Here's why David Letterman's school beat us

[DELdaBull]

to be honest I thought Skip was a great hire at the time. shows what I know

[smazza]

1.they had a better qb

2.their team plays the game better(fundamentals are solid)-----catching,blocking,tackling

3.their team had more effort and desire

4.their coaches are better

since usf is no longer in big 5 conference i really dont know how much of a commitment school can make to football

judy,woollard and skip should all go based on how they screwed up football and compounded poblem by rewarding such incompetence but that would be costly

so did i

but when he didnt recruit a blue chip qb year one i was worried

after year 2 i knew he was finished

bj is not a d1 qb

he makes the greatest plays once in a while

fun to watch

he is a great runner

makes some great throws BUT

HE HAS no poise

cant consistently complete passes

doesnt throw a catchable ball(no touch)

he doesnt have the mental makeup(laughing and cajoling with the opposition when he needs to lead and inspire his own teammates)

BJ had better numbers than kansas state QB last year. the same kanasas state that went 10-2 and finished in top 10. the same kansas state QB that went 13 for 21 for 149 yards 1 TD 17 rushes for 79 yards and 1 TD against #6 OU in a win last night.

you really don't have a clue if you think it's on the QB.

This year it's been all on the lack of Defence. We would be 4-0 easily with a decent defence. BJ has done enough to win, except maybe Rutgers, but getting no help from the Defence.

That QB was not better. He faced ZERO pressure all game. Any D1 QB would be able to pick apart a defense if he knows there is no chance of a sack.

No doubt in my mind that Holtz was the right guy, given the circumstances at the time of the hire.

He had won at ECU and his personality was a needed calming influence.

The mistakes I see are:

1. Hiring his entire staff from ECU. The only good hire at the time was Snyder. He needed to bring in proven, top notch coordinators from BCS level programs.

2. Not firing Fitch after year 1. That offense was ridiculous.

3. Not making any changes to the coaching staff after last season. (Snyder left on his own)

4. Contract extension.

In retrospect, how much of Skip's success at ECU was having Chris Johnson?

Skip was the right hire at the time, but he has continually made poor decisions regarding his coaching staff.

How many other BCS programs had disappointing seasons, but kept every coach on the staff in place? Wisconsin got off to a poor start and fired their OL coach after game 2.

I would agree with that. He is to buddy buddy with his staff and has kept coaches around that will eventually cost him his job and his friends

jobs. I wish he brought the D coordinator he had at ECU can't recall the name but alot of ECU fans say he was the reason they won CUSA not Holtz.

USF's defense came up with zero tackles for loss in 71 plays against Ball State offense. Zero takeaways. Stats show a single QB hurry.

Horrible!!!

Looks like the players have given up. For whatever reason, the defense doesn't feel like performing. Maybe the players aren't happy with the staff either.

Well more holtzcuses, now he says there are injuries on defense.

I bet we still hug good though.
