Mike Shula might be interested... He could do some great things for UT

I don't like Levitt at all, but my opinion is based on some anecdotal things I've heard about the program he runs. First, apparantly, the guy lives a bachelor's existence down there, which isn't the worst thing in the world. BUt at Bama, we have needed and now have some stability, and I'm not sure a guy with no family and a "do what I want to do" attitude is best. Again, I'm not ragging on the guy because he's not married. I envy that! Just saying that he's not the medicine ALabama has needed anytime in the past 10 years, and won't be in the future either.

As far as his coaching skill, I still think that's debatable. I see USF as a team that paralells a Houston Nutt coached team. Gimmicks, penalties, and close ball games. Not a complete coach, again, IMHO. USF is performing at a high level, but they are prone to meltdown, as we saw last season. He's good for someone though.

I agree with a lot of the coaching issues you mentioned. I've watched USF ovwer the years and they are a really streaky team. Up and down, Jekyll and Hyde from one game to the next. They often look good upsetting higher ranked opponents one week, then lay down in a game the next.

They're a hard team to figure out, and that has to be attributed to coaching (atleast to a certain degree).
