January 8, 201016 yr So the kid that he is accused of hitting says it isn't true but they still fire him? Or did I miss read the ESPN article.
January 8, 201016 yr So the kid that he is accused of hitting says it isn't true but they still fire him? Or did I miss read the ESPN article. I think he was fired for an alleged cover up. Saying he told people to change there story, etc...
January 8, 201016 yr Would Charlie Strong be a candidate? I know he just took the UL job but why not give it a shot if you are USF?
January 8, 201016 yr I hate to hear this due to having a friend on the coaching staff there. I'm not sure how good of athletes his two boys are, but maybe he can find a job in the area and bring them back home to Corbin. I would be interested in what Steve has to say about this, although Doug Woodard appears to have placed a gag order on everybody.
January 8, 201016 yr Link to Leavitt's termination letter. http://aolradio.podcast.aol.com/fanhouse/Leavitt_letter.pdf
January 8, 201016 yr I read the report. There is no reason to disbelieve what they gathered in the interview process. Even discounting all of the hearsay witnesses, if I were in their shoes, I believe I'd have come to the same conclusion. Wow. That's about all I can say. Sad day for the FootBulls. What follows is a pdf of all of it, the termination letter and it's attachments, including Jim Leavitt's contract. Note, that under Florida law, the student athletes cannot be named publicly without their permission. That is why they are referred to as Student Athlete A, Student Athlete B, ...,etc. and their names are blacked out in Appendix A. http://www.gousfbulls.com//pdf4/664295.pdf
January 9, 201016 yr Don't be surprised if they give Rick Stocksill at Middle Tennessee a call. If so, do you think they would run the Franklin System there with Tony coming along?
January 14, 201016 yr I saw on tv, where they had contacted Mike Leach, isn't that a bit weird.?Considering the situation?
January 14, 201016 yr USF should be an attractive job. Nice recruiting base, they've established some success, and they're in a conference that gives a great opportunity for BCS appearances.
January 14, 201016 yr Really?It's being reported all over the web. ESPN and the local papers are reporting the chatter. Rome announced it on his show, when interviewing Mike Jenkins. However, nothing official from either USF or ECU, that I've seen.
