Skip may be the coach, but he's not a Bull

It will be tough to get a coach that is a Bull like Leavitt.

Well said ET

I don't know who, but maybe some day a former player will take over at head coach, now that would be special.

Agree, but I don't see anyone on the horizon.

There will never be another Leavitt, because there will never be another head coach that can do what he did in starting our football program. This is not to say there isn't a brighter and better future for this program with a future head coach. Our Steve Spurrier, Bobby Bowden or Nick Saban will arrive, hopefully sooner than later.

Full faith. In it!

Unless the coach is an alumnus of that school, the coach will never truly be a "Bull" or whatever the mascot of that school may be.

Some coaches don't have strong ties to their school, actually MOST!

When I think about Holtz and his past, I can't help but go back to thinking about this game...which was basically Skip's last game before coming to USF.

Although I think the blame could be on the kicker missing 3 field goals, I remember watching the later portions of this game and seeing ECU squander chance after chance to put it away...and looking back, I realize ECU was playing similar style that we're playing now. Not to lose.

You nailed it. I like Skip, but he plays to not lose. Against CUSA teams that works because you are just playing and waiting for a mistake from your opponent.

When the competition is better they don't make mistakes as often and this style doesn't win as much. I just hope he sees it because I think he has the mind and the motivational ability to make this team great. Also, to be honest because his darn contract has quite the buy out now, too.

I like the guy and he has tried to coach the way that won at ECU, but it isn't working here, so I sincerely hope that he sees it like everyone here and makes a move, and shakes it up somehow.

It boils down to this... FIND A WAY TO WIN BECAUSE AT THIS LEVEL THE COMPETITION DOESN'T JUST LOSE!

Well said. As a football program you can be the victim or you can be the bad-asses-in-your-face-no-matter-what type. This applies to everyone involved in the program: players, coaches, fans, boosters, administrators, etc. There's no room for the timid in big time college football.
