Jeff Scott stepped into a big fat mess in South Florida. USF has been neglected for years by terrible coaching. Since Jim Leavitt was fired for being too “mean” the program has floundered. Scott has the betting on College Football credentials of coming from Clemson. Subsequently, he is seen as a man that can build a program. Problematic is that it will take time. Tulsa has shown marked improvement in 2020. Coach Philip Montgomery’s roller coaster could be climbing. Following two bowls in his first two years has Montgomery struggled with three straight losing seasons.
