Holtz withdraws name from consideration at Syracuse

Another coach who might be entering the Auburn mix is East Carolina coach Skip Holtz, who withdrew his name from consideration for the Syracuse job today.

Here's his quote from the release:
"While it is always flattering for others to have an interest n your abilities, I simply am too focused on our preparations for the bowl game and many other of our short and long-term goals to fairly evaluate what I feel is a promising situation at Syracuse. I appreciate Syracuse's interest, but that cretainly is a direct reflection on what our players, coaches and the Pirate Nation have been able to accomplish, especially through a season that featured so much adversity."
Holtz is scheduled to be at a Liberty Bowl press conference today. I'll update with any comments he makes pertaining to the Auburn job.

Do these coaches come interview thinking they have a shot or to just get more exposure for themselves. Not really talking about Patterson, but Brady Hoke and Tulsa's coach, there is no way they can actually think they have a shot.

I posted on your heisman entry and gave my two cents... that was a cool entry.
