Here’s another guy that keeps getting jobs... https://www.giants.com/team/coaches-roster/derek-dooley
After Skip destroyed the USF football program his resume should have read exactly like Bicknell's. Bouncing around in different position and assistant position coaching jobs. There was reason to hire him, except he would come cheap.Quote:

He had strengths and weaknesses like any coach. I think some of those didn't line up really well to win at Tech during that time period in particular.
Say what you will about Bick, but if he would have had the support and schedule that Holtz has enjoyed, things might very well have turned out differently for him.
We’d better enjoy this again because it’s very very very unlikely to be repeated in 2020.

What a difference a year makes that shouldn’t be that way.
Henderson had more yards on that one run than he’s had all season combined.Quote:

His losing seasons or what stood out. When he lost he lost bigQuote:

Fixed it. I was so focused on adding the roadrunner jpg that I forgot to edit the tv info.Quote:

I don't think Dooley was the medium for anything. He was pretty extreme in pushing football forward. He was just a MUCH better AD than coach.Quote:
