History
Dan Holcomb Era (1965-1986)
USF men's soccer began NCAA play in 1965 under Coach Dan Holcomb. Holcomb guided the team for 22 years, compiling a record of 216-86-23, and earning 6 NCAA tournament berths.[1]
Jay Miller Era (1987 - 1993)
In 1987, Jay Miller took over as coach of the Bulls. In seven years, he compiled a record of 69-43-15. The Bulls entered the Sun Belt Conference in 1990, and, with a record 5-1-1 in conference play, they were named Co-Champions.
In 1992 and 1993 the Bulls played in the Metro Conference, compiling a record of 3-5-1.
Under Coach Miller, the Bulls failed to reach the NCAA Tournament.[2]
T. Logan Fleck Era (1994 - 1996)
In three seasons, Fleck compiled a record of 34-17-0. In 1994, while still in the Metro Conference, The Bulls were 9-7-0 overall, and 3-2 in conference. They moved to Conference USA in 1995, and went 8-6-0 overall, and 5-3-0 in conference play. In 1996, Fleck's final season, The Bulls won the Conference USA title, and re-appeared in the NCAA Tournament.[3]
Dan Christinsen Era (1997)
Christiansen went 14-8-2 overall, and 5-1-2 in conference, as the team was named Conference USA Co-Champions.[4] Christiansen took the team deep into NCAA Tournament, their best result up to that point, as they made it all the way to the Elite 8 (which at that time was considered the third round, as there were only 32 teams in the tournament).
John Hackworth Era (1998 - 2001)
In 1998, under Coach Hackworth, the Bulls won at least a piece of the conference championship for a third straight year. The team also appeared in the NCAA tournament for the third year in a row. Hackworth compiled a record of 47-32-2 overall, and 20-13-1 in conference in four seasons.[5]
George Kiefer Era (2002 - Present)
In 2002, George Keifer took over as coach. In 2004, the Bulls jumped from Conference USA to the Big East, and in 2013 the Big East transitioned to the American Athletic Conference. The Bulls won the inaugural American Conference Tournament in 2013. Under Coach Keifer, the Bulls found themselves in seven straight NCAA Tournaments (2007-2013), twice making it to the Elite 8. Keifer currently has a record of 151-77-47.

Rivalries
The Bulls annually face the crosstown University of Tampa Spartans, an NCAA Div II school, in the preseason Rowdies Cup, which celebrates the city's rich soccer history. In addition to holding the match trophy for the next 12 months, the winners also get to hoist the actual 1975 Soccer Bowl trophy, which was won by the original Tampa Bay Rowdies. Formerly called the Mayor's Cup until 2005, as of the 2015 edition, USF holds 18–9–3 edge in the all-time series which dates back to 1972.[7][8][9]
