    Thank You Skip--since1990 4 out of 8 bowls were with Holtz and about to be 5 out of 9

    Dumbass thread wants to fire Holtz ( not to worry because they handful of posters who always post negative ) -- and run off many a BBB reader

    here is reality 1990 we played in the beloved I Bowl -JRP w/l 43/52 47% w/l
    2001 (11 YEARS LATER ) HUMANITARIAN BOWL -JB 45%
    2008 7 years later -- I Bowl again -- Dooly 17/20 45% 17/20 bailed asap
    2011 3 years later Poinsetta Bowl Dykes 22/15 59 % bailed asap

    Crowton won 61% and had us in top 20= personally loved what he did for us but ignored by bowls


    Holtz currently 39/22 58% 2014-Heart Dallas Bowl 2015 New Orleans Bowl 2016 Bowl 2017 Frisco bow

    that's 4/8 bowls since 1990 ( did I mention we won all of them)

    his first yr signed recruits included (2013) --Xavier Woods Trent Taylor -Carlos Henderson ( Dykes had a lot with recruiting before he bailed)

    Well, as usual stats are flawed. Holtz inherited a lot better situation from the Dooley and Dykes era's than JRP, Crowton, or Bicknell had. Put Holtz in JRP's position and let's talk.... Some might even say Crowton won with JRP's recruits. Winning is a process, it takes time...Holtz has peaked, is it a tall enough peak for La Tech fans and alumni?

    A peak? More like a molehill.

    I think a better analysis would also include how many bowls were being played in those respective years as opposed to today. Take the 1997 team. They finished 9-2, with a win over Alabama and Cal....and didn’t make a bowl.

    We finished 8-3 for 1990 Independence Bowl. Several Tech teams of the past would have made bowls in todays climate....One of our best teams in the last 10 years stayed home too.

    1990 had 19 bowl games.
    2001 had 21 bowl games.
    2008 had 34 bowl games.
    2018 has 40 bowl games.

    I'm proud that we've won 4 in a row but they mean less as every year goes by. Players are now sitting out bowls.

    I don't hate Holtz and don't necessarily want to see him fired. But what I do want to see is someone else calling plays on offense.

    The most successful 4 year stretch in football since we moved up in 88'.

    1 conference loss at the mid-point of the season with 5 more conference games to be played, not ready to throw in the towel yet.

    There have been only 39 FBS bowl games the last two years. Don't let ESPN confuse you by including either the Celebration Bowl (FCS HBCU conferences) or the CFP final as bowl #40.

    The Holtz seat is only warm in my view because of WINNING (not just showing up for) four bowls in a row. But the 2018 Holtz egg was already laid two weeks ago. Another game like that and his seat should become hot.
