Holtz let Dameron and Diaz call Defense.

I don't think he trusts Baker to call the defense which should probably concern us about what he thinks of Baker.

I think Baker is in over his head and Holtz is too nice to tell him that, but not too nice to treat him like a kid and call the plays for him.

I wish I could find the presser/interview Isabella did when he asked COYHCSH about the defensive woes and he replied that he was the HC and also in charge of the defense and that he knew what we needed to do on defense (slight paraphrase), but it was around week 4 or so.

He said our defense was a joke and Texas Tech was the worst defensive performance he's ever been a part of. The coaches told him "that's not what we coach." He said "the staff" is going to have to look at what we are doing on defense (I think that implied... him). He said too many Texas Tech players were open with no one within 20 yards of them. "Embarrassment." But then about 4 weeks later he joked that he was getting emails after Texas Tech to fire the defensive coaches (and look at us now). I guess he forgot how embarrassing that was.

PD continues to harp on Holtz saying he is in charge of the defense. Do you not think he was taking the bullet for one of his assistants and not throwing him under the bus? That's what good leaders do. They praise their subordinates when they do something well and shield them publicly when things are going bad. I don't think that Holtz is the greatest coach in college football (he's done a whole lot better than I expected), but I do thing he does a lot of little things well and seems like he'd be a solid guy to work for.

Never said COYHCSH was not. I'm sold on him for our program. I explained in another post saying my posts are directed at those whose solution is to simply fire the DC w/out passing some of the blame along to the guy who hired him and GAVE HIM A RAISE after year 1. I also listed legit excuses (lack of available talent) as to why we had a bad year.

Justin Wilcox to Cal could be official later today.

Interesting. Wilcox is defense oriented, so that is a huge change for Cal.

Word is Dykes is going to TCU in an undefined role. Also, TCU co-offensive coordinator resigned recently to become OC at Kansas. This could very easily be Sonny's new role.

We saw what he was this year w/out Franklin. Let's see how he does in the Big12 w/out him.

How was he without Franklin? His offense was #10 in America in total offense, and scored 37 points per game. Pretty good.

With no defense #10 offense won't cut it in the A5. It's also been proven many times over that his offense will not allow a defense to perform well. The only exception was 2011.

They don't play much d in the big 12.

He will be fine. The demotion should teach him to choose more carefully next time.

Well of course, but Franklin ain't coaching defense.

He still made good bank...

The article doesn't mention this, but Sonny D. was WR coach for Texas Tech while Sonny C. was QB there.
