Long time lurker, first time poster.
I have been following this entire show. Frankly I thought Chiz or Judge would be good candidates--both on short contracts. (when you are paying 7 figures there is no reason to be afraid to fire someone. MOJO should have been gone after the presser following the UT loss.0
Over the last couple weeks as coaches have been ruled out and new names show up almost daily I have come to like the prospects of Holtz.
He has lots of HC experience. He has maturity. He has been successful at La Tech.
Here is what WIKI says:
"On December 13, 2012, former UConn, East Carolina and South Florida head coach Skip Holtz, son of legendary coach Lou Holtz,[70] accepted an offer to become the head coach for the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs.[71]
Holtz's first season, the 2013 campaign, was a rebuilding year as the Bulldogs finished 4?8.[72] However, 2014 would see a big turnaround. Holtz's Bulldogs went on to finish first in C-USA West at 9?5[73] with a 35?18 win over Illinois in the Heart Of Dallas Bowl.[74] In 2015, the Bulldogs continued their success finishing 9?4[75] and winning the New Orleans Bowl over Arkansas State, 47?28.[76] In 2016, Holtz's Bulldogs finished 9?5.[77] They won the C-USA West Division title and lost in the conference championship game against East Division champion Western Kentucky.[78] Tech then accomplished their third consecutive bowl victory by defeating Navy in the Armed Forces Bowl by kicking a late field goal to win 48?45.[79] In 2017 Louisiana Tech demolished Sonny Dykes' SMU team in the Frisco Bowl 51-10 in Frisco, TX. Tech's fifth consecutive bowl win was in 2018 when the Bulldogs defeated Hawaii in the Hawaii Bowl 31-14. In 2019, the Bulldogs continued their postseason winning streak with a victory in the Independence Bowl, defeating Miami, 14-0."
He always schedules tough non conference opponents (usually at least one SEC team). He has a very good bowl record having beat Miami this year.
He knows good assistants. I think he would be like Orgeron in that he will have people on his staff to just be consultants like Robinsion is at LSU (he could get his Dad to give him feedback weekly)
Right now he would be my first choice among names being mentioned.
