Where is jim leavitt

Florida State Seminoles. How a computer science major made punting cool and turned into a viral sensation. San Diego State Aztecs. Arizona Wildcats. Nebraska sticking with Scott Frost is the right move, but the clock is ticking. Alabama Crimson Tide. Jan 27, Close College football reporter. That was a big deal. Leavitt has taken a different route than most established coaches.

At a young age, he became the head coach of a brand new South Florida program. He built it up over 13 seasons, oversaw its joining the FBS and even had it ranked No. In San Francisco, the 49ers made three conference championships and advanced to the Super Bowl once. In his second season at Colorado in — when he was in charge of recruiting the D-FW area — the Buffaloes finished , their first winning season in more than a decade. He helped turn an Oregon team that was the year before he got there into a squad in his second season.

Now, in my mind, in my heart, do I feel like I could be really successful as a head coach? Yeah, I do. Even though there was no connection to USF, Leavitt still felt an added desire to win that day, which the 49ers did. K-State won as many games in his six years as it had in the 18 before his arrival. He was named head coach of the University of South Florida in and had a little of a year-and-a-half to hire a staff, stockpile a roster and do everything else needed to begin play.

The school competed for the first time as an independent on the I-AA now FCS level for its first four years of existence , compiling a record and at one time was ranked 24 consecutive weeks. USF won its first-ever game, a resounding verdict over Kentucky Wesleyan, before nearly 50, fans at Tampa Stadium.

In fact, South Florida became the fastest program in the modern era to ascend into the top 10 from the point where the program first began I-A competition, a period of six years. USF eventually would finish that year, just missing a Top 25 ranking.
