Do you happen to have a link of statements? I'd love to be able to read those again. Or have they been deleted?

I don't believe there was a divided locker room at all. It was 1 or 2 people who wouldn't let it go and the rest just wanted to win games. Now could Jim of done some things different to save his job? Probably, but it was blown up and blown up again when in fact the situation was almost completely resolved. 

All I know is that I was in the booth(because of my knee) at the time of the incident and have heard 9 million different scenarios of what "really" happened in the locker room, I just know which few to actually believe and which to not.

He had some support...there were some that were disgruntled with Leavitt playing the younger guys, I have the IMs.

No player spoke then that Erskin was the ringleader, why now?

McMurphy published all the confidential names, anyone can know who said what to the hatchetman.  Why don't you share with us your feelings on the claims?  Again, I know you were not in the area when the issue allegedly happened, but were players told to stay quiet (except Joel)?

What's your take, now nearly 7 years later?

To my knowledge, no one told players to be "quiet" except for maybe other players that know it was all bs in the first place.  You're speaking of college football players who were supposed to be under oath during the investigation but going off of some statements, they wanted what was best for them and didn't decide to give full truths or thought that no way in hell Jim would get fired so just spoke misguided information. At the end of the day, he was let go but it's a **** shame to see certain people lie for no benefit and there's a reason me and many others will never speak to them again.

We know...but he had lieutenants, too.

Meh, at the end of the day. He was in BM's ear over and over and over again. Not Joel, not any "lieutenants"

Think Fennelly will dial him up?

Doubt he would answer or if the kid is even around anymore.

Perhaps technically, but injured, not traveling, pairing up with McMurphy and Miller, undermining his coach, his team, the fans and the entire program.  You were there.  For all practical purposes he needed to be off the team, along with some others.

erskin was the ring leader

Just now, Brad said:

You would know, wouldn't you?

Not exactly sure what you mean by this Brad, or why you seem to come at me in other posts. But yes, I was kind of on the team at the team, I think I would know a little bit. 

It would take way to long to type everything out, hatred and lies and more hatred cost Jim his Job, Joel's story changed because of someone who wanted Jim fired and thought they were owed something, not because of  Joel. I guess multiple knee injuries was karma....

Erskin was off the team.  He wasn't a player.  But bad move by Leavitt as it would surely contribute to the narrative.

 

Erskin was definitely on the team, kind of comical reading a lot of these opinions that are so far off from anything relevant to the situation. 

Can't wait for Saturday, they talk more than they can backup every year. 

Q has balled out all year, just like our offense has. We fix that mess on the otherside of the ball and we will be a top 10 team. 

40k if I had to guess.

Yup, kinda surprised. Heard that bench has had a real good preseason, I'm assuming Flowers kept it close enough that they wanted to get the younger guy in there, so he could develope.

It was also you who said myself and others were over rated and not very good, so to your standards we were never good in the first place, or better yet, what demise, we're no different than we were before....right?

However I was mislabeled a "troll", "too negative", or "not a real USF fan".

Based upon the current state of the Department it is painfully clear that I was right and you were so very embarrasingly wrong.

Thusly, I demand an apology from anyone on this board who dared insult me or my character during this education that I so graciouslyprovided.

You know who you are.

I could literally write a page of roast material based upon this.

Not looking to get personal despite your attempts to do so.

Sincerely hope life after football is treating you well.
