Ladies and Gentlemen:
We got him.

Just in time. There is now hope for the future, IF Tech won’t promote Holtz’s son to head coach or make some other crony move like that.

Now now.
There will be plenty of time to blast the bad hire when it happens. For now, let's enjoy the moment.

Y'all happy now? There's a very good chance this backfires tremendously

There’s always risk in making change and the status quo feels safe. I think the status quo would have crippled our athletic dept. A change was the right risk to take. Good job Dr. Wood!

Wish him well, but this needed to happen. Hope we find a great young coach that somebody is wanting to get to be their coach soon!

Yep. Happy. Backfire you say......how can an already backfiring, dying engine backfire any more than it already is? Skip is a great guy, but the game has passed him by. I wish him the very best.

Chance of a backfire decreases from almost 100% certainty to something significantly less than that.

How? We don’t win championships with the new guy? Or we go 6-6 every year and go to the same bowls as if we were 8-4 or 9-3?

The average [Louisiana Tech administrator] does not want to be free, he merely wants to be safe.

So, a mutual parting….what are the implications financially?

With it being mutual, my guess is we don’t really have to pay him anything, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they gave him some kind of parting gift.
