I think Leavitt took us as far as he could. That is supported by the fact that he hasn't held a HC position since leaving USF. 

I don't see the logic in that.

We don't know if he could have taken us further as the program was still in building stages.  And the fact that Brett McMurphy was able to run wild with a non-incident is why he is not coaching.  Take away that spectacle and other schools would take him in a minute.  Had he only locked the miscreant up in a broom closet. 

Leavitt got plenty of offers to leave USF.  To make comments that he hasn't held a HC job because of his ability is unsubstantiated and laughable.   He's got image damage.  Just like that turd Dennis Dodd writing a hit piece on him years after he left.  He pissed off the local media and we know how they close ranks.  He has suffered dearly.  The biggest criticism, and his AD wasn't courageous to step in, he didn't know what fighting with the media means.

As Mark Twain once said, “Never argue with a man who buys ink by the barrel.”

Deion Sanders should be interviewed to see if he would be interested in coaching at USF. He would bring in the top players and he would have the right coaches to get the job done. Deion would have an impact that the great Coastal Carolina Coach (Joe Moglia) had, it's about more than football. Deion Sanders and Tom Herman would be my top 2 choices. 

 

Deion would be so fun. Look at all the blue chip players and attention he's bringing to Jackson State. USF and Tampa would become relevant immediately. Have to imagine the fundraising would go through the roof too.

Think the contract would have to have a low buyout though, it'd be no secret he'd leave us in a heartbeat should FSU open up.

Leavitt is almost 66 years old.

I appreciate what he did here but I can't imagine he has the connections or energy to rebuild this program.

He hasn't been a HC in 13 years. His last two stops were at FAU and SMU as DC. It's time to move on.

Deion would be super fun.  I am not sure this is possible though.

I knew Gruden was going to come up.  I thought about it this morning and was surprised I didn't see it yet.  I wonder if the passion would be there?

He grew up in Ft Myers, we are the closest FBS school to his hometown. Still more likely he doesn't come here but that may be worth something

We played the home town card with Cash Taggart.  Or, he played it with us.  Either way, at the hint of mo' money, he cared very little about his home town.

he went from making $1.5m per year to $3+m per year. nobody passes that up.

we actually got paid by oregon when he left

I'll take that over paying someone not to coach here
