UConn moved up from FCS in 2000.

After spending 21 years there ...

Are you implying that Skip Holtz built UConn's foundation to win the Big East and dominate USF because he took them to the FCS playoffs.

That's reaching even for you, slick...

 

Why? People bring up 100 years of football like it makes some huge difference. If what happened 10 years ago is such a factor on a team, then USF would be top 25 now, right? USF never got higher than 3rd in the Big East while other programs, that didn't have "the best recruits" in its back yard won the Big East. Saying its because they had football a long time is ridiculous. Leavitt didn't have any worse depth than UConn or UL, etc.. That is an excuse that others didn't use because they were too busy winning the Big East.

 

 

Pretty sure when most people are talking about longevoty of a football program, it's not players and coaches they're talking about, it's boosters.

 

By having a 100-year head start on us, they ougth to have 100-odd years of better boosters, and money talks.

 

 

USF has had boosters for decades. And doesn't have the expense of an OCS.  Don't buy it.

Why is this on the main USF Athletics board?

Petrino was never falsely alleged to have been the most powerful man in the building.

But many of them are not alumni.  As the years go on you'll see more alums getting involved financially.

No expense of an OCS. No revenue either.

I'm in Kansas City this week and working with a guy who played safety for the Jayhawks in the mid to late 80s.  What he is thinking that Harbaugh is going there, reasoning that it is a logical location since his wife's family all reside in the area.  He also knows about Leavitt, but the opinion out there is if he moves back to college coaching, it will be as Snyder's replacement.

UCF might have an opening in December

I thought you had an assistant that was basically your coach in waiting?

Would have been a major expense for years now. They don't go away when no one comes to games.

You mean Leavitt would replace Snyder as defensive coordinator at Texas A&M? Aggies would win national championship with a Leavitt defense.

Leavitt and Mangino together on the same staff would be pretty interesting. I wonder if K-State already has the feelers out for that combo.

I just cant see Leavitt taking the KU job. There will be better jobs that open up for him, so I doubt he jumps to the Jayhawks. He may just wait out Bill Snyder and take over at KSU like he could have done before if he was not so loyal to USF. Thanks a lot to the USF people that got rid of a loyal coach.
