That is terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just saying that what he did then is completely different than what CJL has done AND what he is tryng to do at FAU. Like you said, a totally different college football landscape back then...

It should however make you gloat a little less loudly on our board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, to me, what CJL has done with USF proves that what Schnelly is trying to with FAU is possible ...I will be rooting for the Owls tonight against Memphis. Every little bit helps our SOS for that final BCS standing ....Schnelly's previous work at UL and UM helped give Leavitt a blueprint for building a program.UL and UM both had a history and jock straps before Howard got there. CJL may have looked to what he did at UM as far as the TEAM was concerned, but for building a program, from the bottom up, CJL was winging it .... and did a **** fine job.miami never won anything before howard sleavitt is not the coach howard s is by any stretch of the imaginationleavitt has done a great job but building football program at usf isnt that great an accomplishment.you arent giving usf,the talent pool and surrounding communities enough credit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys were on a roll during the season, then all of a sudden a 3 game skid. IMO, Leavitt had alot to do with that skid. Not saying it was all his fault, but that guy seems to lose focus during some games, because of the way he loses control on the sidelines, with that said, the players pick up on that & in turn lose focus as their HC loses focus. Leavitt has done a good job so far, but IMO he insn't the guy to get you guys to the top. I may be wrong, but he may keep you guys ranked, but that's about it.

The best you can hope for is the Rl Carriers Bowl for the next 15 years. Congrats on being the best of the worst, well second worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fascinating....Are you a sports psychologist?Nah, I just play one on this message board. You tell me, how many times have you seen Leavitt lose it on the sidelines? Personally, in all three games I watched USF play this year, Leavitt had a meltdown in each one. It's not cute, it's disturbing. Also, don't say that Leavitt doesn't lose it, if you do then you have some serious denial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
