Holtz success has to be viewed in light of the strength (or weakness) of our current conference. As dawg80 said, Holtz pads his wins by beating terrible teams and generally fails to win when it counts.

He’s consistently failed to win a championship through poor control of his team (academic issues, team rule infractions, etc.).

Apathy is at an all time high BECAUSE Holtz fails to deliver anything other than bowl wins in low profile bowl games.
