Fire Holtz

[T1]

So back and read his game recaps from USF...

Losers find ways to lose and winners find ways to win -

I'm not going to do that. I know what you mean though. But you have to admit those fumbles against Kansas were not the coaches fault. King dropping the TD pass vs Tulane? We've got make plays when the coaches put us in position to do it. If he lost at USF due to similar mistakes, maybe he is just snakebit.

I feel the 2nd one was in part -

Coming off TO inside in the 10 , last 2 minutes of game -

The first thing you emphasize is ball security first and foremost

[Dawgpix]

Sooner is irreverent. Madddawg is delusional. I am the good looking one and Cartek is not very politically correct. Who else u talking about?

I'm the Smart(ass) (very)!

You are being way too hard on the guy. It seems personal.

Nope not personal -

He sold the committee on his EXPERIENCE and MATURITY as a former HC who has been there and done that before and that was his strong point -

There would be NO learning curve under his leadership and that has NOT been the case - in a lot of situations he has the deer in the headlights look and seems clueless in clock in game management

Well coached teams don't continue to make stupid and costly mistakes

Yes. One or two stupid mistakes is on the players. Multiple, continual stupid mistakes over the course of half a season are on the coaches.

This entire protection of Skip seems personal to you. Are you Lou or what?

This entire protection of Skip seems personal to you. Are you Lou or what?

No. The jury is still out with me. I'm just not willing to blame mistakes by inexperienced players on a coach that has proven he can win our conference and run him out of town before he gets a chance to play with a more experienced team. I think it is irrational to say he's a loser and that's why the players are playing poorly.

[JuBru]

Take a look back before last year and the year before that and even go back a few years before that, when have we ever beaten two teams that were BCS teams in the same year before last year?

1997.

DGM wants tech football to know its place. That's clear. In his opinion, that place is firmly below our FLAGSHIP WBB program.

Holtz gives me the impression he feels the same (minus the WBB part).

[BLUEbell]

I am thrilled Swarner is on here!! Someone who actually KNOWS what he is talking about!

Can we hide this thread? It serves no purpose other than showing how short sighted many of us are. Rather than go into a long post detailing why our team is 2-4, and being perceived as a Skip Holtz apologist, I'd rather focus on a more important stat/fact.....we are 1-1 in conference play, and still have puncher's chance at the division/conference. NC St., Lamar, Army, and Kansas have nothing to do with a conference championship. Isn't this the goal? Its not how you start, but how you finish. This team was very young and inexperienced at the start of the season. We need to get behind them and support them while they're figuring out their identity throughout this season. And to echo cscollis' point, we are in game seven of a three season process, like it or not, that's how long it takes (see Dooley's and SD's previous tenure). Knee jerk threads like this one do nothing positive for the program.....Go get 'em coach!!

I agree. To the PIT!

[TYLERTECHSAS]

A good job by the coaching staff is utilizing the WHOLE team. Blake Martin had a break-out game (similar to HLee at Idaho). Young stepped in and kept things flowing. Guillot went out with the concussion and his playmaking was missed. Tevin King was his absolutely afterburner fast on that second Tech play from scrimmage. A cut right instead of cut left would have been 6. Instead, we got to see Guillot make his play at the goal.

Yes, this 2013 TEAM is finally gelling, coming together and responding much better.

Amen!
