Even he said that he basically was coaching mindset more than football, because the players already had all the talent to succeed.
Sitake got a gimpy Taysom, who was not nearly the same as he was his first 2 years... he got a QB in Mangum that could never fully grasp the offense... Sitake was tasked with taking Detmer as an OC, which resulted in a terrible offensive staff... that decision was more on Holmoe and less on Sitake. If anything, Holmoe owes Sitake another year because of that decision alone.
