Do I expect USF to be able to hold on to the coach if the BIG TEN comes? No! But I would hope that the new AD will bring in a coach that will continue that success. Once you have it, dont lose it. I remember when Gonzago kept losing coaches to bigger schools left and right after they made that tourny run. I believe Mark Few was their third hire in as many years. Somehow, they were able to make Few stick at Gonzaga and the whole nation knows who Gonzaga is. It was not always like that for Gonzaga. Man, I would love to see that happen at USF one day.

Is he a proven winner? Sure, at some level. But he's a Pitino assistant, and you just have to look at Pitino's coaching tree to know that this guy is very likely to be a success. here's a list of some of his more notable proteges. 1. Billy Donovan. Need I say more? 2. Mick Cronin-a consistent conference title contender and quality coach at Cincy. 3. Andy Enfield-From Dunk City to Los Angeles. 4. John Pelfrey-another quality assistant coach who maybe just wasn't cut out for being a head coach. Pitino is one of the best coaches to ever lead a college basketball team. If Masiello is even half the coach Pitino is he will do very well here. Great being with the strongest coach family in the world !!!

In my opinion, our problems are department-wide and greater than on field performance. since halftime of the 2009 Louisville football game, usf athletics gas been rotting from the top down THIS!!! I believe Sullivan backed off support lately for USF athletics (just speculating as I have no idea how much he puts into USF athletics). He has always been putting in millions to the USF colleges and USF Health even though we were going through bad times. I have no information on this but I find it interesting that he is making his name heard once again for USF athletics. Maybe he didnt agree with the previous USF admin? Maybe he likes the changes USF has made with going with a new AD?? All this is just speculation on my part. But I have to wonder. New AD Harlan has a great track record for fundraising. And I believe Woolard's fundraising may have been declining. So, Judy had to make a move. The major job of the AD is to bring in more money to athletics. Money talks. And to bring in that extra money, it takes hiring the right coaches that can win. Edited March 23, 2014 by Bull Daly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference is Ole Miss doesn't have the same potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea on who was on which side. I believe the boosters opinions varrIed. But there were some boosters that were outspoken about getting rid of Leavitt because of his late season collapse. The slapping incident and cover up were just want USF needed to get rid of him without owing him all that money. Which is why they eventually settled and both moved on. But I can speculate that maybe Sullivan was on Leavitt's side, Maybe he stopped supporting Woolard after that. I really dont know, I am just guessing about that.
