Do you think Dykes would need a Hail Mary to beat Cumbie? 😂. Holtz wasn’t great but he at least kept most games close and put Tech in conference championship games. It’s a downgrade for sure.

Why do adults want to pay for an athlete? That’s insanity.
At least the coach can’t say “We competed.” 😂
What is a “Jax State?” FCS?
Crowton, Dykes, and Holtz
Holtz is like Tech’s Jeff Bower… always respectable, but never dominant. 2nd and 3rd place gets boring after a while.
It’s not like the guys he hired were big fish. Maybe get some retreads or recently fired from P5 job coaches? It can’t get worse.
Wow, Tech sucks! If they don’t fire Cumbie they should at least force him to hire all new assistants.
True, but especially if the defense is going to be the worst defense in the nation again. I can’t believe that guy wasn’t replaced. They must think it was a talent issue.
My takeaway is that Sonny showed the blueprint for having a really good team at Tech: recruit mostly transfers and JUCOs. He handed over a depleted team to Holtz because of this though.
Holtz...
You originally said “competitive,” not “elite.”
That doesn’t seem fair. Tech’s been to 7 bowl games in the past 9 years and played in 2 conference championship games.
That’s what I think too. The team was very talented. The QB getting hurt didn’t help either though.
Cumbie brought in a bunch of transfers to fill the needs. QB has been decent. It’s hard to tell if the bad defense is due to talent or scheme. At times they do very well, but then give up a huge...
There was no indication the program was in shambles last year. Tech nearly beat Miss St, SMU, and NC State. The gripe was that they would have if there was a competent coach who didn’t blow it in...
I went to the UNT game and it was glaring that Tech “looked” like the bigger, more athletic team. I pointed it out to my son and he agreed. UTSA most be impressive.
What is that something?
Hard to believe Holtz almost beat Sonny Dykes and Mike Leach with this kind of team.
Probably not, but this guy doesn’t seem prepared for the job.
Still thinking a coaching change is needed, at least at DC. These guys were not 1 star recruits but they are hardly stopping any play by any team.
2013 was an awful team. All it took to get to...
New OL coach, new DC, new ST coach.
2016 offense was as fun as the 2012 offense. Didn’t help. I think this generation just isn’t interested in going to games.
Holtz got really close.
Not so sure about that. What was it, 6 bowl wins in a row and 2 conference championship games under Holtz? Attendance went down from that. Tech fans are all about “a fun team to watch,” which I...
First game I’ve been to since the Ft Worth Bowl game win over Navy. Nowhere close to that level anymore.
If you cannot run the ball and cannot stop the run, you are not going to win. It looked...
