Skip Holtz
148-110
1-0 vs ol Dat'boy
- 56 years old
- HC at 4 schools
- Offensive Coach
- Has coached at South Carolina/understands our culture
- Beat Ohio State in back to back bowl games as USC OC with Cory Jenkins & Dondrial Pinkins as his QBs
- was calling plays in his own spread offense while Lincoln Riley was going through puberty
- 8-3 in bowl games (won 6 straight)
- has not had 27 wins vacated by the NCAA
- his dad is also a HOF CFB coach, as does another of the candidates listed



...Lonnie I'm not serious about Skip I just wanted to remind everyone reading this search thread Skip beat ol Dat'boy in the Car Care Bowl.

but on a serious note -

Skip has had a very fine coaching career. What he did for ECU was miraculous. (ECU was in a 3-25 funk when Skip took the HC job). they've never really been as successful (even when Lincoln Riley was calling plays) since Skip left for USF.

Skip has also built a nice winning program in Ruston. Sonny Dykes cleaned up things a bit after Derek Dooley but Skip has really done well for Tech. He's won 9 games three times and 10 games once in his 7 seasons prior to 2020. 4-3 so far this year.



Also hope Lou is recovering from the virus. Holtz family helped Gamecock Football at a time we needed it most. Forever to Thee.
