Jim Leavitt for D-Coordinator?

Please Please Please

Jim Leavitt, currently the LB coach at San Francisco. After spending 1990-1995 under Bill Snyder at KSU, Leavitt spent 1995-2010 as the Head Coach for USF, leading them since their inception. I'll actually paste the exact wording from his Bio here, it sounds better than I could make it sound.

"The program began play in 1997 at the division I-AA level and immediate success propelled the Bulls to a national ranking for 24 consecutive weeks. South Florida’s ascension into the top 25 from entry into I-A/FCS was the fastest in NCAA history, surpassing Boise State’s rise by a mere seven weeks. The Bulls achieved another record on September 30, 2007, when they became the fastest program of the modern era to reach the top 10, landing at No. 6 in the AP Poll and No. 9 in the Coaches’ Poll. On October 14, 2007, South Florida received its first ever BCS ranking as the No. 2 team in the nation behind only the Ohio State Buckeyes."

What do you guys think? This guy would be a monster for our team.

I doubt it will happen, but I am a big fan of Leavitt. What he’s done with Navarrow Bowman and UCF is nothing short of spectacular. He brough them to relevance, a bigger conference, and high rankings. Harbaugh also liked him which means that you know he’s legit. But, again, I wouldn’t hold my breath.

Didn't he get fired from USF for punching a kid in the face?

We could use some of that. Mere headbutting a helmeted player isn’t enough anymore

Different system, just a position coach

For one, it’s hard to be that impressed with a position coach who has been given that much talent. How much credit does he really deserve?

Plus they run a 3-4 in San Fran.

And yes he was fired by USF after hitting a player then lying about it and trying to interfere with the investigation.

Good resume, but I’m always wary of giving position coaches too much credit.
