Message: [QUOTE="RockyMTblue2, post: 2113118, member: 250"] Well, in the case of Holly, Pat (may she RIP) was a pretty pure judge of talent. As I understand it, for their decades together Holly was a gopher and a mother hen buffer between The Tyrant and the players. Sorta a Mutt and Jeff thing. When Pat started to struggle it was another assistant who ran the huddle - DeMoss.. It may be that she was offered the job and turned it down; says she does not want a head coaching job and turned it down when nurse-maiding Tyler Summitt and he resigned in his scandal. My theory about why Holly was offered the job is not flattering to Pat, so I'm not going to throw it out there. Also not flattering to their AD, who had to know the limitations of Holly's prior role and, frankly, her essentially slow wit. [/QUOTE]
