7-5, 5-7, 3-9 ... the trend explains it all.
I got that, but did you dig deeper and get that a full half of those losses were by 1 score and more than 1 were on the last play?. I believe with the right DC, he'd still be here. And that an older, more established football program he'd probably have another season to try and turn it around. Why? because they understand the ups and downs of programs and that no coach is going to 'destroy' a program. 100 years of UConn football, he took them to the 1aa championships for the FIRST TIME. It wasn't year 1, or 3 or 4, it was year 5. Two of those were 4 win seasons.
Isn't it the head coaches job to build the staff? I would say you could argue that it could be the AD, but Cosh was one of Holtz's pals. I agree that our fan base is impatient because we have been lucky to have the growth and success we've had for such a young program, but at the same time, did Holtz show you anything last season to make you think he was going to turn it around anytime soon?
