No, it wasn't just like Dimel! Dimel only managed eight wins in three seasons at Houston. Leavitt, who was 95-57 at South Florida, lost his job because of allegations that he had struck one of his players. Leavitt won eight games the first season South Florida was promoted to a D-1 status. He built South Florida out of literally nothing, for he was the program's first head coach. By his 9th/10th season, I forget which, he had South Florida ranked in the top ten in the country at one point. If I'm not mistaken he had South Florida ranked number 2 in the BCS, just behind Ohio State. If you check the facts Dimel can't hold a candle to Leavitt. Go 'Cats!
Michcat is delusional... just look at his posts when Bill came back, along with his views on RP. I worked very close to the program during RP's time and can tell you for a fact that the ship was sinking. Two more years would have had critical support staff and players heading for the exits.
Please start master thread with insidery stories about Ron et al
x2
Also please start a post digging up my posts about ron and Bill. *swoon* 
You just licked RP's junk in this very thread, and don't lie about your views when Bill returned, Rusty.
Let's put it this way, RP had a track record of advising non-football staff on how to perform their job, and not in a civil manner. And not to mention, the growing number of High School coaches from around the state who were separating themselves from anything RP. He never made inappropriate comments to HS secretaries or anything like that.
