when Leavitt had benefit of d 1 status and than big east(bcs)

holtz(bcs)

 

they both had a chance to build a powerhouse

 

neither could field a team to compete for a conference title!!

 

cwt now has a tough job since usf dropped down a to non p5 status-----however we should still be able to compete for an aac title.cwt should get 2 more years.it makes no economic sense to fire him

 

usf is not playing for the big boy championship and we need to realize it

 

yes mission we had a chance to be great during Leavitt years but that window is now closed and will not reopen unless we go to a p5 conference

Once again, you guys like to make it sound like I was a Leavitt supporter. I was actually somewhat of a critic.  So rather than rehash his shortcomings,   I prefer to laugh how some think its so easy for anyone else. I know better. Why on earth would anyone but an up and comer would accept the job?   Also, I find it amusing that you keep pounding the P5 drum and are in total denial that ESPN is  behind all of this.  That window is shut and locked now. ESPN and the powers that be have made sure of that.  I was the lone guy sitting in my section in the 3rd quarter.  No P5 conference wants that.

/conveniently ignores the year Cincy went 13-0 and beat Pitt in the de facto Big East Championship Game to finish #3.

My comments should not be considered a jab a Taggart .  Before he was hired I would have said that I preferred him over what we have had here.  So far I have not been proven right but we shall see.

Good question ... especially when both had decent success elsewhere .... burial grounds tendrils stretching out from the Dome?

It is the curse of Jim Leavitt. He didnt put it on it was just Karma. Leavitt situation was handled wrong by USF and now Karma has get the best of USF. Not sure how USF will break the curse. They may need to build that OCS and name it after Leavitt or at least put a Leavitt statue around the OCS. That may be the only way USF breaks the curse.

Induct him into the USF Hall of Fame. By himself. Would take some scheduling in advance to line up when he could be here for a home game, but it's time to do it.

"Well Leavitt had what? 5 years? Well maybe it's 6. Yeah, 6. You're on the clock Willie."

I'm sure there are plenty of programs that in their 6th year of 1A became powerhouses, and great, they could throw out as an examples, though ...

Smazzas one of the few b******** and moaners that haven't gone into hiding after Leavitt was deposed and the program tanked. Not saying it's good or bad, but a lot that thought underachieving in the 10th-12th years of existence because a BCS conference crown was not ours have moved to new areas of specialty. Good for the Bulls.
