Leach'd: Leavitt out at South Florida

Jim Leavitt has been fired as head coach of the South Florida Bulls for player mistreatment and lying during the course of the investigation. The Leavitt allegations actually surfaced before Mike Leach's dismissal at Texas Tech, but they weren't really paid any serious attention until the wake of the Lubbock disaster. After the investigation conducted by the school found "unacceptable" conduct, Leavitt was removed and AC Carl Franks was promoted as interim head coach. The school has begun a search for a new head man to replace Leavitt, the only coach the program has ever had. Talk about big shoes to fill. But, let it be a lesson: it's time for coaches to straighten up and fly right; schools expect the same from coaches as coaches do from players and it's time that we started to ensure this happens - even if it pisses off the fan base. Which, let's be honest, is made up of every-day, average, American-Joe sports fans...in other words, angry idiots with elementary school vocabularies and even more childish sensibilities. Hey, that kinda describes Jim Leavitt, too, when you think about it...
