Really because the other 49 don’t teach intelligent design! So who has the problem?

Noah?

Just citing the records of CJL's teams is completely ignoring the context of how he built this program. I don't know how anybody expected Big East championships after just a few seasons of playing football. CJL is the best coach USF has ever had, followed by CWT. And yes, we should jump at the opportunity to rehire him if we were serious about winning, but I understand that won't happen.

Leavitt won't ever return here unless we invite him to open our brand new OCS by honoring his contributions to the program. He won't ever coach here again

A lot of games that an ordinary coach wouldn't have

No championships...at the end many people were pissed he was here. Most romanticize his time here.

Considering our jumps in competition every few years and how young the program is, that is a very unrealistic expectation. If you told me Team A formed in 1997 and ascended all the way to one of the top leagues in the country and had the track record we did, I'd be shocked and wow'd. People who criticize him don't realize how hard that is to build a brand, and bring in recruits who don't even recognize you as a big name school yet. He put us on the map and did that. Asking for a Big East championship after what he was doing is being a spoiled baby. We can't afford a coach who accomplished what he did one or two speed bump years? it has to be every year that he improves?

Don't forget the year that Matt Grothe tore his ACL was our best shot. Maybe we are having a whole different discussion if that doesn't happen.

The Great Flood is a nearly universally accepted event, so other than the problem of the ark that he built, I don't think it was Noah's problem.  I think you'd have to go further back than that.

He was a good creator not sure he is the guy to take teams to the next level.
