The team played like it didn’t care and the game didn’t matter.

Of course, back then LA Tech had an administration with balls, and they fired Beightol before the last game of that season.Quote:

Proof is 4 straight "everybody goes bowling" bowl appearances. Also, it's delusional to expect to win a CUSA Championship every 5 years.
Just think of what Skippy's record would have been if he had to coach against the schedule Peace, Crowton, Bicknell or Dooley had to coach against. We might have had an 0-fer season along the way. People give way to much credit for making a shitty bowl game nowadays. A freaking 6-6 record gets you a bowl game. Some P5's get a game with a 5-7 record.Quote:

We’re just little old Tech and shouldn’t expect too much....budgets,enrollments,...name the excuse...Quote:

He follows the Dogs and goes to the games (walks there and when he can catch a ride if it's bad weather.) His main conclusion among many, was that HCSH has to delegate more and trust his staff. Trust in his staff is like trusting himself. Failure to do so is an indication he doesn't believe in what he has built. HCSH lacks confidence in his program. His players and staff sense that in him.
Stunning. A guy who is hanging out at the E-Z Mart and walks to Tech and Grambling games made about as much sense as anyone in analyzing our football program.
I gave the guy ten dollars because he is a little down on his luck right now. Our AD should take the five minute drive to the south side of town and hire him as a consultant.
Well, how much of his staff did Holtz bring vs what did he inherit or people encouraged him to hire?
This is Holtz's 6th season. He didn't bring, inherit or was encouraged by anyone to hire anyone. This is his staff, he hired them. He is responsible for their job performance. Perhaps he should stop by the E-Z Mart and talk to Mr. Smith and get his opinion. Buy a coke at the fountain and a bag of porkskins while he consults with him.Quote:
