Abusing Players -- SO Hot Right Now!

If a smack-down of the Northern Illinois Huskies in the International Bowl can't save your job, then I don't know what can.

University of South Florida head coach Jim Leavitt has been fired for allegedly striking a player during a game this season, according to two reports.

AOL Fanhouse and ESPN.com are reporting Friday morning that Leavitt has been fired by the university after an investigation into his conduct of Special Teams player Joel Miller during the Bulls' November game against Louisville.

This now marks the third coach since the end of the college football regular season to be canned for abusing a player.  Congratulations Leavitt, you have now joined the esteemed ranks of Mark Mangino and Mike Leach!
