To me, that means the only accomplishment so far is on paper. Which, to this point in actuality is nothing. The play on the field last year was atrocious and worse yet, extremely boring to watch. Let's see how the team performs through the first 4 or 5 games then a judgement can be made if anything has been accomplished. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we had good administrators, Lou Holtz Jr. would have never been hired.Yes, Holtz looked good on paper. BUT. But he wasn't a program re-builder. Our football program didn't need to be re-built. If it had, Holtz might have been the coach to do it. The 3 years prior to his arrival at ECU: 4-8 1-11 2-9 His tenure there: 5-6 7-6 8-5 9-5 9-5 You bring up good point...maybe Jims players were not use to a Holtz like coach and took advantage...still doesn't explain though team got worse longer Holtz was there. Either way I believe Cwt will turn things around if we win 2 or less games he needs to be fired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By typical political correctness and misinformation standards, we had to enter a warm and fuzzy period. I feel for Skip Holtz. He should have demanded more. Is that good Trip?
