Collier has hired Stevens, Holtmann, and Jordan.

You're forgetting Brandon Miller. Collier hired Brandon Miller to replace Stevens. Leaving Miller out and giving Collier credit for hiring Hotmann oversells his resume in my opinion.
When Stevens left, Holtmann only entered the picture as an assistant coach under Collier's hire, Brandon Miller. It seemed strange at the time because Holtmann was a head coach at Gardner Webb coming off a 20 win season... why leave that for an assistant job under an unproven head coach? Makes no sense. But as fate would have it, Miller quit for health reasons after just one season (in which he went 14-17), just weeks before the start of the 2014-15 season. Holtmann being already on staff, with his head coaching experience, was a no-brainer to take over as interim head coach. They finished second in the Big East that year (and won a tournament game I believe) and Holtmann got the job permanently.
So really Collier has made three hires and had one made for him (Holtmann). Of the three he's made: Stevens proved great, Miller looked bad, and time will tell on LaVall Jordan. He's 1 for 2 right now. With Jordan does he go 2 for 3?
