Yeah - I'm pretty f'ng stupid. I know the history of USF and I know what they have done. I have no idea how that relates to us since we been on their 10 years plan for a century or so. They have had one coach in their history and made sure he was good and experienced when they hired him. Leavitt proved himself at a variety of stops including defensive coordinator at K-State during their 90's rise to prominence. He has an administration that supports him enough to repel offers from Alabama, Miami and Kansas State (so far) because he likes his situation. So I ask again, how are we like them? (Unless this is the time-honored board practice of hitching your wagon to a random star that someone busted their ass to make and pretending that it can just happen for us because we want it real bad. Boise did it - why not us? PASSED US BY!!!!!) The stadium (that you seem to not believe will ever happen) has theoretically raised the bar, but there is already debate on whether or not Dodge will be around to see it no matter what happens. How is hiring a coach and then having to deal with a bunch of problems with the personnel anything like what went on at USF? We have won fewer games in four years with two coaches than they have in their first two of football existence. We are both directional state schools in top football player-producing states and close to large media markets. After that, the similarities pretty much end. All I was trying to say to Greendozer is that I don't think we have made the moves to raise the bar that USF did, but thanks for swinging by, GG.
