Posted by MaltLiquorBull,

Just reading all the current threads and thinking about how crappy this football program has become.  Every time I think we're at "rock bottom," we seem to find a new way to go even lower.  So I thought of how sunny and rosy everything was in from 2007-2010 compared to today.  I thought about the Bulls Pen, and how even back then when we were in a power conference, nationally relevant, a giant killer, had fans in the stands, WE STILL FOUND STUFF TO ***** ABOUT.   Here are some of the gems I

Fun read! Thanks for digging up misery from the good old days!! :)

One of my biggest gripes, which I expressed to Woolard in an email in 2012 when it was clear Skip had to go... was that Leavitt's pool of $$ for assistant coaches was awful. Skip got like double what Leavitt had and promptly went out and gave all of his buddies 50% raises to come with him. Yes, Leavitt worked wonders getting assistant coaches for peanuts compared to what they could get at another BCS school.

USF football was CJL's baby, and he would've done anything for it.  I can remember hearing the news of his firing and then turning on the TV and seeing CJL that day taking questions at an attorneys office.  Reporters were asking him what he was suing for (damages, etc.), and his response was basically that he just wanted to be reinstated as the head coach of USF.  He kept bringing up players' names who he had close relationships with, etc.  And it hit me, this guy actually thinks he can somehow legally get the decision to fire him overturned.  He's not done with his mission.  He just wants to be the HC of USF football.  He wasn't thinking about compensation for damages.  It was sad to watch because I knew that there was a 0% chance of him getting what he wanted.  Sad.

My favorite gripe from back then, and a bit earlier, was CJL plateauing. Man, I'd love to be at a 8 or 9 win per year plateau right now.

Yep.  Here is another interesting spin.  We started BE play in 2005, right?  So let's say since the 2005 season until the end of the BCS era, we were in a "BCS conference."  During Leavitt's tenure (b

Where was this discussion a year and a half ago?

It occurred, including an update from CJL passed to me by a mutual acquaintance.  He was hoping to be considered in the search.  I thought Kelly would at least consider as he at least had displayed the ability to say his name.

It would have been nice.  Actually now that I think about it, it would would have been a cost-free way of mending some fences.
