Actually Kirby Smart would of been a more accurate comparison for HCSHOriginally Posted by Bulldog Tom
Deion compared himself to Nick Saban at the SWAC media day. Too bad we don't have those anymore. Skip could have comparedhimself to Dabo.

Dabo's predecessor, Tommy Bowden, is the best comparison. 10 seasons, never had a losing season, never won the conference. Son of a successful football coach, never reached the heights of the father.
We had our local Louisiana Tech "Bulldog Blitz" meeting last night with the LA Tech AD & Head Coaches here in Dallas. During the Q&A session after Holtz's talk, I asked him --in front of a room full of people-- what HE THOUGHT LA Tech's chances are for winning a CUSA Championship this year? As expected, I never got a straight answer. I never heard, "well, if our new QB, RB and DB transfers work out well --and we avoid injuries-- I'd say we've got a good shot to win the CUSA West and make it to the Championship Title game."
Nope. Never heard that from Skip.
I swear, 3rd and 4th graders who are sent to their principals' office for disciplinary reasons don't look and sound as nervous as Skip did during his answer. I've talked to a lot of coaches in my lifetime, and I've never heard such a line of dancing crap as what Skip spewed. It was a long, and winding, and non-sensical answer. Politics at its best. Again, Skip threw that "we want to compete" line out for everything. My response: We were competing before he got here. But it's important to Skip "that we compete", etc... To me, he just sounded shady, and non-committal. I've decided that if Skip ever wins a CUSA Title at LA Tech, it will probably be because he backed into it accidentally (injuries to other teams, etc..).
I was impressed with Konkol, Burroughs and Brooke. I do feel like our Men's basketball and baseball programs are much closer to CUSA titles than our football program is. Just my thoughts.
Wanting our guys to "compete" is a no brainer. It is a very vanilla answer. He could of said we got the peices in place to be a dangerous team and win the division at least.
Exactly. All the other coaches did talk that way, and spoke of how important it is for their team to win a CUSA Championship. Burroughs was the most outspoken, saying it's on his mind all the time to win a CUSA title. I really don't think it's on Holtz's radar at all.
I agree - and I have open espoused that for the last 3 years....

At this point, unless our President and AD encourage tailgating, We’ll be staying home for the 3rd year in a row
Seems like you’ve forgotten one of Lou’s distinguishing characteristics.
No Lou intentionally poor-mouthed to the point where he wanted you to believe that the Holy Sisters of the Blind Poor Children were going to beat you by 5 touchdowns in an humorous home-spun way
Skip gives the classic deer in headlights approach unless he is ticked, then he stammers
''Don't be a bad dagh..."
Dead on. In the same week Deion Sanders compared himself to Saban, someone compares Skip to Lou. What is going on?
I once worked with a ND guy who played in the national championship game and the catholics vs. convicts game. We talked all kinds of Notre Dame football. I once asked him about Lou's media talking. He said there are basically two Lous and that I (meaning me) have only seen one. But his best story was the fight story.
