Tale of the Tape: Pizza Bowl - The Coaches

[StillJonesing]

Yeah that's always good for a mention of ECU on the show he is on. I think he has had plenty of success independent of his father but still being a Holtz sure hasn't hurt recruiting. I think it has opened a lot of doors. We had the #1 class last year in CUSA and are #2 currently this year.

BTW Normal Bull. Skip Holtz would already be in the Big East had he stayed a UConn instead of leaving after the 1998 season even though he knew the plans were in place and had a large part in building that program.

reading Holtz resume and taking into account his last name..you would think if he was that great of a coach he would of landed a better job then ECU.

Does the song ... Skip to my Lou ... have any bearing here  8-)

DID YOU KNOW:

Leavitt was the Big 8 Batting Champ in 1976?

[upperdeck]

clearly they have the better coach

The pissing contest continues...JL is a great coach...he has proved it...SH.?..it remains to be seen...I thought we had the iferiority complex..but you guys are giving us a run for our money 8-)

[BDYZR]

Amen

Same with Jim Levitt. You would think that guy would love to play in front of more then 24k actual fans in a stadium with a pirate ship and red seats, or that he would have got tired of his office in a double wide for 7 years and could have found a better job. 

While you are at it other suggested reading why don't you read the resume of the DC who we hired away from being a successful DC in the Big 10 school or our AD.

They weren't "Double" Wides ... we had a low budget  8-)

;D    ;D    ;D    ;D

Clearly both are good coaches.  Well, actually JL is more like outstanding.  I hope Holtz builds ECU into C-USA power house kicks UCFs ass every year.

Jim Leavitt is a good coach, but ten years ago when he came to USF he was a good prospect for USF.  He didn't have the credentials to go to a bigger school.

The reasons he wont leave are he's from St. Pete.  He was raised in the area.  Also it's clear to see he hasn't reached a plateau at USF yet.  It's still going up from here.  (I mean hell we are still using C-USA recruits  ;D)

Great Point !

Many are pre BCS and Facility recruits. The recent changes have really helped our talent which also shows why this team is so young. Many of the "new" recruits are in the 2 Deep.

Perfect example is DT Aaron Harris, a TRUE FR starting ahead of JR's
