He may have the most wins but he will leave Ruston with zero (0) conference championships.
2 conference championships in 18 years as a head coach, none at Tech even though he has had NFL caliber talent in a mostly mediocre conference. 2-3 WTF losses every year. Ignore the facts if you wish, but those are the facts.
Comparing Holtz record to Crowton, Bicknell, or Dykes is like comparing apples to oranges. Holtz’s schedules have been much easier due to conference affiliation.
Spectacular?!?!?!
Now that he's completed five years at Tech, how many of his teams have :
"over achieved"?....
"under achieved"?....
"finished the season where they should have"?
(hint: when your seniors flunk off the team before the championship game or bowl game, that's classic under achieving!)
Holtz has been a good stabilizer since coming to Tech, but I dare say he’s overachieved. The very fact that he’s had so much NFL talent in such a weak conference yet no conference championships can’t be overlooked. I hope Skip has continued success at Tech because I think he truly cares about the players. However, his tenure here hasn’t been all roses.
We beat who we should, mostly. We're sub 500 against teams we *could beat. Not what I'm looking for in a conference as shitty as this.
That said, he's done ok. Passing grade through the first 5 years, but now it's all on him since these are all his recruits. If he's that good, next year will either prove it or prove he's not our guy.
JMar didn't have to be another Higgins or Sokol or Driskel, he just needed to be decent. The fact that he was so far away from that is why I am skeptical of SH's future leadership of the program.
His career has been mediocre at best, especially here at Tech in an age where there are bowl bids handed out like Oprah gives away cars...
I'm sorry, but NO conference championships with the talent that has rolled threw here under his watch is a big disappointment
It's common knowledge his wife wants out of Ruston, so I don't think his tenure is much longer here
Is that good or bad, I don't know but I think we will be ok either way and I would much rather him leave on his own accord than having to fire him
''Don't be a bad dagh..."
We can only hope she motivates him to win 2 championships so she can get out of Ruston, otherwise he will have to lose his way out and I don't want to go through that pain!
I think Coach Holtz has been good for the program here at LaTech, but if JMar is the QB next year, us fans should not expect any thing better than another possible 6-6!
I have to admit listening to the FAU game and to see what really good coaching can do for a team, has to make you think about Coach Holtz ability vrs. being a GOOD OLE BOY!
