    I have always hoped his career goal is to stay with Tech and lead us where we all want Tech to be.

In any case, it need to be clear to him that if he doesn't produce an offense that will get the fans to the games and win, then his job is in question - no matter how many bowls we win. SD needs to see the urgency of this situation. I LOVE that our defense is playing so well, but we are losing our casual fan base in big chunks right now due to an unexciting product on the field. Ultimately, this needs to come from our President down to the AD down to the HC and down from there. Each person under Dr. Guice needs to be held accountable and make something happen quickly or that person's job is on the line. That is the only way this will work.
    I have always found an outstanding defense to be as exciting as an outstanding offense. It would be nice to have both.

    Yes, but our defense isn't a big problem right now. I do agree with you, though; although exciting offenses usually get more butts in the seats.

Holtz was asked why he didn't allow it more by Nick Brown and Aaron Dietrich. Both times he said he didn't want to risk turnovers.

    So there we have it. Turnovers are bad. Losing games is acceptable.
    Ole Hud dumbed down his offense and was fired by ull. He publicly stated he was trying to avoid turnovers

    I understand that many folks want immediate gratification. The possibilities exist that either Baker didn't have the players earlier or required to better learn the job as he matured as a coordinator.

    Of course, people want immediate gratification. Duh! For God's sake, Baker didn't join a football team that was 0-12. Baker became DC when LA Tech was winning 9 games a year. Why wouldn't fans expect immediate gratification? Our defense performed very well under Manny Diaz in 2014. I guess if you were a ULM fan, you wouldn't "want immediate gratification".

    To your point, this was Bakers 4th season as LA Tech's DC. He finally succeeded in a big way, and everyone is happy for him. Fans were happy with his defense. So THAT'S the answer to your really......how do I say this nicely.....not so smart question above.

    I concede that the defense finished pretty good but I also remember all those times when we had several teams stymied with 3 and long like 10 yards or more and game up drive extending first downs that either led to scores agayus or gave up important field position. I can’t accept rushing 3 as was often the case in those situations. If it wasn’t the lack of pressure on the QB that did us in it was escaping running QBs that did. Once again I’m not sure if it was Baker’s play it safe and hope for the best strategy that failed the situation or if it was by Holtz’s direction. The thing is if Tech hopes to have a good and even improved defense in 2019 I hope they change this particular approach.

    Yep, so is our best receiver who missed the bus to Longview.

    No word yet on why our All State Senior OLine guy was a no show in Hawaii. Was he busy with our S&C coach getting ready for the NFL?

    Yep. Link went to Appy St. He needed to go. Our Special Teams struggled again in the Hawaii Bowl. We gave up another blocked punt, and a long kick return which almost turned into a TD for Hawaii. Dyer did have 2 good punts inside the UH 10-yd line, but he also shanked one.

    Our HC will never be up front with his fan base. We are unworthy...
