West Virginia Vs. South Florida: How Fares Young Skip Holtz?

SB Nation’s Smoking Musket and Voodoo Five discuss the Bulls’ coaching transition:

TSM: How would you compare/contrast Jim Leavitt to Skip Holtz (other than intensity) and how is the fan base taking to Holtz (supporting or turning against at this point)?
V5: I think Skip and his staff are more adaptable to the game in front of them. One thing you noticed in conference play the last few years with Leavitt is that there weren’t too many adjustments, or different attacks for different opponents. They did what they did, and if you could stop them or exploit them, congratulations, you win. This year you’re seeing specific game plans for specific opponents that make logical sense. Granted the execution hasn’t been very good at times, but they are at least being set up to succeed.
After losing to Syracuse, I think some reality is setting in for our fans -- this team lost a lot of talent after last season, and even with what I would consider better coaching, there’s only so much of that you can overcome. We might not go bowling this year, which is a tough pill to swallow, but the fans are pretty accepting of the fact that Holtz needs some time to get things set up the way he wants them.
