USF fires Jim Leavitt

I can say that I'm not surprised at this news, albeit a late move on their part and probably ill-timed going into peak recruiting season. Dan McCarney's name will likely be thrown into the mix as far as to who will be Leavitt's replacement: http://espn.go.com/blog/ncfnation/post/_/id/17743/whats-next-for-south-florida

(BTW, we're scheduled to play them this coming fall.)

I live in Bulls country and I'm mixed because he led that program to the ground up however his team was inconsistent. McCarney and Tuberville I think are good choices.

I just want people to take a break from plucking UF coaches until next year. Take Tuberville--he's a good coach, he's familiar with the SEC, and he knows how to beat Florida (but that was 2006 with different players, so I am not worried for 2010).

Tommy Bowden's available, too.

Tuberville to Texas Tech, not good.

This is good. I have SEC hating, Texas Tech coworkers. I get to rub it in that SEC haters need to learn SEC football in order to understand the coach!
