Plantation Pete

well if we wanna play this game... Bill Belichick. Nobody else is being realistic so why should we?

Nick Saban or Les Miles

I'd be happy with any of those. Although I highly highly highly highly doubt that Tuberville would leave Tech for us. Wasn't Tuberville's name mentioned as a candidate here when Skip was hired? If Tubberville goes anywhere it will be to Arkansas. I hope that happens so maybe Kirby Hocutt will hire Leavitt.

You kitten slayer!!!! Trip's a real, bon-a-fide internet tough guy. He eats kittens for breakfast.

since Woolard doesn't use email... http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/blog/eye-on-college-football/21204371/accidental-email-lets-morgan-state-coach-know-school-is-looking-for-replacement

1) Pittsburgh 2) 48-17 3) Demetrius Murray 4) Victor Marc 5) 312

Martin Fennelly wanted Leavitt fired now he wants Holtz fired. I think Fennelly should be fired.

It's Bulls that are dying, not kittens.

Why the hostility, Trip? Why are you afraid of a realistic discussion about hiring college football coaches? Your thread that I moved here, that prompted this, was the perfect example of how you're NOT really here for realistic discussion. Realistic discussion? There is a thread dedicated to people talking about "If I won the powerball!" ... Was it started by a Bulls fan? Former Bulls Fan

Why the hostility, Trip? Why are you afraid of a realistic discussion about hiring college football coaches? I offered a good article for insight and discussion and you want to kill the messenger. This proves my theory about giving low level functionaries a little power and they will wield it just to show you they can.

Do you actually believe any of them would even consider a down and out program in a walking dead conference? It's already an injustice that a good football program like Texas A&M will be left out of the BCS Bowls because the Big Least gets a slot in the Orange Bowl. bowl games are exhibitions. they don't mean anything. orange bowl is awful with acc in it. your buddy, as a coordinator, took a job at a program that didn't even exist for a truck drivers' salary. something tells me we could fill the job at $1.5M+ per year. Good luck finding a Young Turk that is a Tampa/St Pete native and wants to come home. They say lightning doesn't strike twice. I believe Skip Holtz is as good as USF can do at this point. If he is fired his replacement may make the very same mistakes and put the Bulls even deeper into the abyss. It's probably best to hang on to Skip and see if he can turn it around in a very watered down conference.

This article might be a good start... http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/story/21159090/coaching-watch-three-coordinators-kirby-morris-pease-face-big-decision

Yeah...Fire the son of a famous coach so you can hire the brother of a famous coach. Please tell us what Mark Stoops has accomplished? What his resume look like?

Uh...I didn't give no one no steenking contract extention and I haven't had a single losing season as the football coach, so don't blame me for the Bulls' bad, bad situation.

I thought Judy didn't use email?

I would disagree... The limit of 85 scholarships did much to level the playing field. It's the reason schools like Boise State can run with the big dogs. Not allowing the "wealthy" schools to stockpile talent rather than let them go to other schools and start made a big difference. In 1976 when Johnny Majors won the NC at Pitt with Tony Dorsett, they signed 125 recruits to scholarships the next year.

Oh, young hatter...You can cover your ears and hide your eyes but some day you will have to face the reality that people you assumed were smart sometimes make some really, really dumb decisions. hatter indicts his own character being a childhood playfriend of joel miller he may have even stole purses with the miller clan just for fun at publix by the way did that dirtbag ever go to trial It's telling who hatter aligns himself with and chooses to believe in.

Well, the one truth which cannot be denied is that USF has gone from being a competitive program to a sucky one. All programs do that. For example, I live in Atlanta. They wanted Mark Richt gone for a couple years now. He had NFL talent and no NC shots. Two years ago UGA lost to UCF! Would you call a team that loses to UCF competitive? This year they win one more game and are in the NC. That's just one program and there are others like it. Florida didn't look so good when Urban left, Tennessee was a great team and then fell off the face of the earth, etc.. So the current state of the football program has nothing to do with what happened with Leavitt. ^^^Baghdad Bob reveals himself! Whatever UCF Pete. Which college are you a graduate of? One that teaches you don't end sentences with prepositions. O-kay...Which college are you a graduate of, *******?

Yeah...Smearing a man's reputation in the national media who was devoted to USF is always a blessing. Attaching a stigma to him and making him a leper to other universities is what all high profile head coaches apire to. [/sarcasm] Judy Genshaft and Doug Woolard are simply amoral people who have disgraced the University of South Florida. Too bad the vast majority of USF Alums and fans are either too ignorant or just sat mute and did nothing.

The investigation and its conclusions where a result of a third party source who has a fairly established reputation. You have to believe a lot of people who would have no real "skin in the game" just had it out for Jim Leavitt to believe that entire story. What to do with the information is certainly open for debate, but there is little doubt as to what Jim Leavitt did (both in the locker room and in the aftermath during the investigation). Third party source? Dude, Gonzales is a lawyer, not an investigator. His firm specializes in representing management in labor disputes. GONZALES WAS A HIRED GUN! THE HIT MAN!

MAN THE LIFEBOATS! EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF! Some day (when it's too late) USF Nation will realize the people at the helm are completely incompetent.
