conference play in 08? Come on, let's have some standards. Let’s take pride in all of our programs. The tradition of losing needs to go.

for consecutive seasons he would be fired faster than a Pat Julmiste benching in the first game of 06. When we had ONE losing season in football, people were calling for Leavitt's head. Didn't a firejimleavitt.com site pop up that year? RMC had four seasons to show promise. By keeping RMC around, we are saying to the city, state, and nation that we condone losing in our athletics program. I expect better than this from USF. RMC was a loser(45-57 I beleive) when he arrived and he will be a loser when he leaves.

RMC is not a winner, point f'n blank. His record was 45-55(I beleive) when he was coaching Western Mich in the Mac. He has outdone himself with an even worse record here at USF. Give me a break. Fire the guy.

Tommy Amaker or Bobby Lutz, but I don't think we have deep enough pockets for either one.

o yea, that game will be on Catch 47 for all of you brighthouse users.

4/14 7pm and I'm counting down the days

I'll take $30 on USF.

The odds is 50-1 to one for the field because a field of any one team of 60+ teams winning the nc is more likely to happen...per say than USF winning it alone. USF is still not getting any respect in Vegas. That's cool. That means big paydays for those who wager on USF.

O you can't wait? That's great to know. I'll make sure to keep you in suspense.

Ok, I stand corrected. TBYP? I never said that CJL would BECOME the Bucs coach. I just mentioned the possibility of him being considered......now everyone's having a cow. So you mean to tell me that if Gruden was fired, the Glazers would not at least consider the idea of CJL for coach? If you say no, you're BULL$hitting yourself.

CJL is not a pro coach....Petrino wasn't a pro coach, but he has pro job. It was just a thought I had about CJL and how much attention he's been getting lately. Lately, NFL teams have been pretty liberal as far as what they require from a head coach. The subject is not too far out reach when you begin to think about the new coaches in OAKLAND, Pit etc. It was just a thought.

I think it's possible that if the Bucs have another losing season, the Glazers may look at making CJL the head coach. The idea may seem somewhat out of reach, but petrino left Louisville in a heartbeat to coach the falcons. CJL is a defensive minded coach. The Bucs are a defensive minded team. CJL said he had his dream job coaching USF because amongst other things, he was coaching in his hometown in the best facilities in the country (whether pro or college, rjs is a great stadium). Now what's better than coaching the local D-1 team?.....Coaching the local pro football team. CJL would make entirely more money without having to pick a hat up to leave. Although, I’m happy that we have Canales and Mac, these are two former head coaches on our staff that could step right in and take over the head coaching job @ USF. The more I think about this, the more I see it playing out. I hate the Bucs, will and always be a Lions fan till the I die (that's suffering enough), but this year I may have a second favorite team. Go Bucs!! You can say, why would the Glazers want to hire CJL? I say, why wouldn't they? Just for the possibility that CJL could be a candidate, I hope the Bucs win some games this year.

to get even cornier...how about the 3 Musketeers. Seems like he played running back in high school. Considering the articles I've read, there is some speculation that he may not receive a waiver. The whole argument against him revolves around the fact that he has transferred once and if he really wanted to be with his mom, he would of transferred from MSU to USF in the first place. But of course we have to consider the source....ISU coach Chiznik sounded a tad bitter about the guy leaving. I hope he gets this waiver.

Awww man, that's great. I can see him in green and gold.

Do we have any pictures are better yet videos of McKenzie in action?

Of course we are top 25 team. I hate to go with the woulda shoulda coulda spin, but where was the running game when we lost to Rutgers by 2 and Kansas by 1? It was non-exsistent....I still don't understand how we lost to Cincy, but let's assume with a running game we would of won those the KU and RU game. We would be 11-2! USF would've been ranked in the top 20 at season's end. We are definitely top 25 material.

I really like G7 at safety. He does exactly what a safety is suppose to do...HIT. He put a nice lick on ECU's qb. I definitely cant wait to see what he's going to do next year flanked by two of the best corners in the country. I want to see C4 everywhere on the field. The guy has too much athletic ability to redshirt. We can use him like we did Brian Fisher (****, I wish that guy could of played another year. He made things happen). Let C4 loose on trick plays, decoys, and defense. With the speed he has, he could turn out to be great in nickel and dime coverage.

And what do we have at the WR spot? Despite the fact we run a spread O, we are loaded there too. Johnson, Jackson, A. Hill, Ce. Hill, Edwards, and we have those redshirt freshman ready to play. There could be room for C4, but between Johnson, Jackson, Ford/Planchar and Grothe....how often will we get him the ball? Other than the fumbles against ncsu, he showed great atleticism. We should make him our DH. Line this guy up on both sides of the ball and let him make plays. He we would definitely fit into our playbook for trick plays and decoys as a wr.

Based on what I read C4 may be making a push for safety. Do you guys think he can make a push for a starting spot? IMO, we should keep him at WR. With his athleticism, he could easily be another playmaker catching the ball...........our wr corp is deep.
