What a chip off the Old Ball Coach. SKIP HOLTZ

East Carolina Pirates Football - At 2 and 0 SKIP HOLTZ has the Pirates off to a great start and eyeing a possible BCS bowl bid. The revival of a dormant program has put HOLTZ on the Old Ball Coach Map. A map once graced by his father LOU HOLTZ, the Great Notre Dame Coach. The Pirates rise has occurred steadily over the last three seasons and may be just the prelude to what is next.

Lose game. No problem sign multi-year contract

West Virginia Head Ball Coach BILL STEWART despite loss to East Carolina signs multi-year contract. The six year deal will pay STEWART $800,000 this year and includes annual increases of $50,000. STEWART was named the Mountaineers head ball coach on January 3, 2008, after leading West Virginia to a 48-28 upset victory over No. 3 Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl. Stewart replaced RICH RODRIGUEZ, who left to become the new head coach at Michigan after their attempts to woo LESS MILES were unsuccessful.

RICK NEUHEISEL - There's a new Old Ball Coach in town.

Former UCLA Quarterback and Rose Bowl MVP, RICK NEUHEISEL is back at his alma mater as the Head Ball Coach. And boy is he back. After the UCLA Athletic Department ran the ad seen to the right in the Los Angeles times, and seemingly bit off more than NEUHEISEL could chew, he and his Bruins backed it up and sent a shot that must have been heard across town. In a big test Monday night vs No.18 Tennessee, NEUHEISEL's Bruins, lead by third string quarterback Kevin Craft, played the Vols close and despite four first half interceptions came away with a 27-24 victory in overtime. It is just the first game of the season, but what a way to start for NEUHEISEL. Even Old PETE must have raised an eyebrow at this one. December 6th is starting to look better by the minute.
