I know Jim Leavitt will most likely never hold any post at USF. Also, he may not want to be an AD.

I just have no idea what kind of intangibles/connections that we would need from a potential AD hire. You can say “strong decision making and good communication”, but that is literally any job.

Yeah, I think a feel for athletics has to be at the top of that list. You have to someone who can hire the right coaches above all else. If you produce a consistent winner, the other aspects (eg fundraising, community involvement, business partnerships) will follow. MK seemingly has the fundraising down but he’s perpetually swimming upstream because his inability to hire thus far.

But with his fundraising and Golesh maybe a great combo.

Hearing the ol' rumor mill grinding of VPMK back to CFP in wake of Bill Hancock's retirement announcement.  If that occurs--and it is a big IF -- who would be a good replacement for the position at USF given the critical timing?

 A great hire to replace Kelly; if he were to leave USF, would be the FAU athletic director. They have had greater recent success then us in both football and basketball, have made some impressive hires, and have built an OCS

Although I don't see anything substantial about this rumor being true.

As former USF hoops Coach Heath would say. If MK leaves USF then all bets are off for USF being invited to ACC lol

Could be. I threw the “thus far” out there intentionally. Jury is still out on Golesh but I’m liking what he’s done more then not.

Leveraging your close relationship to Michael Kelly?

Whomever would be the replacement (spoiler alert no one is hiring him away anywhere and I’m sure he is floating the idea to no one that will listen; as per usual) but I wouldn’t take a job where people on the internet can question my fiat.

This is a typical "discussion" when one side wears blinders. One says ACADEMICS ARE FIRST, and the other has no clue what academics are.

Hope there aren’t many FSU fans lurking here, doubt there are, but Jim’s pulling no punches here (notably he’s a USF grad):
