^^^^ unnecessary, and not necessarily so.  By all accounts, at least smazza's, USF has everything to be successful.  Sun, the Andros pool, and Florida.

 

Don't be so negative about our program.

 

Also, Judy, who is involved whenever she wishes to be, would not allow her non-P5 program to play a Leavitt coached team.  

You know what they say about opinions...

If I was an AD, I would hire Jim Leavitt in a NY second!!

Why is this on the main USF Athletics board?

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

If I ran fau it fiu, I'd throw serious cash at Leavitt

the dude is a program builder

 

A couple of our nutjobs here claim it isn't so, because he hasn't accepted an offer to go somewhere and build a program again.

 

 

He can build a program - but he can't really take it to the next level... He is the best to take a team from nothing to at least 3 conference losses per year.

Jim would be good at FAU. Would not be good for USF obviously. I think its too much of a step down for him. 

 

Now SMU? I think he'd be real dangerous there. Recruiting TX & Florida.... He can get them back on the map.

If you're basing this statement on the one HC job he's ever had, then I'm assuming you believe we should fire CWT right now since it's proven he can't win more than 7 games.

Leavitt did a great job here.

But so did Selmon in getting donors.

Non alums probably give more $ than alums.

With more fans, will come more wins.

Something else to consider is Jim Harbaugh's potential for being ousted in San Francisco. Have to be dummy for another coach to go in and pick apart that defense of staff, but it's possible he might need a job after this year.

I think it's hard for anyone to be successful in Kansas. Jim can hold off and get a job in a better CFB region.

 

Jim and Bob Stoops were both successful at K-State with Bill Snyder.  Another Snyder disciple, Mark Mangino, certainly was successful at KU following his stint as an assistant as well.

Bill Snyder was and remains a success at k state.

I doubt Jim leaves a good situation for Kansas

 

 

San Fran isn't the rosy place it was previous... there's a good chance there will be a coaching change there soon and CJL could find himself looking for employment.

Just because he hadn't yet taken us to whatever next level you're referring to doesn't mean he couldn't .... doesn't mean he could, either ... but based on where he brought us, he had earned a few more years before putting that label on him.

Leavitt himself said that he was a couple of recruiting classes away from building the depth needed to get over the mid season slump.

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."
