sounds appropriate

The national sports media has made this a black eye for USF, so they need to be careful on how they handle this situation.

We can only hope that Leavitt gets an impartial review of the situation, and that the university does not turn this into a witchhunt.

Scott, I think we are about to lose our head coach. And in the process, maybe lose a bowl game and probably lose a bunch of recruits. I think that there have been so many anonymous people posting and calling radio shows and saying that this is true, this must be true, this has happened before, this is why we lose our assistant coaches… Leavitt supoposedly “put his hands” on Wally Burnham at a game a while back…

I guess I’m saying that I have that bad feeling that this is true, or if it’s not, that I sat here and watched a good guy get completely screwed because he made a lot of people jealous or whatever their petty reasons were for doing it.

Sigh. Go Bulls.

Witch hunt… yeah, people are saying that the dad backed off his statement because somebody got to him. Because they gave his kid a scholarship. They are saying that the school would sweep it under the rug - that means a lot of people committing felonies, I think. I don’t know how he recovers from this. If true, he’s gone; if not true, how does he possibly recover? I have a hard time believing that Lee Roy Selmon ignored assistant coaches coming to him and telling him about getting hit by Leavitt… I don’t see it. That Woolard is allowing all kinds of things to happen. But, regardless, I think Leavitt’s gone.

Dan…I have to agree with you.  So many people have come out, whether true or not, that eventually it may become reality.  And you are also correct that this is not the first instance of someone allegedly saying CJL did something “out of line.”

If this is the end, which I fear may be for the man but not as a coach, then it will be a sad ending to wonderful beginning.

Firing the coach will set the program back for quite a few years. I think the Athletic Director goes, too, if he covered up stuff. Sad ending. It’s over. They are going to run the guy out of town whether he did anything or not

No school in the country wants a story like this hanging over its head, but regardless of the outcome, the football program won’t crumble…look at Indiana basketball post-Bobby Knight, or the situation at Kansas…If Leavitt survives this, program may lose a few recruits, but current team is pretty young…if he doesn’t survive, USF will have ample strong candidates to replace him…key for program is to get this resolved soon, well before National Signing Day in Feb…I don’t know which way it’s going to go at this point, but going to be interesting next few weeks.
