East Carolina leap-frogged into the Top 25 this week showing up at #14. Skip Holtz took over East Carolina in late 2004 and started building the program. While the personality is different from Dooley, the methods and the work ethic is very much the same. Holtz has build a quality program the right way.
Skip's record at ECU is:
2005 5W - 6L (Conference 4 & 4)
2006 7W - 6L (Conterence 5 & 3)
2007 8W - 5L (Conference 6 & 2)
Louisiana Tech is on the right path. Does anyone doubt that not so long ago we'd probably be 0 & 2 at this point in the season? MSU was a good win. Yes, we lost at Kansas, but we didn't get annihilated or massacred, we failed to make plays and got beat.
We need to keep working on improving our fan support so we can afford the tools we need to help get the job done. Thankfully, we have an athletic administration that is trying to show us how to get it done.
