TAMPA, Fla. -- Skip Holtz is the new football coach at South Florida, taking over a program recovering from a scandal that led to the firing of Jim Leavitt.


The 45-year-old Holtz led East Carolina to the past two Conference USA championships. He inherits a talented but inconsistent team that's tasted the national limelight while also falling short of a goal of winning the Big East.

Imo this is a great hire.

He will do well.

Very good hire by USF they will move up the college ranks with this hire and keep all recruits more than likely and pick up some key commitments. Also this puts Skip closer to his mother and father who live in Orlando

Great news for USF, bad news for my beloved Mountaineers.

Great man for a great job he has done great with East Carolina
