Yes!  It is a conspiracy against you.  The only answer is to publicly complain.

My issue with the local coach calling out Goach like he did is it opens up the door for the "This is how USF has always done it" crowd (looking at you Big County Preps). This head coach has been in pl

Adults don't have to be adults anymore, just go on twitter or facebook to whine.  This is a grown up coach at a high school.  LOL.  He could have kept his dissatisfaction between him and Coach.

Of course we want to look to these coaches for validation of our last coach not working out, but these coaches need to grow tf up. There are tremendous resources that go into college football recruiting nationwide (especially in Florida). What I think this is more pointing to is that those schools/coaches do not have the talent coming out of their schools to attract the investment required to scout a single high school out of the thousands.  Sure, part of their job is to try and get those kids on scholarship, but at the end of the day if they are not producing the talent, then they can't expect a flood of recruiters. Those are the fall-back kids, the late cycle offers if we've missed on a more desirable prospect.

Seriously in real life we assume people have the worst intentions and are evil and hateful and then it's always something dumb like they didn't get the message and are happy to talk to us.

Absolutely. Seems like more often than not lately, Mr Spam Filter goes “let me take this perfectly legitimate, probably important, email and throw it in Spam just for ***** and giggles” …

the guy was just trying to get the attention of the local college coach to sell his players. can't fault him for that.

doesn't take much for Golesh to acknowledge him either. These are the kinds of relationships that are essential to our success.

thought we should have hired Leavitt to be an ambassador to the local area high school coaches. build that bridge with USF. not necessarily with our head coach.

Not sure if anybody is really faulting him for what he was trying to accomplish ….. it was the **** way he did it.

I'm not a big twitter guy but this is how it's done now. clearly it was effective as Golesh responded to him the same night.

Golesh clearly responded within hours if not minutes. The squeaky wheel gets the grease.

I don't agree with it but he was able to get his immediate attention. not sure a cute tweet has the same effect

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."
