He preaches having confidence, keep working until the final whistle, etc. He talks about being frustrated about players giving up on the game. Then we see him rolling his eyes and walking around the sidelines with his head down. Was he wearing headphones? Huh? You often see coaches on the sidelines, head down, focused on talking/listening ... He had his head down in exasperation, while shaking his head. I would say he was calling in a play to White, but the offense was running off the field at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way to be a positive role model and show the team not to get frustrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would we rather have Skip Holtz out there just smile and say hey guys way to COMPETE! He has the passion and I think he's said and done the correct things on the field and off the field. If you want to question his actual coaching (Xs & O's, scheme, game planning) I'm with you but saying he had his head down at one point is not worthy of criticism.

Way to be a positive role model and show the team not to get frustrated. Thanks. I'll see if I can take a look and see what it really looked like .... but honestly, you're going to have very few, if any, coaches that aren't going to show some negative reaction at that deflating occurrence. Even the best .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see him pumping people up, or getting in their face much. Mostly, he was as dejected as the players. Let's see some energy out there, and not a defeatist attitude.

I didn't see a defeatist attitude, just human frustration about what you're trying to get done vs what's actually being done. I want to see him keeping their heads up too, but I can't fault the dude for being exasperated. I was pretty upset too, but my job isn't affected by their execution.

He's getting paid over $1 million per year to not get exasperated. He gave up on the game, and the team followed suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
