    Disclaimer: CJL apologist, here.

    Aside from a 10 win season, what more did CWT do that CJL not? CWT, in most other regards, accomplished less. He still didn't win a conference championship. Didn't win a bowl game. He finished the regular season ranked, but that's in jeopardy if we lose the bowl game. If we do win the bowl game and finish the season ranked, does he get credit for that since he bailed before the end of the season?

    Im thankful he rebuilt USF football, but he needed another season or two before I'm ready to supplant CJL as the GOAT. He lacked a signature win and didn't deliver on his promise to win multiple championships (or even one).

    He was hardheaded -- he's given credit for being flexible, but it took 2 seasons for him to figure out we're not a power run team. How much begging from the team (and probably pressure from his boss) before he saw the light there? His defense cost us the opportunity to play for a conference title. When asked about it, he didn't seem to indicate publicly that any changes would be made. We'll never know if he was going to do anything about it, but on the surface, it sure looked like more hardheadedneds and cronyism.

    I don't want to diminish what CWT did, I respect the guy, I want him to stay. However, I'm not ready to call him #1 based on a season and a half of 'success' in the AAC.

    I agree with you. I liked Taggart and wanted him to stay but Leavitt won 9 games 3 times against harder competition which isn't too shabby. Leavitt also took us to a bowl 5 years in a row and won 3 of them. Taggart lost his only and bailed before the other. Also in 2007 we ended the regular season ranked under Leavitt just like this year under Taggart before we got screwed by Oregon just like this year. So I still think Leavitt > Taggart.
