Holtz said he was doing a great job, especially bringing our athletes academics from last in the Big East to second. He also cited injuries this year. Overall statement was "I just ran out of time" to improve the team. Mebbe so, but he never seemed to run out of timeouts... or excuses nor excuses why he still had timeouts left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lamar and Daniels were lost after we already had 5 & 6 losses. F Holtz and his ****** excuses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His intentions were to build a foundation based on academics first. He had begun that by increasing the graduation rates, the way he did. Too bad he could not accomplish it and at least maintain the win/loss percentage. I wish him well. Edited December 15, 2012 by swamprat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall statement was "I just ran out of time" to improve the team. The problem I have with this sentiment is, he took over a team that had gone bowling five straight years, and by his second year had turned it into hands down the worst team in the Big East. Improvement would have been great, but how about at least maintaining the status quo? Holtz didn't get fired for failing to improve the team, he got fired for making it much, much worse. But I wouldn't expect him to say anything other than what he said in this press conference, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Skip didn't work out here, and I wanted him gone as much as the next person , but I hope he kills it at La Tech to offset some of the **** people have given the most minute details of his tenure... No program should have to suffer through what he will bring to the table. He will not kill it at La Tech. Looking at past results, 6-8 wins is his max. Nice person, but one of the worst coaches in the game. The only reason he one three games is because we have decent. We were very close to being the Southern Miss of the BCS teams.

The only reason he came to USF was because he was sent here by his evil overlords in Bristol to destroy the program. Mission accomplished.

LOL ... It has been only a couple of weeks so I guess the butt hurt is still understandable from our more sensitive fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
