LOL. When one thinks things over at the Institute in Ruston can't get any worse, then along comes this.It's going to be fun watching the puppies for the next couple of years or however long Holtz lasts.

According to College Football Data Warehouse, ULM never achieved a winning season since joining Division 1A. ULM's last winning season occurred in 1993
Future non-conference opponents 2013

Very bad hire. I go to an occasional USF game and I'll tell you he is probably one of the worst coaches I've ever seen.
I hope he does better at Tech than he did there.

I'm not quite sure what to think about this hire with one exception...I would have tried to hire Dooley back before hiring Skip Holtz. I guess we'll see how it works out for them.

Who in the hell called it a home run hire?

As the leader of the Huskies football team, he accumulated a winning percentage of .596 (34–23) over five seasons.

Playing experienceWhile at high school in Fayetteville, Skip played for the school's football team at the quarterback position, bringing moderate success to the program. As a high school junior, he visited Notre Dame and met with head football coach Gerry Faust and head basketball coach Digger Phelps. In his final year of high school, Skip was denied admission to Notre Dame due to average grades and his failure to learn a foreign language. Coaches Faust and Phelps encouraged Skip to enroll at nearby Holy Cross College, located adjacent to the university in Notre Dame, Indiana. After two years of study at Holy Cross, Skip had improved his grades and transferred to Notre Dame. After his first year, Skip decided he wanted to speak with Coach Faust about walking on to the football team during his senior year. The discussions were cut short, however, as after the 1985 season, Coach Faust resigned. Replacing Faust was Skip's father, Lou, who eagerly accepted his son as a walk-on. Skip began spring practice before the 1986 season as a quarterback, but quickly changed to flanker due to his lack of throwing ability. As a flanker, he earned 54 yards on three receptions at the Blue-Gold intra-squad game in the spring of 1986. During the fall of 1986, Skip played in all 11 games on special teams. He never caught a pass, but rushed once for one yard.[6]

I did. Big name, most experienced Tech coach ever hired, proven winner of championships in CUSA, got USF's APR from last to 2nd in conference, class act/great representative of Tech, and great publicity from Dr. Lou every week.
If he doesn't work out, we can try our luck with a rookie again.

Tech all-time record: 571–428–37 (.569)
Holtz all-time record: 88-71 (.553)
Yep. Matched perfectly. Perfect hire!
Mediocrity? Table for two. Mediocrity? Table for two.

Well... when you consider the last twenty years, and not going back to the period of Reconstruction after the Civil War was fought, then...
#68 (out of 118) Louisiana Tech winning pct. .47967 with 117-127-2 record, then that paints a record of M.E.D.I.O.C.R.I.T.Y.
As I said, great fit.

If you try to spin it that way, then Skip Holtz becomes a better hire by your last comparison.
