I don't know what CJL did in that locker room...but he was the only coach who TRULY wanted to coach at the University of South Florida.

Pure record wise you are right, however context matters a LOT.  Holtz was in the Big East which was a tougher conference than the American.  I just pulled the SoS: 2010- 54th (8-5) 2011-49th

Stranger things have happened, we just have to stick to what has been working and try to grow on the successes.

Skippy is still the king but we're getting really close too breaking the record.

I agree. The reason it hurts so badly right now is because it's an old wound opening up again. Skip To My Lose is the one who caused the wound, but Charlie Chokleman has been picking at that wound so hard that it has opened up again, and he's not going to stop picking at it until someone puts oven mitts on his hands and sends him away

Holtz tanking the program came at the absolute worse time realignment-wise and we have never really recovered the fanbase. At the height of our most recent success with Flowers we still couldn't draw, embarrasingly enough. 

It will be TEN YEARS since we fired Leavitt in January 2010, and I don't think we've made one competent hire since. Taggart was brought in to install a smashmouth big 10 offense which looking back is laughable now, he had to completely change his scheme to keep his job then he bolts at the first sign of a new offer. Holtz and Strong speak for themselves.

Obviously Strong's contract is a back breaker, but we have to decide if we concede the rest of the season. I think Kelly lets the rest of the season play out but do we keep Strong if he somehow wins 2 of the remaining 5 and makes a bowl? I don't envy Kelly's job, but he has to make a decision after black friday that might immediately put the fundraising efforts in a hole but will be the best long term.

I flushed one down the toilet bowl and had to grab  cold long neck to sip with my morning coffee. :) In other news Hilary Clinton claims there are Russian plants in the democratic party.

Ummmm... we need 6 wins to get bowl eligible... we are 3-4; we have to win 3 out of the next 5... no bowl I can see, unless we suddenly find an offense

Too right. Math. 

Well have to imagine almost certain no bowl means the can for CCS.

Holtz feels worse, but I am not so sure.  I am more apathetic now.

Especially since Holtz has redeemed himself at LaTech...
