Love Jim and what he means to the program, but I think his time has passed. 

To me, it's telling that he never got another job as a HC. He had a few good positions, but obviously nobody else thinks he has it either. I'd rather remember what he built.

How about we start small...have him honored at halftime as founding coach with former players.

Instead of spending our energy on fire Jeff Scott maybe should spend on a bring back Jim campaign? New indoor practice field new stadium. Jim back oh boy!!!! Let’s do this!!

4 wins in 3 years... you think Leavitt would be any worse? At this point, would I expect him to build a top-25 team in the next 3-4 years? Probably not, but I think we could have some fun watchin

When you have lowlifes dropping stories like this 5-6years later and during your career opportunities is not helpful.  If you can keep the myth alive you can continue to assert power and propagate the nonsense.

Jim Leavitt back in college game, while player he struck is struggling - CBSSports.com

In 2010, South Florida fired Jim Leavitt for striking Joel Miller. Yet in 2015, Miller is paying a far bigger price for the incident.

It is hard to get 4 wins in 3 years.  Takes a certain kind of talent.

Not bad for a top ranked professional boxer.

Football hasn't been fun, on sustained basis, in years.  I dropped season tickets this year but still find my way to most games. After every game, I question why I bothered. Thats bad... I am part of a avid family of Bulls that went to every home game. One by one, family told me they wanted to do something else with their time and money.  Now I've sadly reached the same crossroads. I want it to as fun as it once was, but I can't make that happen.

One thing I know - Jim would make it fun again.

I am right there with you but i have not seen Bama play in person before. I want a chance to witness the greatness of Saban at Bama in person. I am keeping my tickets for that game and hope whoever is the coach can go bowling next year.  If they go bowling. I keep my tickets if not I am back until the fun returns.

I go to games now mostly for the tailgating and to make memories with my kids. They are too young to really understand the difference between winning and losing, they just like seeing Rocky, the cheerleaders, etc. If it wasn’t for the kids id probably just watch the games on tv and save time and $$. I really hope we can turn things around because USF games used to be fun.

Hopefully he retires after he wins the championship this year.

That would suck, but I doubt it. I always wanted to see him in coach in person.

Scott Cochran was Saban's S&C coach his entire time at Bama until 2019 and at LSU before that.

At games he'd be on the sideline running around keeping guys hyped up. On all the pregame/hype videos on the jumbo-tron he was the voice narrating. 

That bolded part is my dream capacity to bring Leavitt back in. He's too old to have all the head coaching responsibilities, but the passion he has for football would be such an asset to the mindset of everyone on the sideline. And him hyping up the fans on the jumbotron would give goosebumps
