Re: Is Leavitt a candidate for OSU?
The media is tossing a ton of names out there Leavitt being one. Pretty sure nobody has been contacted yet. I would think there are many candidates names floating around the AD's office, this will be interesting to watch but still weeks away. Of the media names being puked out early, Jonathan smith and the ex eastern Washington coach who is now a coordinator somewhere, lol yea no clue to his name or where he's at other than in the PAC 12 somewhere. Those two would be my way too early guesses at this point, not Leavitt.

Beau Baldwin (former EWU coach) is OC at Cal now - that's someone I was kinda hoping Oregon would get after they let Helf go.Alan wrote:The media is tossing a ton of names out there Leavitt being one.

Leavitt would be a bad hire for them.

Selfishly speaking or do you honestly think this? He seems like he would be a great hire for them.Phenom wrote:Leavitt would be a bad hire for them.

Re: Is Leavitt a candidate for OSU?
Based on what? He's an old coach who's only had moderate success elsewhere. He's a much better DC than HC.karlhungis wrote:Selfishly speaking or do you honestly think this? He seems like he would be a great hire for them.Phenom wrote:Leavitt would be a bad hire for them.

You think they'd hire a guy who got in trouble for punching a player?

OSU is a career ended, no one with any kind of aspirations will take it. I could see a desperate coach like Baldwin jumping on it, and he'll be fired in 3 years.

I like the guy just curious what everyone else thinks. I know a few who were not to happy when he got the boot at USF.

Re: Is Leavitt a candidate for OSU?
Reading the story about USF, I probably would have choked the kid too. He made a mistake and paid the price. He had them ranked #2 and from everything I've seen here he is a really good coach. I think he would be a great fit for the "lunch pail" attitude that OSU seems to love and I think he would turn them around. I just hope it doesn't happen.FlDuckFan wrote:karlhungis wrote:We did.FlDuckFan wrote:You think they'd hire a guy who got in trouble for punching a player?

Re: Is Leavitt a candidate for OSU?
The worst part about that job is they can't actually afford to fire their coaches. If a coach goes there and doesn't see great success he's stuck. And 5 years later he's a coach nobody wants and his career is toast. Like you said: It's a career ender. Which is exactly why Andersen was OK with leaving $12+ mill on the table; his career is still in tact. It wouldn't have been if he had stuck that mess out for another 3 years.buckmarkduck wrote:OSU is a career ended, no one with any kind of aspirations will take it.
