No I believe it started way before that. McMurphy used to have a weekly segment on the radio with DUImig. DUImig would go out of his way to say he will never talk USF on his show as long as Leavitt keeps acting like a jerk towards him and his media peeps.

Yes, see below

This started nothing... McMurphy had it out for Leavitt long before that. That year started off with a bang when an 18-year old kid used the N word at practice  and McMurphy wrote a piece about it, insinuating that Leavitt was complicit in the language of his freshman recruits who had been on campus for all of 2-3 months (max). Previously, McMurphy also had run-ins with Leavitt. It was an ongoing mission for BMM to cause trouble for CJL... honestly, I don't know if CJL really engaged that much other than to razz McMurphy occasionally. He did ban the media after the incident above. Funny though, CCS's practices were closed to the media, that's not unusual, but, Leavitt took some shots over banning them. I guess it was different then... the media actually wanted to cover USF football... now, I bet the media guys are hoping the new coach keeps practices closed so they don't have to worry about extra work for a terrible team.

I vaguely remember the N word situation. That was over the line on McMurphy’s part.

And yet he still doesn’t talk about USF...

Gus Malzahn maybe? but he was an OC for years before becoming a HC. I'm sure there are others. ND hired a high school coach way back when. He absolutely bombed.

Wasn’t the hs coach from Cincinnati Moeller?

Lasted 4 years I believe. The best they did was like 6-5.

Wherever his spirit may be right now I’m sure he is upset. USF getting that deal with the Sports Animal recently was a great step forward and in sure DUImig is rolling over in his grave

Of course, they'll read dimwitted stories and tweets and take them for real.

brings up a point. I roamed around today reading diff sports media articles on coaching prospects for usf.  It was either fox sports(?) or yahoo(?) doing a comparison. They listed the con (no chance) for Leavitt due to his having "punched" a player 10 years ago..??  And that is how the bs is  perpetuated by some media writer for all to see. That stuff gets me pissed.

I really don't read anything from the TDS cause they're a joke.
