Holtz has run his course. He has done better than I expected but, this program is stuck in the mud.
So what is it gonna cost in $ to fire him and hire a coach that wants to win?

Probably more than we are willing to spend....
His buyout is around 2 million, thanks to Wonder Boy.
Tommy needs to go also. Clean house, top to bottom.
Most will remember the situation at USM a few years back when they hired a new coach who lost all games his first season. They were able to cover his buyout, over $2mil, by manipulating their schedule. They had Nebraska set as a home game but instead of playing it in Hattiesburg agreed to move it to Nebraska who paid them a cool two million which they used to send that coach on his way. I looked over our situation and cant see any arrangement we could make like that thus everyone needs to get accustomed to where we are at unless some donor or donors ponies up the money, we just dont have it.
Who arranged for Ms State last year? I know it was a two for one, but facts are facts. I guess it was Oakes that got Miami to Shreveport and the original Aggie game there. The highest ranked opponents we have played in Ruston have been from the old WAC -- Fresno State and maybe Hawaii. Being in a good conference helps. Except for the traveling the WAC was by far the best conference we have been in.
UCF fans warned us - we didn’t listen and now we are getting exactly what they said about holtz 6 years ago.
