Fire Holtz

[markay714]

Perhaps we need to keep THIS in mind when we hire the next coach. He continued on to say something about USC needing to hire a "grown up" next time.

Can we NOT hire the son of a coach next time when we fix this?

At least we didn't hire Monken. Sheesssh. 60-7 ?

[The Historian]

Schedule is not as favorable in 2014...

If he has less than 6 wins combined at the end of next year he will not be given a 3rd year

If its me calling the shots I sell one more home game and buy him out at the end of the year and cut our losses in the stands and in the hip pocket

Hire a young and hungry guy who wants to make a name for himself and give him the keys and let him go -

Who cares if we are a stepping stone and we are hiring a new coach every three years?

Its about winning ballgames - asmany as possible every year

For those of you who are thinking this won't happen, keep in mind that's it's happened before at Tech. In the past 40 years, we have fired two coaches before the end of their first season - one publicly and one privately. In each instance, one booster made the decision the program wasn't going in the right direction and made the decision to write the checks necessary the make the changes. It doesn't mean it will happen but it can happen.

And thank God Sonny Dykes is gone. 55-16? There are a bunch of bad coaches out there. At least we aren't getting blown out?

Lane Kiffin has been fired by USC. So, that means after Skippy is gone, guess who will hire another son of a famous coach!

[oletimer]

I feel really bad for the USC program as well. I think we all should help out a fellow losing program in their search for a new coach. How about we all send an email referencing our choice to replace Lame Kiffin to their A.D.? I know a coach in Ruston who'd fit in great at USC!

I am very close to jumping on the fire Holtz bandwagon. I am seeing 3 things that are really bugging me:

1. The lack of emotion and intensity from the coaches and the players. The coachs don't yell at the players for there screw ups and the players do not know what it takes to win. The players and the coaches make excuses for everything that goes wrong when it is lack of being prepared and players being lazy. Dixon looks like the only guy that gives a shit.

2. Tech needs a coach with some balls. Skip is way to conservative. 4 and 2 from the 50 first drive we punt. Why not go for it and get your team excited. The kids need to get excited and Hotlz is killing them with his lack of faith. uke:uke:

3. The lack of any consistency. This may come with playing young players but they should know their job. Do we practice blitz pickup? Did the D even practice the triple option? Safeties 10 yards off the ball every play when they are responsible for the pitchman. I don't think the coaches even game plan for a opponent.

I think I'm actually on the fire bandwagon but I want to give him a chance.

As I said in another thread, the worst decision Skip ever made was taking the USF job. The way we view FAU and FIU is the way everyone else views USF/UCF. They are only considered for major conferences because of their media markets and everyone else in the conference who wants to recruit in Florida. The Big East schools WANTED to play in Florida to recruit -- to beat USF year after year and pipeline the kids to the northeast. Not because they thought USF would be competitive -- but rather, because the school is a joke. You think star recruits want to go to USF? Try every SEC & ACC school first and then maybe USF or UCF.

What are you smoking. USF was a ranked program at times and had wins over WVU and Auburn, FSU...
Holtz has left our program a pile of turds on fire. He will do the same to your program.

If your prior coach was a decent recruiter this will be his best year and as he brings in more of his players the team will get softer.

Oh and BTW punting with 7 min left in the game is classic Skip lol

Glad we got rid of that bum.

At least we didn't hire Monken. Sheesssh. 60-7 ?

you might save that for when we actually play Southern Miss, we haven't played anyone as good as Boise and we might be just what the doctor ordered to get Southern Miss off of the 0 win list.

[taeemwar]

Not a big fan of Holtz but Sonny left this team short on talent. Next year will be even worse.

[Gladzilla]

The whole Skip Holtz is a buddy buddy coach just irritates me. Come on yell at someone scare them.

[RougeDawg]

Willie Fritz was my first choice....all he does is win enough to play for National Championships.

What is his dad's occupation. As long as it is anything but coaching(in any form), you get my support.

This would get my vote. We couldn't beat some high school teams out there. We are very very bad!

[Geaux Dawgs]

This is the easiest schedule we have had since becoming D-1A, FBS, whatever.........and we are getting pounded on by bad teams.

Our second team last year would have gone 7-5 or better with this schedule. Kansas sucks, bad. Tulane sucks, Army sucks...........There is NO JUSTIFICATION for the lack of intensity, lack of preparedness, and the lack of execution we are showing. We need to be honest with ourselves, what good recruit would want to hop on this train wreck???? While stepping on toes, I will go one further.......what has Juluke given us?? The 3 star TE from Karr is committed to USL..... We say we want TE's, he apparently is a good one.........going to USL. USL has passed right by us in just about every area in a football program, Ray Charles can see that!!!

The question is, do we allow Skippy a chance to right the ship or do we cut our HUGE loss and start over?? I do not want a new coach to have to come in and need 3 years to fix this debacle.
