Jim Leavitt held a press conference in his attorney's office Monday to announce he wants his job back. The former South Florida coach adamantly denied the allegation - that he slapped walk-on Joel Miller during halftime of the Louisville game on Nov. 21 - that got him fired last week.

"I just want the truth to be out there," Leavitt said. "Extremely important to me. It really is. I just want to share the truth."

But when given the opportunity to share the truth, Leavitt declined.

He smiles more than you would expect him to. He has a dry sense of humor, so his jokes tend to sneak up on you. And then there's this, from defensive coordinator Kirby Smart. Saban apparently is quite the creative interpreter of the unwritten rules of golf.
