This sounds bad...

I guess I don't know much about this guy, and I do know that Brett McMurphy is overcritical at times...but this does not sound good at all, especially as we need these facility upgrades.

ODDS AND ENDS: USF vice president Michael Rierson's departure to the University of Houston is a huge blow to athletics. Rierson was instrumental in USF's negotiations with the Big East and also was the key player in keeping Leavitt from leaving for Alabama. Unfortunately far too many times Rierson was the lone voice from the administration office working for athletics

Off topic...sorry.

Not a big deal, this happens all over the country.  When you have an arena that entertains other outside interests, its bound to happen.  I'm sure Madison Square Gardens has the same problem from time to time.

He has to be over stating it, Alabama never offered Leavitt a job.  

[JoeB]

They interviewed Leavitt for the job, although I don't think they offered it to him.  Good thing, because he's a good coach.  I believe he interviewed for a few others too, including Indiana, and maybe Missouri.  He knows whats going on, and will only get better with time.  As opposed to O'Liar who will leave when he finally gets a couple of wins.

I agree.  The first BCS school to come calling he will be bye bye.

[E.T.]

Leavitt decided on his own . . . and guys leaving is standard practice ... Not Worried.

Go BULLS !!!

I dont think he had much to with levitt not going... levitt never really had that option...

[ucfknights04]

So is O'Leary a bad coach, and UCF will never win a game

-or-

Is he going to run to a BCS school?

Silly bulls.

Actually, Alabama did offer and there was a contract in hand if he chose to sign it.
