This!
Dwayne knows Skip's history, clearly!
For good or ill, that's Skip's coaching philosophy.

Re: Fire Holtz

Curious as to your opinion on what the record would be with Dykes still at the helm? I think we almost certainly beat Tulane and Kansas but I am not confident we would have defeated Army. So would everyone be relatively happy if we were 3-2?

Probably be more at ease...

Heading into conference we would probably be fairly confident we could pick up 3 to 4 more wins and be bowl eligible at 6-6 or 7-5 in a total rebuilding year

We also know we would of scored more than 16 pts against Army and anything can happen in a shoot-out

Re: Fire Holtz

May have been able to keep Dykes if we would have coughed up another million per year (and perhaps a retention bonus of something north of $500k).

Re: Fire Holtz

I do not believe Tulane, Kansas or Army would have stayed on the field with us if Dykes were here. There is no way our offense would be so inept, and our defense has improved (I think).

I don't think that's what his question was about -

^^^This!!! Great post. We could have hired just about ANYBODY and not expect to start winning for 3 or 4 years. What's so special about that? We hired Holtz because he supposed to be such a hot shot. Holtz sold himself as a "GOOD coach" to LA Tech. I ain't seeing it. As my dad would say, "he ain't even pretty good".

A word to the enablers: People like you impede change... If you want to enable this crap by acting like it's just a down year, go right ahead; it's a free country. Therefore, you're totally free to be as ignorant as you want, but don't act like you're doing our football program any favors by saying, "everything is going to be alright," when things are about as bad as they can be.

When schools like Kan-suckass are ending their 2 year losing streak with a win from LA Tech, I have a huge problem with that. If you love Louisiana Tech football then you should have a problem with that too. Furthermore, if you have a problem with what's happening but you're acting like it's fine, I hope you enjoy having your choice of seating at the games. People will stop coming.

Good post, Cory.

No. Have you seen what his assistants are making at Cal? Dykes and Franklin are partners. Dykes doesn't do anthing w/out checking with Franklin first. We never had a chance of keeping Dykes or Franklin even after we let them sucker us out of the raise he got before the Poinsettia Bowl.

Re: Fire Holtz

If y'all remember correctly, Dykes / Franklin only had 1 season with a good offense (last year).

Dykes was down 41-0 at half Sat. Multiply the discontent at Cal.

The System would've kicked in sooner had the players executed properly.

Everyone knows that ....

There IS some truth to that. I don't think this group would have executed it properly.

Re: Fire Holtz

Yes, winning was definately secondary to showcasing "The System".
