Our real record should be 4-8 after the season. Holtz finished his second year 5-7. Holtz had a few last second losses that year that didnt break his way, in which Strong had some last second wins break his way. They are two peas in a pod as far as coaching goes, and unless the staff is shaken up, we are in for a Holtz-like 3 win season next year under Strong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eerily similar...right down to the getting up a score and going right back to the vanilla, run the clock, conservative, play not to lose mentality. In my eyes it’s a generational thing with how they learned the game. Sorry to burst your bubble CCS and XCSH, but a two touchdown lead with an entire half to play doesn’t hold up in college football any more. Hell, it’s not holding up in the NFL either. You have to keep scoring and can never take your foot off the gas. Say what you will, but XCWT and XCJL both knew you had to step on someone’s throat and never let them up for air. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But those were certainly some especially fluky outcomes, more so given that they masked some painful deficiencies which would later show our pathetic staff for who they really are.

I really don’t want to see a Strong year 3 to see if he’s a Holtz 2.0 or not. He’s already kind of proven that he is. I want him gone and a full re-start.

There are some similarities, and I have no problem with the re-start idea. I would imagine that we will know shortly after the UCF game.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those Leavitt teams played better competition and never looked as unmotivated and sloppy as the Strong ones are now. Leavitt would own playing in the American. Also we have had a weak OOC schedule these last two years. Leavitt would have run the table here too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
