They fired arguably the most consistent coach in CUSA for this guy?

No doubt he's a great coordinator but not sure why this was even needed in the first place.

I went to the La Tech game and hung out at the Dawg House. I met the owner and some locals. It seems none of them were really happy with Skip. Not that they didn’t like him, but seemed to expect he was not long for Ruston. I think it was just time in both sides to move on. No love, but no hate either.

How grown up and civilized.

People keep saying this. Then why is LaTech paying the 3M buyout? Because Skip quit? That's not how that works. 

People are saying it because the language in the press releases leaves some wiggle room for it.

[Wood] Skip and I talked and agreed it was time for a change for both parties...
[Holtz]..and I simply think it is time for someone else to have the chance to lead this special group of young men.

My guess is LaTach wanted him out, started the convo, and Skip was ready and willing for the change.

Yep.   "Gimme my money, and I'll leave without a fuss."

Sure. I understand that. But he was fired. Ignorantly.

      The Athletic on DFW Football recruiting

      It's not as easy as it was to be invited to the top anymore. Everyone wants to be up at the top, so universities throw money at their programs hoping it happens. In the 80's if you threw money at your program then you had a real shot. Now, it's all based on brand recognition and perception. Though what you are saying has a lot of credence to it, but I think the downfall of the university's athletics started when the university started to push the "university for all" bullshit. And though I think that's a slogan that's not that dated, that's not what I am referencing. I am more so referring to when the push was artsy and music students, and then this liberal inclusion bullshit. Sport people USUALLY don't share those beliefs and/or interests. And when you're making a gigantic bulk of your enrollment that, well, our student and alum involvement turns out to be the result. The drop down certainly did alienate a large % of fans in that window of time, but in the 21st century our problem is what and who we're catering to.

      Kenyon Martin, Bryan Adams, had a really nice NBA career.

      SWAC leading rebounder Brian Myles to announce where he's going

      There are a ton of players still in the portal. It sucks, but we have to be patient and see how things play out. Let the big money NIL's grab up who they want and there will be a lot of really good players looking for a place to land.

      Head coach, not anymore

      Deion here for a good time, not a long time. He may bounce after this year.

      Head coach, not anymore

      I already know about him. Deion was on him all year for his lack of work ethic. EDIT: https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/from-colorado-to-transfer-portal-is-there-a-path-of-redemption-for-cormani-mcclain/
