Obviously that coach had hit his peak. Only 16 NFL players and making an unknown university compete at the level of blue bloods within 10 years of starting a program shows we were stuck and never going anywhere. Needed to be fired. Additionally, we should never welcome him back. 

Bitter sarcasm aside, I'm cheering for FAU to beat us this year (The game being cancelled would be a blessing so i dont have to root against USF).  

WTF? Why are you taking that position? Because L is the D coordinator? No past coach is bigger than a university’s program...and certainly not one's alma mater.

Pretty sure I said this during the hiring process.  I can confirm that at the time of the HC opening he had hoped for a call or a reach out of some type from USF to help close the gap, change the narr

Those were the best and brightest days. When we could hang with the big boys and take them out. CJL did a great job of building something from nothing and turning it into a legitimate program. He took

At least he is hoping the game gets cancelled?

That is true ... I'm a big Taggart fan and because he raised the program from the dead like Lazarus maybe I should be pulling for them, too

Sure but I'm just a Tampa sports fan. No ties to USF. I wear my USF shirts and have a USF license plate cover and go to more than half of the home games and many away games. 

Leavitt and to a lesser extent Taggart are the two coaches who made USF for me. I just dont think it's acceptable to never welcome the Jim back and act like he wasn't part of the program's history. 

Life goes on, and I'm hoping CJS kicks ass

Coaches come and go...even those who started programs, won a few big games, and never won championships. I’ll never ever understand the infatuation some have for Jim. Never ever will I put one individual above the program and the university, to do so is a betrayal and boarders on strange infatuation. At the same time, I am sure the current players and coaches would think it’s comical that a few (one?) fans are chearing  against USF because of a coach who was fired over a decade ago coaches the other team.

I'm not sure that MK is of that mindset but has it ever been reliably confirmed that he even wants to come back?

So if Jim was hired by ucf are you telling me you would be cheering for ucf success? Hoping ucf beats us in football every year he is the coach?

I think loyalty is important. If somebody has done great things for you, it's your responsibility to be great for them back. He put USF on the map, and USF did everything they could to have a nasty break up over one mistake. I dont care if the administration didnt like him. The fans liked him and I like winning. That's why we are here right? "We play to win the game".
