Skippy was up and coming, winning two consecutive conference championships as a head coach, not a co-offensive coordinator that doesn’t even call the plays, he also had the Holtz name which gave us a ton of plug from Daddy at ESPN.  I hope he fares better and think he will but we shall see, I am hopeful.

The whole Skip Holtz thing is weird.  He had success before and after coming here.  I know people use the excuse of academic restrictions.  But I highly doubt that is the primary reason.

Ive been hopeful with all of our hires we have had....but this Jeff Scott one feels different.  But what do I know!

I was going to let this go, but what exactly makes Shaun King A bad coach? He was the AAC top recruiter in 2017 and here is his body of work.  Shaun King (2016) QB Coach -  Quinton Flowers w

I think we should really consider bringing back Shaun King as a RBs coach and recruiter. I haven't heard anyone say anything but great things about him. What do you all think?

Skip has success before and after at arguably lesser levels. CJS is the first guy we've ever had with sustained success at the highest level.

Well to be fair he wasnt in charge....however he has learned from one of the best and has been with Dabo for this whole ride, observing him, learning.

We have never had somebody before come with this type of pedigree.

And yeah maybe Skip is just a lower level successful ciach and thats the way it is.

I hope Willie Taggart hires Shaun King as his co-offensive coordinator/running back coach. He just hired Trickett as his co-OC/QB coach.

Would like to see King return to his alma mater. But I suspect he is a Florida man now.

You keep saying this.  It really is the primary reason. I posted the numbers a day or two ago with the APRs.  For some reason you refuse to read or believe it.

If he leaves the state of Florida, I think that would be his best option.

I won't say he hasn't been successful but it's not like he has even won CUSA since leaving here, he just got his first ten win season ever in Div 1a, and btw la tech was in okay shape when he took the job. 

In his time at La Tech - Marshall, ECU, Rice, WKU, Old Dominion, FAU, and UAB managed ten win seasons before he did. FAU managing a worst to first turnaround, old dominion moved up from FCS and UAB  literally not fielding a team for a couple years before they did. 

So we aren't talking about a guy who wins 12-13 games a year in lower conferences.  Everything in his career says he would be at best a 7-6 coach here in this conference on average.  Put the academic restrictions in there as well as a lot of negative recruiting momentum with the crumbling Big East, a few bad breaks on the field,  and you got yourself a 3 win coach. Adds up to me
