Coach Ruffin McNeill took over the program when former coach Skip Holtz left for USF, and has since been able to build the program up. 

“When coach Ruffin got here five years ago, it was a different atmosphere,†Carden said. “It took him a while to create that family atmosphere and get the guys he wanted and he’s really built this program up. We have so much depth at receiver and running back and O-line that have allowed us to be able to do all of these things since I’ve been here.â€

Holtz proved when he came to USF that the only reason ECU won those championships was Chris Johnson.

Should've also bolded the part about "taking a while to build the atmosphere and get the guys he wanted ..."

All coaches say it. It would be shocking to hear a coach compliment the coach before them, saying their success was due to the previous staff.

Which championship do you think Johnson had the biggest impact on? 2008 or 2009?

Ruffin has had five years to build "his" program.   You didn't give Holtz that long to build "his" program.

 

Love when people twist things around to conform to their own biased beliefs.
