link? Chronicle ... Now, the speculation can end and we an get about the business of being perennial top 20 team. Let the recruits flow. ....ready for that stadium.
So what? All new deals mean in college football is that the coach makes more money. It doesn't guarantee any loyalty on his part. He could sign a new deal today and then leave in a week if the other UT came calling. Signing a new deal doesn't even deserve to be reported in College Football. It means nothing to anyone other than the Coach's bank account.
Yeah, contracts aren't exactly unbreakable. But it is newsworthy to note that Sumlin will be getting paid more, possibly enough to make other job offers less appealing than they would have been otherwise.
Dude, I don't know how to grab a link. How about helping me and throwing one up there? It's another big day for UH.
I'm just jaded about College Football head coaches. It sucks in my opinion that they get new contracts that increase their pay, but they'll hike their skirts and bat their eyelashes at the first school that comes along with a fatter wallet.

Looks like he'll have to find a new OC and DC as LZ of 1560 just posted on his twitter: LanceZierlein : Holgerson leaving the cougrs to tale over as off coord for ok state
i wish i could say i was excited. unfortunately, with the way the season ended. I am but satisfied. losing him would have hurt. losing the coordinators may well hurt. [let me restate that. losing dana will hurt.] retaining him, at this point, is only good.
Is Sumlin really that impressive? The Defense really sucked this year, and he made some pretty piss-poor game management decisions.
But when put in context with all that is happening at UH, I wouldn't downplay it. Maggard was/has been a busy bee.
Such as? I am very impressed with Sumlin as a recruiter (he cobbled together a respectable class last year with only a few weeks to do it), chief of personnel (he makes good hires and has connections), face of the program (says the right things, good fund raiser, media friendly), disciplinarian (our graduation rates are climbing and we're one of the least penalized teams in the country), and overall gameday coach (I haven't seen him show up unprepared to many games, just outmatched)
I seem to recall a terrible mishandling of the clock before halftime in the Tech game, and perhaps another few times where it was questionable. Could be nitpicky, I'm used to watching professional football.
I don't remember that. I wouldn't be surprised if the crack squad of CUSA officials had something to do with it, though.
Actually my team made the playoffs and the Super Bowl when I was a fan. I don't really watch the Raiders much these days, no reason to. More of an NFL fan in general. I watch NFL games. And since I moved to Texas the past 4 years I haven't had Sunday Ticket, I usually only watch Texans games.
