Yes.

For the record, though, this thread with Holtz in the title wasn't started by one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking over a team that won 9 games is not a rebuild. The foundation is there. I'm not trying to convince you it's a rebuild. I have no skin in the game one way or the other. It's just a fact that LA Tech lost 30 players, 18 of them starters, from the Dykes team that won 9 games the previous season. You are free to call his 3 year tenure (5-7, 8-5, 9-3) a foundation that did not require a rebuild. Edited October 27, 2014 by JTrue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking over a team that won 9 games is not a rebuild. The foundation is there. Reminds me of the old cliche about some programs being able to just reload when losing a huge portion of their starters (over 3/4 in this case) after good to great seasons and some having to rebuild. To me, I'd put LaTech on the "Rebuild" side of the ledger. What separates programs like that from the continuously successful is consistent depth ...
