I know Diaz can do even more with more blue chip players on the right P5 roster, but his defense did show a tendancy to give up big plays from time to time. JMHO, but I think he will have 1 more year to rebuild his rep with us before moving on.

We will retain all three until bowl time next year when one graduates, one bolts for P5 and the other settles in for the next decade. Skip ain't going anywhere.
I told my dad today, if I was Skip, whatever my bonus was from winning the bowl, I'd hand it over to Diaz.
Dixon has to stay. Dancy said he was one of the reasons he's coming to Tech. I'd love to see those two on the field at the same time. We're going to be loaded at RB next year.
Holtz gets $25,000 for making it to a bowl. A conference title would have paid him another $25,000. There are also other incentives in his contract.Originally Posted by SicemDawgz

If the Price kid come threw or it just serviceable, we will win 8 games again.. QB and LB are gonna have to be decent, but of they are we are gonna kill some folks.
Man I sure hope we can keep Holtz for the next decade and would love to keep Diaz as well.
I am shocked Dixon isn't declaring. Even if he would be a late round draft pick, I thought he was gone. Dixon must want to win the the Heisman for himself and Tech. Glad I was wrong.
Holtz wants an contract extension, I'm am thinking it is more about job security than money. He does seem to really like ruston and with players he is recruiting he plans on staying for a few more years. I would give him a 2 year extension for around 650 to 750 a year with bonuses for bowl win ands championships. That would keep him through 2017.
Diaz is hard to figure out. If he agreed to stay 2 years when signed like some have reported, I think next year will be his last. I hope it isn't but the money Diaz could be making big money at a big school is too much for Tech to cover. I wish Tech could make him Co head coach and sign him for the next decade. Pay him just under what Holtz makes but I am not sure that would be enough. The flattering press and the legend of Diaz after 1 season make him a hot property. We can't worry about Diaz staying, like Dixon if we get another year just be thankful and enjoy it.
So happy to be a Dog this year, even with the NSU a loss.
You know, it's not out of the question that Manny unluckily finds himself in a UofTexas situation in the future and he becomes the fall guy again. In reality, he is still an unproven commodity at the P5 level.
Of course, I don't wish this on him, EVER. I wish him the best of luck, period. I just hope we leave the door WIDE open for him to come back if the situation arises. He's still a very young man.
He didn't.
Holtz is already under contract through the final game of 2017 (including a bowl game) at a base salary of $200,000 a year from the university and $300,000 a year from the Louisiana Tech University Foundation. There are also incentives for athletic and academic performance that cannot exceed $295,000 a year.
Holtz may want an extension beyond 2017. I'd say a raise is likely. The details of his contract from February 2013 begin on PDF Page 7 at the following link: http://www.ulsystem.edu/assets/docs/...mmittee000.PDF
Well the rumor sounds good and tops logic.
Logic says he will stay and not chase the money, but very few of our posters get it.
According to a January 2012 ESPN article, Diaz was making $625,000 a year at Texas. I have not been able to find anything about his contract at Tech, but it is certainly well below $625,000 a year. Oscar Giles was making $200,000 a year at Texas http://espn.go.com/college-football/...ract-extension
There hasn't been much talk about the other coaches, but I don't think we can count on OC Tony Petersen being with us long term.
If Holtz stays and continues to be successful, the salaries should rise across the board.
Putting money aside for a moment, is it better to be a big fish in a small pond, or a little fish in a big pond? How many other defensive coordinators get as much face time on TV during games as Diaz does and are described as being a rock star. I'm sure that would diminish over time, but for now, Diaz is the talk of the broadcasts.
If you've never read any Malcolm Gladwell before, get "Outliers". It's a fun read about how the successful approach is often counterintuitive. The big/little fish/pond is examined at length in the first few chapters.
