We’ve had no consistency with head coaches, assistant coaches, leadership, culture, and players since Leavitt was fired.

Let’s face the reality:  USF is an easy gig for a coach to collect a couple of million before he ventures on to greener pastures or disappear into the college FB abyss.  Not a single coach since Leavitt has truly cared about this football program.  And since we are not a brand like the big programs we can’t bring in enough talent across the lineup to be competitive.  Transfer portal is not the way to build tradition.

Solution:  start over with Leavitt 2.0

This.

UCF hired Heupel that didn't want to change a working formula. We hired Strong who didn't even watch the team play before. 

We don't have to resources to prevent successful coaches from leaving, but we do have the ability to hire new coaches that will continue a successful system.

 Strong hire was about the worse hire possible after Taggart...screwed everything we had going for us at that time.

What is Leavitt 2.0? Who would you recommend that both cares about USF and is qualified to build and lead the program?

It isn’t true that we need someone who has a long term commitment to USF…

I'm not sure I get the point of this thread at this point in time ..... on the surface, sounds like for continuity, we should have hired a coach like Chuck? Puc may agree because he kept droning on about how we went backwards from CCS last year ..... :rolleyes:
