Holtz pauses, choosing his words carefully. "If you judge by wins and losses, then I'm not very **** good," he said. "I'm not going to sit and try to argue these numbers. I'm not going to try to sell them and make them look pretty. You can dress up a pig but it's still a pig. "If you judge by the health of the program, the academics, the character of the kids … give me time and I think I can give you a lot better answer. The guys we brought in are freshmen and redshirt freshmen. I'd at least like to be here long enough to see them shave." So, Skip, are you the guy to make this program essential? "I believe I am," he said. "We've won everywhere we've been, and we've built it the right way." The ****** play sucks, but I believe Skip is 100% correct. We are 2.5 years into the second-coach-ever's era of a 15-year-old football program. I don't think a rah-rah coach who can pull off an upset or two is ideal. I want a coach who wants to patiently construct a well-rounded program for long-term success. I think he hears our voice. I'm giving him a chance to right the ship. He has made a few tactical errors, sure, but I'm still in. http://www.tampabay.com/sports/college/usf-bulls-bringing-up-rear-in-big-east-football/1255678 Edited October 10, 2012 by hm101 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing his back is against the wall, I want to see some fight out of Skippy and this Skippy-coached team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As of right now, I just don't see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he will be better when involving our TEs more. Our offense should be aggressive in the future with a better QB and all of the WRs and good TEs we have (Price/McFarland). I think CSH can help bring us back, but I am just not sure the coordinators are the right fit for this program. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am hoping for the best and will still cheer on our team, but I am prepared for a potential mushroom cloud at the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As of right now, I just don't see it. IMO, it's the lack of effort on game day that truly pisses me off. I might beable to take a few losses, but I cann NOT tolerate lack of effort.

I did not follow him close enough at ECU. I have seen some Michigan games where Hoke is obviously running a bunch of different plays with Robinson then he likely will w/ Morris in the future.

We can't afford to be a team that takes high character players. It all sounds great, Skip, but the decline on defense (especially in our intensity on defense) is what is truly frightening.
