Skip Holtz, head coach, East Carolina: Holtz, 44, is in his third season at East Carolina. The Pirates finished 7-5 this season and are headed to their second consecutive bowl. Holtz spent eight seasons working with his father, Lou, at Notre Dame and South Carolina. He was head coach at Connecticut for five seasons (1994-98) where he had a record of 34-23.

side note: Jim Donnan was on the local sports station and said Skip is interested in the job because of his prior working relationship with the Georgia Tech AD.

he'd be a great hire for GT, but he's set on the island and i doubt will ever leave UH.

If East Carolina loses Holtz, I wonder if Jim Donnan will be contacted?

I wish we could afford Gailey as an OC.

Crap!!!  I was hoping that it had Snyder listed as a candidate. ;D

He is indeed set.  When I was there he was the highest paid person in Hawaii...and I'm sure he still is.

It was because they saw the chance of attractive opportunities like this opening up that the MU administration had the forethought to extend Snyder's contract.
