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 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Best | Worst | Average | Conference 1 | 180 | 65 | Big 10 3 | 158 | 65 | Big 12 8 | 136 | 71 | Big East 7 | 178 | 83 | PAC 4 | 161 | 85 | ACC 12 | 293 | 100 | SEC 2 | 299 | 113 | Atlantic 10 22 | 264 | 125 | American 23 | 318 | 126 | MWC 18 | 247 | 132 | WCC 6 | 323 | 153 | Mo. Valley 41 | 292 | 157 | MAC 63 | 314 | 165 | Horizon 70 | 307 | 179 | Sunbelt 60 | 305 | 182 | Colonial 34 | 316 | 187 | Big West 38 | 325 | 191 | Summit 19 | 333 | 196 | Ivy 39 | 350 | 197 | CUSA 45 | 329 | 202 | MAAC 87 | 328 | 205 | Patriot 49 | 330 | 217 | WAC 72 | 347 | 224 | Southland 157 | 296 | 227 | Big Sky 48 | 348 | 234 | Atlantic Sun 83 | 336 | 239 | Northeast 121 | 340 | 241 | SWAC 57 | 345 | 242 | Ohio Valley 191 | 346 | 251 | Big South 95 | 344 | 261 | Southern 150 | 339 | 276 | Atlantic East 79 | 351 | 285 | MEAC 327 | 327 | 327 | Independent 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it would have to be all or nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
