He's also very close to his mom, which is very important to him.

I don't care about what "happened" at USF, he's found his Faith and is a changed man.

Lane Kiffin can say the same, although his dismissal was different.

Some coaches are just winners, and that is that - they are called to their profession and skilled by inherent gifts.

Regardless, he's the best $400K coach we ever had and is worth every single penny…was able to take what everyone thought would be a weak point for the team, and turn it into the strength - hands down.

Didn't involve turning a gum wrapper into a nuclear bomb, but AMAZING job and…

I think coach Leavitt is the absolute best. Great coach and great person. That is hard to find. When you do, you keep them. And  I HATE the portal as it stands. I thought it was designed to give kids the option to move if the couching staff changes. Now kids can leave if they don't like the weather

Liberty is going to need a coach in a hot minute…they’ve already resurrected a tainted career and they’re perfect For a man of faith like Leavitt. If he leaves, that’s a job I could see him taking.

Ricks point about visiting his mom frequently is sound though, can’t put a price on that at his mothers advanced age.

The portal should have been designed for two major reasons. Not blocking players from transferring to certain schools, and for allowing players to leave with staff changes. 

I am all for kids having the right to transfer if they want to. But I also think guys need to try toughing it out when things get rough, at least to start. 

What is getting lost in blue-chip kids leaving big schools like Nebraska is how many of them are from Florida. That is a major cultural shift in many facets of life. 

BTW, UCF's McKenizie Milton is available.  It has been two years since that horrific injury he suffered against USF. His friend at UCF is a pretty exceptional QB. He does not want to compete against him at QB but wants to play. He is transferring. He is worth a look. He has been healthy enough to run the scout team QB.

IEven if he has lost something, he is light years ahead of our QBs right now.

That’s a really, really good point.

Freeze isnt going anywhere this year. Liberty just raised his pay to 3m a year. IF Freeze leaves it will be for a lot more money not like 900k more and the stress of a P5 bottom feeder like South Carolina.

Jason Driskel coming back for a phd would be light years ahead…


That being said Milton would be a catch.

There’s an article in the PBP where Taggart is talking about Posey and how he will improve this off season and have a good spring. It’s seemed like he wants Posey to be the long term option.

Personally I’d like for us to at least reach out to Milton and a lot of other QB’s that aren’t going to be starters. I’m really not feeling confident about Posey. All signs point to Taggart wanting him to be the Starter the next few years. I don’t even know if Taggart plans to get a QB to compete for the job. With all Taggart has on the line I’m surprised.

I'm watching unt/ LaTech. We need a passing game. Im jealous  watching  the arms on these young guys. Our biggest weakness
