Add another program to the list of schools looking for a new football coach.

Louisiana Tech has reportedly parted ways with Skip Holtz, according to ESPN’s Adam Rittenberg, who recently interviewed for multiple Power 5 opportunities, and had chances to move on in the Group of 5.

Tech is 3-8 this season and scheduled to play Rice on Saturday. The Bulldogs last week lost to Southern Miss 35-19.

Holtz had been at Tech since 2013 after he was previously the head coach at South Florida and East Carolina. The program went to 7 bowl games until Holtz, and the Bulldogs won 6 of them. Holtz is 64-49 at Tech, and overall 118-97 (.549)
