AAC Getting Owned In Bowl Games Today

A young program on the rise.

 

One or two down seasons does not destroy that description.

 

 

As I said we're not the victim of an ebb and flow...

We have not just has one or 2 down seasons, so far its 3 basseasons-5-7,3-9,2-10.  Look at the pattern here.

[smazza]

with each passing year the difference in  talent level between us and bcs conference teams  will become more apparent

 

it is so sad usf is relegated to second tier status

 

yet dw and judy are still on the payroll

[smazza]

 

Got nothing to do with "Doug firing Leavitt" but with the general "unsuccessfulness" we find ourselves mired in.

 

Tough funk to get out of.  It's been a long time since we have seen promise of anything, including signs of life from Fowler. 

 

It has a lot to do with getting rid of Leavitt. He built the program from scratch. Without him, we would have never got into the BIG EAST.  Wins at Pitt openned eyes. Even the BIG EAST commish said so himself.   USF football is Leavitt.  

 

 

 

there are many coaches who would have done better than leavitt

 

leavitt didnt win a thing and left our program in shambles

 

how hard was it to start a football program in tampa in one of the largest universities in the usa

 

are you kidding me?

 

leavitt was insane!!!!!   his ego got the best of him

 

his decison to stop playing orlando school helped them and hurt us

 

he made so many poor decisions and he underachieved year after year

[JTrue]

I sad to

dw and judy should have takin invite to sec when they had the chance

Usf will continue to be miner league as long as they are around

[SANJAY]

If Leavitt left the program in a shambles (8+ wins a year and a bowl 5 years in a row) then there are no words to describe the last 2 years.

[BDYZR]

IT'S OVER! Pull the plug NOW and CUT OUR LOSSES!

 

USF football will NEVER, EVER, Never, Never, ever... amount to anything! Everyone should just go ahead and pick another LOCAL COLLEGE FOOTBALL team to follow and root for.

I know you're not serious, but it does beg the question, "Why do we follow USF ball teams?"

 

I posted the below in a roundball thread, but it's apropos here as well. Why continue to compete at a level which you are not competitive? Why not drop down a level? What's the point? 

 

Serious question, not trolling.

 

 

 

RPI data tweaked and sorted by conference. Going by AVERAGE RPI, it's pretty clear there are 5 top conferences (even the worst team is still in the 100's). At least the American is in the top 10 of conferences. Our top is good, but our mid and bottom teams need to step up.

Looking at the data, when your BEST team is 191st (Big South) it makes me wonder why they stay in D1. Why not drop down to D2 and be competitive?

 

[JTrue]

One big reason is, you can't be division 1 in some sports and division 2 in others. So it would have to be all or nothing.
