Johnny Helpenstill @johnnyghelp 55m55 minutes ago @MarkBermanFox26 Don't blame him for leaving but don't go out being a chicken S. T The first one explains why I feel disappointed, the second well sums up how I feel.
It's really sad to see such a wonderful era in UH football come to such an anticlimatic and disappointing conclusion. Tom could have at least said a few words. Damn. That looked like a perp walk.
Idiocy? Coogs were paying more to Herman than Stanford is to Shaw. Only thing holding back UH is P5 status. If it is about the cash then UH can outbid most Power 5 teams. Herman plays well as an underdog but he won't have that luxury at UT. He lost the games where the teams threw the kitchen sink at him and he thought he could show up. Let's see if he's the be all end all the Longhorns were looking for.
Lol you might as well ask for Saban. Shaw is a Stanford graduate himself and already makes 3.9M. He personally bleeds Stanford blood. Shaw wouldn't even go to UT if offered.
I didn't go to UH or UT, but your arrogance and crap attitude make you seem despicable. You poor soul.
He met with UT last night that supposedly ended all the way this morning. I'm a little bit salty right now so I rather not talk about what I'm really thinking.
A bunch Houston praise in that article... All done with 3 stars to walk-ons, meanwhile all the great recruits in UT can't beat Kansas... I hope CTH turns it around because that school has been a laughing stock more than not.
How about Lincoln Riley from Oklahoma for next HC? ESPN Insider article on Houston head coaching search: The candidates West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen: Dana should be seriously considered. The extension talks with the folks at West Virginia have not been successful. He's due to make only $2.9 million next year, and with the success this season, doors are going to open for him. He's a guy who loves the city of Houston and has coached at the University of Houston. I know some people might say it's crazy to leave a Big 12 job for Houston, but that's one job he would be attracted to. -- Olson Oklahoma offensive coordinator Lincoln Riley: He makes a lot of sense. He's a great offensive mind, and he runs a really good, wide-open, entertaining offense. He did it at East Carolina, and he has done it at Oklahoma. He's probably a guy who, if the Cougars don't get him now, they're not going to have a chance to get him in two or three years. -- Low Riley: Tom Herman won the Broyles Award (for the nation's top assistant coach) the year he took the Houston job. Those are the coaches you should be looking at, and Lincoln Riley won the Broyles last year. -- Olson Cal coach Sonny Dykes: He has obviously coached in Texas. His dad, Spike Dykes, coached in Texas. He knows high school coaches, develops quarterbacks and runs an entertaining offense. -- Schlabach Dykes: It's the same offense that every high school in the state of Texas is running right now. -- Crabtree Alabama offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin: The enormity of being the head coach at Houston is not what it is at USC or Tennessee. Plus, it's a big city. Lane needs to go somewhere he can disappear a little bit. He won't have to wear as many hats as he would at a Pac-12 or SEC school. He might need that to break back into the coaching fraternity. -- Low Kiffin: He's interesting because we're talking about coordinators versus head coaches, but he has been both. Obviously, he has been more successful as one than the other, but with the quarterback development and a name quarterbacks want to play for, he could be a really interesting option. He's a guy Houston would have to consider pretty strongly. -- Rittenberg The firm also discussed Mississippi State coach Dan Mullen, Houston defensive coordinator Todd Orlando and Houston offensive coordinator Major Applewhite. The Search Firm's recommendation: West Virginia's Dana Holgorsen He gets to escape whatever you want to call his situation in Morgantown and go back to a city he loves and a program where he has won. Houston gets an exciting offensive mind with legit Power 5 credentials who can keep the team in contention every year. -- Olson He has recruited in the Lone Star State in his time at Texas Tech, Houston and Oklahoma State. Plus, he's a savvy recruiter who knows how to go against the grain, pick the appropriate recruiting battles and land some quality talent. -- Crabtree He knows the state well, he runs an exciting version of the Mike Leach offense, and I think he's looking for a place to land for a while. I don't think Houston needs another up-and-coming coach who is only going to use the job as a launching pad to something bigger and better in a Power 5 conference. -- Schlabach
Doesn't this seem hard to believe? I would really be surprised if this is true. I would think before he even met with the Longhorns, he had a pretty good idea he was leaving. He could have just told his players he hadn't made any firm decision. He could have told his players he was going to listen to any offers and then decide. It doesn't make sense that he would say he's going to stay.
