Jim Leavitt results

Does the USF football coach deserve such a significant raise?

Yes, he put USF's program on the map 151 votes - 86%

No, they just gave him a new deal in '05 25 votes - 14%

He didnt just put us on the map...he created us...lol....

Two 9/4's after 11 years does equal "Great Moves" - he is worth it.

[TRUTH D. Antagonist]

9-4 seasons are great, but Leavitt is gonna have to start doing better than 4-3 in conference.

and 9-4 isn't going to keep anyone happy very much longer.

how many of us would be happy with 9-4 next year?

now that we're pulling in solid recruiting classes and competing with bigtime programs for kids out of high school, i expect more out of Leavitt next season.

I think everyone agrees, being complacent with 9-4 years is not what we want. Leavitt knows it too. He's gettin paid to compete and beat the best

[Brad]

I don't mind the 9-4 as much as the 4-3 that BigBully mentions.  We need a conference crown.

Bingo.

Conference is what's key. That's why I was so frusterated halfway through the season when we were 6-3, yet 1-3 in conference and all I heard was how great of a season it was.

A 9-4 wouldn't be horrible the next few years, especially with our schedule coming up, but we definitely need to push for the conference championship.
