If Holtz does not make changes in this staff he is saying that what we saw this year is as good as we can do. Also, look for Blake Baker to be hired away soon and for Holtz to become more involved in the defense again.


We need a REAL Offensive Coordinator (OC). I've said this for 2 years. Todd Fitch was unsuccessful as an offensive coordinator at Boston College and at USF before coming to LA Tech. I was shocked that we even hired Fitch. Fitch’s offense at Boston College was ranked # 125 out of 127 FBS schools in 2015. Does that sound like someone we should have hired?

I think Holtz hired Fitch simply because they were old friends. Fitch was so bad as OC, Boston College head coach Steve Addazio announced in mid-January 2016 that he had already hired Scott Loeffler as his new OC, effectively demoting Fitch back to receiver’s coach. Three weeks later, Fitch headed to LA Tech as OC for Holtz. Here are a couple of links to the Fitch story and stats:

This year, Louisiana Tech's offense was ranked # 89 (out of 129 FBS schools). That's not good enough.

Like many of you, I’ve heard rumors that Fitch --despite his OC title here at Tech-- doesn’t really call the plays, and that Holtz does. Well, it's time to quit “winging it”. offensively. Why can’t we do it like the big boys? LA Tech deserves a FULL-TIME OC that calls our plays, just like the big boys do. Please hire us a real OC now.
