In Reply to: Skipper is Everywhere- On Every Intervew Platform and Podcast … posted by MANTIS9 on October 18, 2025 at 04:03:59
I mean let's be honest, a month ago, with most of us believing this team was likely to finish the season winless, I think we all would have accepted 6 wins as successful turnaround by a new coach NEXT SEASON as a successful turnaround in year one. If Skipper gets anywhere near pulling that off in year zero, particularly with who we have left to play on our schedule, I don't know how you make the case that he isn't the right guy for the job. Granted, a month ago, if anyone had suggested that we hire Tim Skipper as our next head football coach, I would have been leading the charge in laughing them off the board, but (as evidenced by the national attention the program is now getting for positive reasons), you cannot ignore what he is doing at UCLA. From his very first interview after taking over triage as interim coach, he has been very impressive, highlighted so many things that have been absent with our past couple of coaches and beyond.
