http://www.latimes.com/sports/nationworld/wire/sns-ap-fbc-south-florida-holtz,0,3962602.story GREENVILLE, N.C. (AP) ? Skip Holtz is leaving East Carolina to take over as coach at South Florida. Team spokesman Tom McClellan says Holtz informed the team of his decision in a meeting Thursday afternoon. AOL FanHouse was first to report the hiring. Holtz replaces Jim Leavitt, who was fired earlier this month after a school investigation concluded he grabbed a player by the throat, slapped him in the face, then lied about it. Holtz compiled a 38-27 record in five seasons with the Pirates, including wins in the past two Conference USA championship games and high-profile victories against Virginia Tech and West Virginia in 2008.
Skip Holtz is awesome, hopefully he renews the rivalry with UCF, especially since he's already 4-0 against the Knights.
