Say what you will about where we are now, but we are trying to build the right way. Everyone knows we were tired of doing things like beating FSU then going on to get SHUTOUT by RUTGERS and losing to UConn in the same season. 

 

 CJL will always be the father of USF football, and we owe him a lot, but what happened to USF football was not because Leavitt left. It was because Woolard stayed. 

 

Edit:  Never mind

Eh.  USF ought to be the first to extend the hand of friendship to CJL sooner rather than later.  We don't want a Bobby Knight-like feud going on between us where former players are torn between CJL and the school.  We also should be willing to honor him later.  Give him something at an OCS or what have you.  The sooner that history is cleaned up the better.

 

Bring him back as coach?  I don't know.  Seems too soon to consider and it would be totally up to him.  If he returns half the fanbase will be upset that he's here and half the fanbase will treat I as the second coming.  I don't see it working out.

 

We put ourselves where we are now.  History isn't coming to save us.  We have to do that ourselves.  One way or another.

Worked for Surge.

Surge was actually out for years and had some success while Crystal Pepsi is considered one of the biggest product failures for a major corporation of all time.

New Cokes says, "Say it ain't so"!

That was a rope-a-dope by coke. Kinda like you don't know what you have until it's gone. Soda wars ended shortly after the "original formula" was reintroduced. Coke never looked back.

Can you name any example of a company that fired an employee who afterward brought a suit and they settled for millions? Almost $3 m out of the athletic budget. Would rather that went toward a covered football practice field.

Have yet to see former players torn between him and USF.

Former players respect Coach Leavitt and what he represented to the University... but they love USF and bleed green and gold. Simple as that. There's no bad blood between Joel Miller and other former players from what I've seen. Best wishes to Jimbo wherever he lands once his 49ers gig ends this year with Harbaugh leaving for UM. I disliked Jim as a person as much as anyone (read my old posts on here), but I did respect him as a football coach. I still believe he got out-coached on many occasions... hence why we were always mired in eight win seasons (which seem awesome now). However, if you told me we had to have four lean years to get over that eight and nine win peak that Jim got us to, I would take it in a heartbeat. Anyone can go to the prom... however only person gets to be the Prom King. Any competitive athlete will tell you it's all about finishing first.
