re: Your schools best coach in its history?

There's a guy who followed him named Holtz. Go look at his record. He set up Hatfield's run. J Frank fired him after 1 losing season.

J Frank is a legend yes and did great things in this state. But Holtz was the better coach.

Holtz was a good coach and I hated it when he was fired at Arkansas. Even in his best years at Notre Dame, however, I'm not sure Holtz was as dominant as Broyles was at Arkansas.

Also, I wasn't even much of a Hatfield fan, but I'm not sure how Holtz set things up for him? Talent was depleted when Hatfield took over, but I'm not sure how much was Holtz' fault and how much due to all the cheating by SWC teams and Switzer at Oklahoma. I've heard a lot of rumors that high school coaches didn't like Holtz in this region, though.
