POLL: Leavitt for FAU Head Coach #2

If he's available, should FAU hire Jim Leavitt to replace Schnellenberger?

Yes, we should hire Leavitt after Schnellenberger.
No, Leavitt would be more trouble than it's worth.
I would prefer another coach altogether.

You must select between 1 and 50 options

UM has a lot of talent on their D, and they are not very good.... gave up 36 to Ohio State.... 21 to Clemson.... last year their defense was getting torched too....

He just took the job last year.  You have to give him 3 seasons to show what he can do.  I dont like UM but I've seen them play a few games.  They have a top 10 defense.  21 points at Clemson isn't bad and Ohio State on the road is a monster.

Re: POLL: Leavitt for FAU Head Coach #2

Is Schnellenberger still directot of football operations or does the position even still exist? I presume it was done away with when the program actually started playing.

I am asking this because I wonder if he could stay on in that capacity as a sort of consultant even with a new coach in place. Of course this could serve to undermind the new coach. Anybody have any knowledge of this?
