I am sure Leavitt has contacted USF . . . it's in USF's court.

don't want to get my hopes up BUT all the people who have said Leavitt back to USF is never happening also we're saying Jeff Scott absolutely wasn't getting fired this year because the extension

Unfortunately I was watching the tribute video Paul Griffin and CJL was not interviewed however CWT it was Interview for flowers. I don’t think that was an oversight.

CJL retweeted his Tweet. I think that confirms that he is interested in the job. 

I re-tweeted it too.

I hope if it comes down to me and Leavitt in final interviews/selection I get a fair shot.

They also said a stadium would never happen in our lifetime and that an OCS didn't matter in getting called up to the majors.

So we have to pretend like CJL didn't exist.  Very cool strategy.

Jim Leavitt attended USF’s hall of fame banquet. Could induction be close behind?

---

The relationship between the university and its ex-football coach appears to be mending.

Quote

Could he soon become one of the inductees?
“I genuinely hope so,” said prominent USF booster Jeff Fishman, whose lead gift led to the construction of the Fishman Family Student-Athlete Enrichment Center.

Quote

Griffin, among the trio of inductees, mentioned Leavitt during his speech. So did current athletic director Michael Kelly. By several accounts, Leavitt received a highly positive reception, arriving early and staying afterward to mingle.

Quote

Naturally, Leavitt’s appearance Thursday will fuel speculation he’s in the running to replace Jeff Scott — fired as football coach on Sunday — and potentially resuscitate the program into which he breathed life more than a quarter-century ago. All indications suggest that’s not happening.

 

While that last quote is a no, it's certainly more of an uncertain no than the "no chance in hell" vibe thats been given off in the past

All good Brad.

Surprising how it was assumed that was where the event was allegedly taking place.

Surprising to think the USF HOF induction was happening on campus? Why?

Keep in mind, comments from the TampaTimesTribune are like those from a scorned woman, of which hell hath no fury like.

That will weigh heavy on MK, whether or not the little paper princesses will go McMurphy in defense of their brother.  Chances?  Likely.  It's not unnusal to see the press scared by the alpha dog.  Just have to have a better plan than last time.  Remember Joey absolutely loved Scott...figure it out.

That's a better point to make than my inabillity to figure out where it was being held!

I certainly see why the assumption was made, but we had certainly promoted the original and new locations, which were both off of campus.

I need to stop making excuses and get back to Tampa.

How soon before you make the move?
