I agree with several posts in this thread. The MOST telling reason why Skip needed to be replaced was Skip's reaction to being replaced. His default is to defend himself from criticism instead of challenging himself with criticism.

Have you considered those Dogs?
I'm so happy we moved on from Holtz and TMac. Having both here really hurt us in the long run.
Holtz - did enough to look good for TMac (no championship, but good enough for a low tier bowl)
TMac - wanted that one big game a year so he can have a nice photo of a packed house for Guice (show that he's doing well as AD), ie Northwestern, Southern, Miss State. He gives zero F's about overall attendance at any of our venues.
Agreed. Skip doesn't understand that when you point your finger elsewhere, there are three pointing back at you. I'm not convinced that he didn't seal his coffin for being a head coach at an upper tier school with the way he handled this. Just accept that in the HC world, this stuff happens.Originally Posted by boxerdog
He thought incorrectly that the 3 years left on his contract would allow him to skate by with that 6-14 record in his last 20 games. More importantly he was only 4-11 in the games Wood attended in person.
Agreed. Seemed incapable of self reflection and meaningful assumption of responsibility.
Bury this thread! Skip is gone and I hope to never hear anything again about him until of course Tech52 and thewyldman bloviate about how great of a mentor, leader, and coach he was!
That's an interesting factoid that I hadn't heard.
Eric Wood had to be thinking to himself, "What the hell is this guy doing coaching here"?
I really havent said anything like that, but sure, continue to act as though I have.
