Not really. It's all just talk.
It's certainly talk that I enjoy because it helps me cope with how bad we suck - I know that I'm not the only one who thinks this way.
But end of the day, there's no real discussion about any sort of change. Unless Dr Wood can work some kind of contract magic.

"10/22 -After breaking down the efficiency and impact from the running game from the past couple of weeks, Head Coach Skip Holtz determined that’s time to get senior Israel Tucker more involved in the offense."
in 6 second half possessions, Tucker had 4 carries for 4 yards.
You can google it. There was a nice , big article (right after USM game) by someone about how Grubbs made it all the way up the depth chart. One part was Fulp, a kid from McNeese or Nicholls, not getting a waiver to play. Grubbs wasn't projeced to be on the travel squad for USM but instead was the starter and leading tackler. Grubbs loves it here, at least at that time he did. Very positive, high energy kid. His attitude is fantastic. Seems like he comes from a great family from what I gather on here.
if you take out the second half stats, Tucker had 15 carries for 66 yards, averaging 4.4 yards per carry. Anything over a 4 yard average means your run game is working. If you look at our 2nd half possessions, we ran on 1st down and got stuffed then immediately went to throwing the ball despite the fact that Anthony was clearly ineffective. That resulted in a bunch of three and outs. The only drive where we picked up a first down with Anthony under center the plays were run, pass complete, run for first down. Then we went pass, pass, pass (complete, sack, incomplete) and punted. When you're winning, you do what's working for you, but we called 6 runs and 11 passes until the final drive (all passes and we had to throw.) We scored 0 points in the 2nd half and continually did things to put the ball in the hands of the least effective players, Anthony and Barnes. This loss is squarely on coaching.
And then depression set in......
This team might be worse than the 2013 squad. That’s saying a lot because Tech sucked something awful that year (lost to a horrible Kansas team). This is one of the worst teams Tech has fielded over the past decade. Yeah...you can blame COVID, but the other teams are going through the same thing so that’s no excuse. Barely scraping by a crappy UTEP team and then letting UTSA beat them from behind. I’m not going to call any one person out, but it’s shameful.... They should all feel embarrassed. I sure as hell am.

The 2013 team was not as bad as their record. They were as bad as their coach. This one is too.
