At least as an assistant athletic director with duties tied directly to football

Sure Leavitt with his consistent record of never finishing above .500 in conference games.   That will win us a seat at the big boy table.    Notice that no other school has ever offered Leavitt a hea

Why would you follow an angry Irish guy that changed his name from Colin to Nathan?

If you want a proven ex-coach who had a winning record in conference games and holds the USF record for most regular season wins, then Taggart is your man.  Sure he started slow, but he quickly abandoned the pro set offense and went with a high speed spread offense.  That is what made USF successful under Taggart.

It also took him more than 9 games to figure it out. Maybe a little patience from some people on here. I'm not happy and want to see progress but jeez.

Yes it is borderline ridiculous right now.

You know this was baked into the cake a long time ago. 

I think my biggest take from the last 10 or so years of watching USF football is it was pretty amazing what Jim Leavitt pulled off. Sure USF was fortunate in some of it's relationships to get called up to CUSA and then the Big East but Jim really did a lot with not a lot of resources. 

I recall how frustrated with Leavitt I was in 2009 and really had let the high of the FSU win really skew my perception. But he was prophetic in his comment that USF would not be great. He knew what was coming. 

I think the best thing that USF could do is see if he would ever accept a Jim Leavitt day in the future. October 16th when SMU is on a bye week, fly him in, bring his mom in and have a little halftime event.

The reason is Leavitt was fired for allegedly slapping a player (like a girl).  He was skewered in the papers and that makes him untouchable - not a bad coach.

Taggart....  :roflmao:

He's a great recruiter.  We couldn't again support the support staff to put around him to make sure he would make the right decisions for the talent he had.  Taggart didn't care about USF - he wanted to make his bag.  He did, now he cares even less.

I don't think you understand how college football works. USF is NEVER going to sit "at the big boy table". 

What just happened recently wasn't UH, BYU, UCF & Cincy joining the Big Boy Table.....it was OSU, TTU, Baylor were REMOVED from the Big Boy Table.
