I think this faction has gone underground due to the poor overall performance of the team, namely the offense, of late. Personally I could care less about the game day face of the head coach, but there are those that do. With fire and passion, we had too much of it with Leavitt. We had none of it with Holtz - just giggles and grins. Tonight I saw a coach that was fired up, but not "embarrassingly" so. He wants to win and we took a big step in that direction today. We found a little bit of who we are. Once we saw some offensive success, I saw a little swagger tonight. Let's hope it can continue. It was actually a bit fun to watch and see confidence in the team.

I would have gotten ejected after that BS OPI call on Davis. You would have had to escort me out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's great that he is passionate and shows it. It will start with him, the players will be passionate, and then it leads to the fans. Watching Skip Holtz on the sideline or in post game interviews it seemed like he could care less. He seemed content with a loss as long as he thinks his players "tried". Some things to be hopeful about after last night that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Record number of penalties for the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a way to do it without losing control. Admittedly I was never embarrassed by Leavitt, but i have a lot of crazy uncles so I may not be the best reference on that.
