The article you posted is now refuting that.

East Carolina athletics director Terry Holland is refuting an online report that says football coach Skip Holtz has been hired at South Florida.

According to an unattributed report by AOL Fanhouse on Thursday, Holtz accepted an offer from USF to succeed recently fired Jim Leavitt.

In a letter posted on the school's Web site, Holland said there is no deal between his coach and the Bulls.

"Coach Holtz and I met this morning and he informed me that he and USF are still conversing about the open football coaching position," Holland wrote. "He indicated that he had not been offered the position nor had he told them that he would accept the position if offered.

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.

Holtz informed his old team of his decision during a meeting with players Thursday in Greenville, N.C. USF will introduce him as the second coach in the Bulls' 13-year history on Friday.

It's actually South Florida if one is scoring at home.

I hope he succeeds at SF. I would love to see him on the ND sideline one day down the road after Kelly decides to retire from his successful stint.
