If they have any good sense whatsoever they would like and respect the hell out of it.
SC's program was dogshit for its entire existence minus about 3 seasons. While holtz did go 0-21, he DID at least raise their talent and raise their expectations. They went from losing to everyone by 30 every year to losing by 10, and also pulled some good upsets along the way. He was also able to get in a number of pretty high profile guys that most big SEC schools would have loved to have. They had won 1 (ONE!) bowl game in SCHOOL HISTORY prior to his arrival, he then won 2 new years day bowls back to back, and against Ohio State no less.
He should be seen similar to how donnan is for UGA. Awful, awful predecessor so started out with nothing, made great strides to elevate the program and build for the next guy, then the next guy took the program even higher.
Any SC fan who doesn't like and isn't grateful for the holtz era is under 20 years old.

Lou Holtz was a breath of fresh air for the program after the Bradstard Scott debacle. Biggest single-season turnaround in program history, he put us on the map. Spurrier made us a force to reckon with, and he wouldn't have been here if we hadn't hired Holtz first. I don't think you would find many Carolina fans who would say they wished Holtz had never coached here.

Mediocre is the term. Dogshit would be if '98 and '99 were the standard for our program, which they weren't.

His first season he wen't 0-11. In '98 we went 1-10 losing every game but the opener

Just a blatantly ridiculous claim since you clearly are not referring to just '98 and '99.
