Sometimes the best defensive coaches are a little unhinged.
A friend of my son was in a club level booth and his wife was there. She was, umm, a bit wild. Hitting on guys, drinking, etc.
I’m going off on a tangent a bit here, but one of the reasons that we have Florida Man is the so-called Sunshine Laws, where everything other than family court is available online. And I mean everything.
We may not have the court history but this kind of stuff doesn't just pop up. I'd guess that there is a prior history of conflict between him and the women in his life. I'd also guess that there have been some schools that have ignored it because he was a good coach.I’m going off on a tangent a bit here, but one of the reasons that we have Florida Man is the so-called Sunshine Laws, where everything other than family court is available online.

For example, here is the arrest for one James Pierce Leavitt on 8/25/2025 for simple battery, domestic battery, and grand theft that aligns with media reports over an argument with an ex-girlfriend and the grabbing of an expensive hand bag.
James Pierce Leavitt also lines up with the Wikipedia entry:

Now, to answer your question, Jim Leavitt was married to Jody Leavitt while at CU.
Seeing a Tampa address for him, I looked up James Pierce Leavitt in Hillsborough County (Tampa) Clerk of Court and there is a 2/2/2022 dissolution of marriage between one James Pierce Leavitt and Jody Beth Leavitt. On 3/1/2022 there was a domestic violence with children filed between one James Pierce Levitt and one Jody Beth Leavitt. It is in family court so I cannot read details beyond the filing.
Without having other information, I cannot be 100% certain that the subject James Pierce Leavitt is the same football coach Jim Leavitt, but you can draw your own inferences.
Yes, absolutely. I would hope that by the age of 68 most people would have mellowed to the point where any criminal charge would be unlikely, but my own grandfather was brought in on a battery charge with a crab net at age 88, so who am I to talk?
Was that a rumor?
It was one I heard from multiple people.
He was popular as a assistant but not promoting him to head coach keeps looking more and more as a bullett dodged.
I just meant that it was fact, not a rumor.It was one I heard from multiple people.
I'm glad that the initial reports aren't true (or at least not supported by evidence). I liked Jim when I met him and will always appreciate the job he did at CU.Battery, theft charges dropped against Jim Leavitt, former USF head football coach: Court documents

Agree with this. At the same time this isn't the first time he has stepped past some boundaries. I hope that in the future we don't see anything more like this about him and I hope it is because he has been able to control his emotions and not be involved in anything questionable.
