Leavitt didn't even make the list.  Granted, O'Leary did a fine job this year (against crap teams), but for Leavitt to not even make their list is a joke.

When do they vote?  If it is after Dec 3rd and if USF makes it to a BCS Bowl I don't know how you could vote for anyone except CJL.

Remember, the only reason GOL is being considered is because of the crappy coaching job he did LAST year. Any coach worth his salt gets at least ONE win out of that pathetic schedule they had ......

I interpreted that as a column/editorial.  Not as any kind of official award.

But even still, I don't think Leavitt gets it, nor does O'Leary.  The coach from Western Michigan.  Hands down - 2nd biggest turnaround this year and with a lot less to work with as opposed to UCF and USF, let alone Notre Dame, Penn State or South Carolina.

Just my 2 cents.

If and only if we can beat UCONN and WVU will Leavitt get consideration for such an award.

CJL would have to win the Sugar Bowl to get consideration for the COY award.  Right now, people are using USF as an excuse to justify stripping the Big East of their autobid.   That's the media perception, and perception is reality right?

Given Leavitt is doing a great job...O'Leary took over a program with very little experience and wasn't able to even get a full recruiting class until after his first season.  They were the youngest team in D1-A in 2004 and 6th youngest coming into 2005.  The facts weren't who they played...but how to coach these young guys to win and not just win...advance with an opportunity to win the conference.
