Another USF Player Lines Up Against Leavitt


((HT: WDAE AM 620 Tampa))

Colby Erskin was thinking of leaving USF's football program anyway since he was a senior...or he might apply for a 6th year of eligibility because of all his knee problems...

But if what Erskin says is true, then head coach Jim Leavitt is in deep BS...
Pardon the pun...

First, an article by Brett McMurphy on Fanhouse.com came out Wednesday detailing Erskin's thoughts. He wasn't around when Leavitt allegedly slapped Joel Miller. But Erskin claims Miller came to him seeking advice on what to do...

"Joel told me that coach Leavitt was in his face and yelling at him for getting a penalty on a special teams play," Erskin said. "He said that Coach asked him a question about the play and Joel said he was hesitant to answer. Coach asked him the question a second time and Joel still didn't answer, so Leavitt grabbed him with one hand around Joel's neck and he slapped him twice with the other."

Leavitt, according to Erskin and his father, has retaliated- once by even putting all of Colby Erskin's belongings in the trash.

Erskin, has since gone on the offensive- appearing on the Steve Duemig show on WDAE-AM in Tampa...

It's a 20-minute interview, but it's an interesting listen...

The HQ maintains that Leavitt will get the same fate as both Mark Mangino and Mike Leach, but not until they can have enough evidence to blow the only coach USF has ever known completely out of the water...
