Jmar got progressively worse for his years under Holtz coaching until he was finally so sorry that he smoked his team off. I think in the case of Anthony, Skip has scared him into not throwing or running for fear of a turnover or injury. Just like he did with JMar. Meanwhile Allen isn’t the starter because he’s worth at least 1 TO per outing.
Holtz is incapable of developing 2 QBs at once. I don’t know why, he just can’t do it. It may have to do with his over-coaching.
On the whole Holtz coaches hoping the other team loses. Even Tech could beat their opponent badly he doesn’t do it. When the coach sets the standard of ‘we’re only going to play and execute enough to barely win’ then that’s what the team is going to do. If they ever dare play better than that, Holtz sabotages their effort with his ‘calling a truce’ play calling.
Tech football is past its prime under Holtz, we’re getting progressively worse and we never, ever, ever over achieve in a significant way. We don’t even try to. Don’t think for a moment that the players don’t know this. If we can see it on the field then they can feel it in practice and in the games.
Each year our talent is getting less and less. Each year our coaching is getting worse and worse. It’s a formula for long lasting disaster.
Tech should be at least #2 in the state in every sport but we’re not. Maybe we have a chance to change this with Wood in charge, but he’s going to have to be great at his job to do it. The problem is that Tech complacency stands against him. We’d rather not hurt people’s feelings than excel.
