Woolard probably called him innediately

Business is business.

I hope he finds a job quickly, and hopefully we find the right guy.

Some of the other contracts are worded so that if he finds a job we don't have to continue the 500K a year. They also require that he makes reasonable attempts to find employment. Anyone know if this is true for Skipper?

I would think they have their candidates ready. This was a decision that had to be made early on in the season. The team was never prepared to play week in week out

I hope you are right because there are a lot of jobs open right now and if DW is behind the 8 on this...

Old news ... Hem broke it yesterday

A sad day but hopefully the basis for a positive new beginning. Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of confidence in our handling of the new hire or that this will all work out for the best in the long run.

USF will announce firing of football coach Skip Holtz at 1 p.m. news conference. Bulls lost 12 of last 14 Big East games, finished 3-9.

Anyone know if the presser will be televised?

South Florida: Don't be surprised if Western Kentucky head coach Willie Taggart and San Diego Chargers special teams coordinator / assistant head coach Rich Bisaccia emerge as candidates. Sources tell me that University of Arizona co-offensive coordinator / running backs / associate head coach Calvin McGee will be interested. You could see South Florida make a run at Texas Tech head coach Tommy Tuberville.
