No link but he's trending on twitter - never a good sign.

True..Per Brett McMurphy..Press Conference at 1pm

This should prove to people that ECU the program won CUSA games at an 80% clip, not coach Holtz

If LaTech loses Dykes to Berkley (Cal), would Holtz be someone to look at?

As long as he leaves his OC (Todd Fitch) in Tampa...

Last time I checked, Holtz revived ECU from the abyss it was in under Thompson. That era as well as Ellis Johns year at USM should show you what a bad coach really is as opposed to (seemingly) an underachiever.

I was wondering if anyone would notice the Dykes to Berkley comment since it's such a liberal place

I would think that Skip would be high up on a lot of ADs wish lists right about now. He is a good coach, he just got caught in a no win situation for a few reasons at USF.

USM should go after Holtz hard. Even if he stays only 4 years, it would be to their benefit.

I think Holtz would be a perfect fit for USM. He was a in a very similar situation here and brought us out of it. He's a good football coach but something that's never mentioned is he's also a great salesman and would help get your boosters and fanbase back on board.

USM or UTEP?

Southern Miss, they are only one year removed from a CUSA Championship so I don't think one terrible season will hurt recruiting that much

Also having been fired now and pushing 50, even if he wins at USM or where ever he goes I don't see him ever having a lot of upward mobility at this point. I don't really don't think he could leave them for a lot of other more attractive jobs and he's pretty much assured he's not going to get another BCS job even if he is successful again.

Time for Skippy to take up TV

No to Skip Holtz

Wait...

USF was a BCS job?

Not sure I'd replace a freshly fired coach with another freshly fired coach.

The Bulls never seemed to relish their 'automatic qualifierness', did they? Even a mediocre UConn got to eat at the big table. That might be Holtz's biggest sin aside from the win-loss record.

They were good at upset victories out of conference but just couldn't get in done in BE play.
