Houston hires big name coach

[Other_Guy]

Wow thats really surprising. Why is he leaving? Tired of not doing anything in the Big 12?

 

[m1al]

EXCELLENT POINT !!!! MY GUESS 1 OUT OF 50 MIGHT, JUST MIGHT, HAVE HIM IN THEIR TOP 5. HOWEVER, THAT WOULD BE A STRETCH !!!

Dude, hold it down, I have a bad headache....

The answer to this is very simple. The folks that run Houston want to win football games. The folks that run UT don’t care if they win football games because they believe the money will continue to flow regardless of wins.

So much truth

So within a few days of firing their coach they already have Dana Holgorsen lined up talk about efficiency and a step up I wish TN could get onboard with such successful coaching searches. When a school like Houston can pull this off and pull from a power 5 school it really shows the decay that has become TN.

Are you really jealous over Houston getting Dana? Really?

until the power game stops the university will never be what it once was

 

[montanatenn]

They're just bored with b***ching about not knowing.
They want a hire made so they can b***ch about that. Variety is the spice of life.

It's called entitlement. They have several candidates lined up to gripe about, but don't know which one to refine.

You are all missing the point

Its how quickly and efficiently they were able to make a hire

Not that he's impressed with Dana

He's been the OC at Houston and recruited Texas before. Throw in an extra million a year and it's not hard to understand.

Remember the same gripes in the 80’s. But there were no message boards so we didn’t know anything.

I think you're spot on. It hasn't changed one bit. The difference is that people think they know something now.

Not really

Have you been in a coma since 2008?

Tennessee is a national joke when it comes to being able to hire a coach

You guys should be happy we got Rick Barnes without somehow screwing up a hire when the coach wanted the job

They threw big $$ at a mediocre coach

They won’t get the return they’re looking for.

Tennessee is a running joke when it comes to hiring coaches, this isn't something new..

Sad but true

It's a coordinator position. Pruitt will hire who HE wants. Not who YOU want.

It's West Virginia bro....Ever been there?...Can't blame him one bit.

VOL hire 95 percent done per Doug Mathews. We are into 2019 and still waiting on Doug to crow.

What makes you think it was efficient?

Some of the dumbest, most inefficient things I've witnessed were done quickly....

I think Houston is making power moves to get in the big 12.

Only reason they landed Barnes was proximity to the family in Hickory.
