The fact of the matter at this stage of the game USF is in desperate need of a lot of things. Not the least of which is relevancy. This program has become completely irrelevant nationally and only slightly less relevant statewide and locally.
There is not a single possible hire, short of something ridiculous like Urban Meyer or someone like that, that would INSTANTLY make USF Football significantly more relevant and interesting. I think even the people at ESPN would pump it up. People that downplay the excitement of the way it was “back in the day” were either not a part of it, or just have some personal beef with Leavitt.
