So what was different that Skip could win in the USFL and not Conference USA?

The stakes.

Because J'Mar sat on the bench for the second half, or for most of it if not all.

because of injury. They were up when he went out.

Skip won in CUSA but didn’t dominate like he did in the USFL.

I don’t think he ever had THE best team in CUSA. J’Mar’s senior season was probably our best chance to have THE best team. Holtz/J’Mar were 10-0 that year with the win over Miami in the Indy Bowl. Weedgate doomed that season.

2014 might have had a shot against Marshall at full strength. You'd think 5 starters would be worth 3 points (but that team also lost to NWST and ODU).

In 2019, it's possible we'd have won both regular conference games and then the championship with J'Mar (you'd have to think he'd have been worth 7 against UAB so even if we still lost to Marshall, we'd have made the title game). FAU had a good season though, so that could have gone either way. They crushed UAB.

2015 might have been better than 2014. I have no idea what happened to that team against USM. I guess they had a good year that year, too.

2016 was a fun team with Higgins lighting everybody up. Tech just wasn’t good enough in the championship game to win at WKU. They did beat them in Ruston earlier in the year though.

All the games were played in Birmingham so the Stallions were the only team with home games.

According to Skip on the Morning Drive, he MADE the LaTech football program. The bar he set for the first 100 yrs vs the years he coached?... Bowl games. He is such a turd!
