I used to believe that until I found out Leavitt was offered the DC job last year and then tweeted out yesterday he's open to coaching again as long as its local so he can be close to his family

I saw that tweet, but coaches have egos and for Leavitt tocomeback here after the way he left and take a DC position it’s hard to swallow for him

Why does everyone keep saying the guy is nobody without his qb…newsflash…he recruiter that 2 star qb and look what he became! He stayed because of chadwell and didnt transfer out! He got big time offers!

taggart brought mack and flowers…

stop trying to say they are nothing without the guys they brought in. They are exactly why they were successful along with every other good coach. They win with good players!

What has he done without him? Did you watch that game vs JMU? Watch tomorrow vs Troy

I'm a fan of the Candle/Weiner combo at USF. Weiner would clean up Tampa Bay recruiting with his connections. We need to build a wall around West-Central Florida and I think they'd be successful. I mean, hell, they're doing it right now while coaching for Toledo, Ohio.

It's also a shame the Willie Simmons controversy killed his buzz. Dude can coach, and win.

Yeah, that feels like one where the fanbase would be disappointed at first but they could absolutely kill it. Then when Candle gets a new gig promote Weiner and he just may be here to stay (coached HS football for 30 years in Tampa between Jesuit and Plant)

We're living in Deion's past right now.

What we know?

• There were reports earlier in the week we have our guy. But it sounded like he had a game this weekend so we we're waiting until afterwards to announce.
• The admin would prefer someone with HC experience and ties to the Tampa bay area.
• Chadwell is likely going to Liberty

It could still be Deion, but it could also be one of these names that haven't been mentioned and the rumor mill has just been way off the rails. I looked through the coaching staffs of the upcoming games this weekend and found the non Deion names that fit this description:

Toledo - Jason Candle HC - Been there 7 years and has never had a losing record. While not a home run on the surface a lot of evidence he could be a lot better than what we've been the last 5 years. Look at Sonny Dykes, some coaches are a lot better than the resources they have at the school allow them to be. Not sure if Jason Candle is that guy, but a 65% win percentage in conference against his peers is respectable. Would also likely bring Robert Weiner as OC (who former Bull Vincent Jackson has pushed as a good candidate), been great with QBs for Toledo and won 4 state titles at Plant over 15 years so may be the best candidate after Deion for recruiting the Tampa area.

Georgia - Will Muschamp DC - 56-51 career record in the SEC. Gators coach for 4 years for Florida ties. Great defensive mind, has Georgia as the #1 defense in the country at the moment. Saban was famous for taking in failed coaches and whipping them back into shape, is it time Kirby's school of coaching graduates their first student?

Georgia - Todd Monken OC - Took over an 0-12 Southern Miss team and won 9 games in year 3, has experience with rebuilds. Buccaneers OC for 3 years in the Winston era so has some ties to the Tampa area. Year before he got to Georgia they had the #50 scoring offense, his first year they had the #38 scoring offense, his second year they had the #9 scoring offense and won the Natty with a walk on QB, and this year they have the #12 scoring offense.

georgia COORDINATERS arent going to usf

maybe their graduate assistant

we dont want a toldeo coach? what has he done?

Taggart actually wasn't anything without Mack and Flowers...

Without Mack that 2014 may have gone winless. Took a program record to beat Western Carolina

So if a coach isn’t anything, it’s on him….. if a coach is something, it’s on the players. The lengths some go to dis CWT is mind numbing at times.
