Even some USF fans are surprised to learn that Leavitt had a losing conf record in Big East play (17-18), as his best ever season in the Big East was with a 4-3 record.
I was actually at that game in the video. Crazy atmosphere. I worked with Leavitt at USF in the early years of the football program. He wasn't the easiest guy to get along with, but he had a laser focus. I think even UCF fans should begrudge him a little bit of respect for what he built there. I'm still undecided on the firing.

Ive read the report, talked to as many people as I can that are in the know... lets just say there is quite a bit of evidence that it may have been a total hose job.
Only three kids ever actually saw anything, all the adults plus the troopers in the room saw nothing. The three kids were friends...
The Jim was hardcore and isnt an easy guy to get along with...at the time. From what I have heard hes grown a bit.
For all the fans from UCF that joke about him, the simple truth is that he OWNED UCF. He took a program that was so much younger and just simply won. UCF does have Thee bigger win, but they dont have more big wins then USF and that is all due to The Jim.
I respect him for all he did here and for eternity he will be the father of USF football. I hope when our stadium is built that one day he has a statue outside because he deserves it.

i for one would love for the jim to take up residence as the DC in orlando. there is no hope for that program that he joined....... hopefully he will move onto a higher profile program.

I heard several UCiF fans mention The Jim for DC but they dont realize that his hatred for Oliar is real. He truly doesnt like that guy. Theres no way they would ever work together.
There was discussion at one point that Memphis had looked at him... so did USC and a few others. If Fuentes ever left, I can see him taking that job and it would scare the hell out of me cause he would mine tampa bays talent like a beast.

It has nothing to do with that. Just makes it funnier that it's the same guy who has made our program more successful than usf's has ever been. That's why usf fans hate him and that's why yall are the only ones who remember that little lie on his resumè and like to bring it up so much lol

I dislike him because hes a racist ass who lied on his resume and killed a kid. Only the most die hard and blind UCF fans dont admit that even though hes a success, hes still an ass.
and the point was, Jim Leavitt would never work for him. Ever.
and oh, btw... Leavitt did all he did without EVER putting his university on probation... your boy has done it twice so far.

So is Bowden a killer too lol? A kid died at fsu while he was coach because of sickle cell just like O'leary. How many conference championships and BCS bowls did leavit win?
O'leary isn't a "murderer" lol you're just butt hurt. Probation or not we win games. And y'all lose them
"I'd rather lose games than be on probation or cheat" blah blah blah we've already heard it. We win. Get used to it.
And if he is racist why would anyone work with him or play for him? You're just wrong and want to find reasons to hate him as a person because as a coach he made our program reach heights usf has only dreamed of. Ya know championships and a BCS win and finishing the season in the top 10 not just being there for a week

RE: Kinda OT:Jim Leavitt returns to College Football
So your have essentially admitted that you dont care how you win... and thats why you are WAY different then any UCF fans I personally know, cause they do.
How you can be proud of a man who yelled at a kid after he collapsed three times and pushed him till he died. How you can be proud of an administration who openly cheated repeatedly.
Its attitudes like yours that make UCF look bad but fortuantely many in your fanbase actually have a level of class and realized that your ONE big win wasn't really worth all the shame that was brought on to the university. Academics and reputation first... sports are a far and distant second if not third.

You're just so wrong about so many things. I just don't have the time or patience to try and further argue with you.
Ill just leave this here. Remember this the next time we beat you.

RE: Kinda OT:Jim Leavitt returns to College Football
Your finally shutting up? Amazing, guess it is my day to go buy lotto tickets.
and yes, I noticed that you have NEVER been able to show any evidence to the contrary of anything I have said... mainly cause the proof is on my side. Keep beating us an cheating. In two more years youll finally be off probation. so pathetic.
