What Holbrook needs to do is win consistently. The program has slipped for sure. Is he the reason? Im no expert and don't know where his hands are cuffed, if at all.
Surely he can right the ship but a coach is only as good as his players.
Where I think Holbrook, along with tons of other college coaches, has screwed the pooch is in recruiting and development of players. We've lost lots of good players that have been replaced by players with far less talent. He also has to get the players to believe in him and get them to play all out every play.
