    That's what I'm talkin bout! Love a kid that has that much respect for his mom. Shows that he was raised right and that'll translate to the next level.

    Sounds like he's a solid commitment on staying committed to Tech. . . sorta like Beast Mode out of southern Arkansas when Tech recruited him from Strong.

    Interesting watching the twitter verse last night after Isabella's column on this commitment...

    Some of the juco hacks took great offense to what the kid had to say about that local school
    ''Don't be a bad dagh..."

    Wow, they should be pissed. The kid said ULM doesn't recruit locally and he was disappointed about that. Then the Wossman coach piled on to talk about how great Tech recruits locally. Berry's seat should be hot over that.

    The one thing I truly like about Skip (admire) since the day he stepped on campus is his ability to make the local kids and their families feel wanted and desired...

    He gives them the Elite treatment -

    You can argue (and I did) that he wasn't the absolute best fit when hired for tactical reasons, but one important thing he seems to get very well is the idea of the Tech family. You see that word in a lot of these recruiting stories. And it's paying off big.

    I'm very comfortable saying homerun hire now. We needed someone who could rebuild a program quickly, recruit HS kids, and play for championships. We got all three pretty quickly with Holtz. His embracing the Tech family and attracting big time assistant coaches on peanut salaries have been bonuses, but I still wouldn't be surprised if this is his final year at Tech and he will leave it much better off than he found it.

    I was skeptical initially as well, but Skippy has won me over. I expect him to stay one more year at least. He's in his comfort zone at a mid-major and he is on the cusp of potentially transforming/elevating our school to a whole new level. We will see new and first time supporters like we have never seen before if this 2015 season goes as well as anticipated. The attendance at the spring game despite the weather is an indicator to the level of enthusiasm that Skippy has infused into the program.

    I don't think Skip is going to bail on us.

    If Dykes fails at Cal this year - I don't think any P5 school would hire Skip away from Tech.

    Just my opinion== Skip is the total package, offense-defence and building program the right way. He has never done anthing to embarass program --we all knew our previous coaches were looking to leave ASAP but at least Skip goes out of his way to be one of us

    Skip's past and Dykes'/Dooley's pasts are night and day.
