7. Skip Holtz, South Florida – In another stunning finish on Saturday the Syracuse Orangemen scored with just 3 seconds left on the clock to beat Skip Holtz and his South Florida team 37 – 36 after the Orangemen were down by 20 points at halftime!

Unfortunately for Skip Holtz and South Florida a LOSS is a LOSS and that LOSS to Syracuse was South Florida’s…

SIXTH straight LOSS

….after opening the season with wins over I-AA Chattanooga and at Nevada and now at 2 – 6 overall and 0 – 4 in Big East play the Bulls have left….

Connecticut

At Miami

At Cincinnati

Pittsburgh

….and Skip Holtz REALLY needs to win these last four games because if he doesn’t that would be TWO straight sub-.500 records for Holtz at South Florida and that’s after taking over a USF team that had gone to FIVE straight bowl games under former head coach Jim Leavitt.

The pressure is now on Skip Holtz and his South Florida football team because we don’t know if Holtz can survive not getting to at least a .500 record in two of his three seasons on the job because the USF alums we talked to in Tampa at the GOP Convention in Tampa in August were under the impression that there were hiring a head coach in Skip Holtz that was going to take South Florida football to “another level†and they most certainly thought that other “level†would be….

UP

….NOT DOWN.

If we were actually relevant, Skippy would be closer to the top.

It's disturbing how much we're over paying for a HC. Not just Holtz... but anyone.

Great, more bad press for our football program. On the bright side, there is hopefully light at the end of the tunnel; meaning by the beginning of next year hopefully we will have a new head coach.

I think we don't win another game.

We are screwed.

That site barely qualifies as "press", if at all ..

There are plenty of news articles today claiming Skip Holtz's hot seat is now on fire. Just do a simple google search for Skip and check the last 24hrs of news. There's only so long you can tell people the sky isn't falling while clouds are hitting the ground.

Sad, Skip is 15-18 at USF. He needs to win 3 of the last 4 games to be 500 (which is not happening).

Next year when we lose all the Seniors/ starters will only be worse, We add Boise, UCF, and others who will also beat us.

Pathetic.

3-4 would be 18-19 he needs to win out to be at .500 or better which I think we all can agree isn't happening

You wouldn't be saying this if we were still in the hunt for a Big East title at this point.
