Fennelly: Jim Leavitt proves he can still coach, but should he?
Excerpt:
"He deserves a lot of credit," said Matt Grothe, who starred at quarterback for Leavitt, including on the 2007 team that climbed to No. 2 in the county. "Everybody would be shocked if he wasn't a head coach somewhere after what he has done. The past is the past. I'm just glad it worked out for him."
Then there's Paul Miller of Tampa.
"Oh, my God," Miller said over in the phone. "A head coach again?"
Miller is the father of Joel Miller, the player Leavitt was accused of attacking at halftime of USF's game with Louisville in 2009. Paul Miller still has a problem with Leavitt coaching anywhere. I have some problems with it myself.
"It's not good for college football," Miller said. "It's not good for people in general. Something is going to happen. I don't know what. I don't know if he'll ever lay hands on another football player. But something will happen. He bullies kids. He bullies everyone. He's a bully."
