However, our D-line gave up a few 100 yard rushers in last years losses with Dan McCarney as the D-line coach. Strike 1.Selvie loosing production because McCarney isn't his coach? Bull****. Injury and the constant double-triple teams have bottled up his stats, yet some of the draft gurus still have him as high as #5. He's battled when he's been healthy enough to play. I remember last year that his production did slide for the second half of the season WITH McCarney as his coach. Strike 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not going to happen...here's why November 6, 12:04 PM by Tom Edrington, South Florida Bulls ExaminerFact: Ron Prince is out at Kansas State as head football coach after this season.Rumor: USF Coach Jim Leavitt could be a candidate at K-State.Fact: Leavitt's NOT leaving USF...here's why:1. Four REAL GOOD reasons: Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Nebraska.2. Recruiting: Good luck recruiting against the four REAL GOOD reasons.3. Leavitt has had enough trouble with Rutgers, Louisville, Cincinnati and UConn, so why take on the four REAL GOOD reasons?4. Ego. Leavitt's baby, USF, is now a pesky, underachieving adolescent that still HAS NOT won the Big East. 5. Declining Leavitt stock. If Leavitt was a stock on the NYSE, he would have fallen from a high of 100 last year to a low of 25 today.Finally this: IF Leavitt were to leave, sentiment is that USF would politely thank him and immediately place a call to Gator defensive coach Dan McCarney. Leavitt lucked out last year and hired McCarney as his defensive line coach. Florida coach Urban Meyer saw the results and promptly made him the Gators' defensive line coach. See any improvement this year at Florida? See any decline at USF? How about all those 100-yard rushers that have had success against the Bulls this year?And finally, ask the former sackmaster George Selvie -- and that's emphatically FORMER -- if he misses Dan McCarney.All these factors AND the simple situation is that Leavitt has been out of the K-State, Big XII loop too long.Oh, and yes. How about those wonderful winters in Manhattan, Kansas?he would be stupid to leave unless they offered him6-10 million dollars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strike 2.last year we had 3 guys rush for over 100 on us. 2 of those guys are in the NFL. Not to mention 2 others in the NFL that were nowhere near 100.
