  1. FAU has probably had the most success with this. Schnellenberger had his ups and downs and ended way down. Kiffin had success but left after 3 years due to that success
  2. Sumlin didn't recruit Manziel. Mike Sherman did. Sumlin didn't recruit Case Keenum. Art Briles did. Even his least bad year at Arizona he inherited Khalil Tate who was Pac 12 Honorable Mention before Sumlin. Those two 5 star QBs he recruited at A&M? One wound up at Houston and the other at OU Sumlin has never been as successful with a QB he recruited
  3. Why the downvotes on facts? Writer did correct story and UH game was cancelled due to UNT COVID issues. No judgment on either
  4. BS too. 1st 5 delays and cancellations were due to to other schools, including UNT, cancelling. https://dentonrc.com/sports/colleges/mean_green/unts-game-at-houston-has-been-canceled-due-to-coronavirus-outbreak/article_8a7d0257-2cf6-50eb-aa93-84f1adb16220.html
  5. Fake news... 15 to 20 players were out total, not due to grades. 3-4 were opt outs to prep for Senior Bowl and NFL draft. Several were missing due to injuries and COVID. There were some academically ineligible but nowhere near 15-20. Duarte (the reporter) retracted and clarified the story.
  6. Louisville is in the ACC
  7. Thats more positives than Baylor had. Some of their players had 4 negative tests but weren't allowed to play due to contact tracing
  8. Sam Khan has been the UH beat writer and author of the article I linked. Compare him to Brett Vito for UNT except now he's national working for ESPN. He knows UH football. He knows all the back stories. But obviously you know more than him. Corbin could have transferred to a P5. He had offers from TCU, Nebraska, TT, and Wisconsin out of HS. But you knew that
  9. I guess you know more than Sam Khan, Dana Holgorsen, and Keith Corbin, the other UH senior who was announced as redshirting at the same time as King and who is still with the team. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/29844641/after-transfer-tragedy-deriq-king-finds-way-back-field
  10. I should clarify that D'Eriq had other stated reasons why he chose to leave besides just Tune
  11. Holgorsen asked him to redshirt expecting him to come back. King got jumpy about how much Dana liked Tune and left.
  12. Bigger question: why does he wear a visor and not a full cap?
  13. I do think UH should win and possibly even comfortably. But you never know. UH choked big time at the TDECU opener, getting dominated as a 3 TD favorite. There have been others like that. Throw in a 4-8 season last year and playing no games this year, who knows what will happen. Does UNT having played 2 games vs 0 for UH overcome any talent/coaching/scheme differential? We just don't have any idea what UH will look like this year.
  14. To be fair, almost half the responses were to not be overconfident with examples of games we've lost that we were picked to win big
  15. On the other hand...Maybe UH football is the only program that got it right
  16. On the bright side, the job is considered a tier 3 G5 job (really non P5 because they include independents). Thats better than 104. And before anyone freaks out, there are 5 tiers. Only 11 teams are in tiers 1 and 2 (8 AAC, Boise, BYU, SDSU). No CUSA jobs are in a higher tier than UNT. Tier 3 definition "Tier 3 jobs: Some resource or location limitations but enough to make bowl games consistently and challenge for conference titles; a restricted but decent recruiting pool of regional or national prospects; a rare New Year's Six appearance is the ceiling; not a realistic candidate for Power 5 expansion." TieringTIER 1: Boise State, Cincinnati, Houston, UCFTIER 2: BYU, Memphis, Navy, San Diego State, SMU, South Florida, TempleMost likely to move up: MemphisTIER 3: Air Force, Appalachian State, Arkansas State, Central Michigan, Colorado State, East Carolina, Florida Atlantic, Fresno State, Georgia Southern, Louisiana, Louisiana Tech, Marshall, Miami (Ohio), Northern Illinois, North Texas, Ohio, Southern Miss, Toledo, Western Michigan, WyomingMost likely to move up: Colorado StateTIER 4: Army, Bowling Green, Buffalo, Charlotte, Florida International, Georgia State, Hawaii, Liberty, Middle Tennessee, Nevada, New Mexico, Old Dominion, Troy, Tulane, Tulsa, UAB, UConn, Utah State, Western KentuckyMost likely to move up: Troy, TulaneTIER 5: Akron, Ball State, Coastal Carolina, Eastern Michigan, Kent State, Louisiana-Monroe, New Mexico State, Rice, San Jose State, South Alabama, Texas State, UMass, UTEP, UTSAMost likely to move up: Texas State, UTSA Link https://www.espn.com/college-football/insider/story/_/id/29268130/college-football-coaching-job-tiers-boise-state-houston-ucf-most-attractive-group-5
  17. It's not solely greed. It's also about control.
  18. His individual results vs expectations may have been the worst. He was one of the most accurate QBs in football last year and he couldn't hit a wide open short route this year. Don't know what happened
  19. While we've been disappointed with the season, UH preseason expectations were all over the place. There were some "best case" scenarios of 9 wins, but Vegas had UH at 7 and ESPN had 6. I dont think anyone had UH winning the conference. Throw in UH is close to tying their record for playing the most ranked opponents in a season. So 2-3 less wins than most predictions. Bad but not most disastrous season of all teams
  20. The UH defense is not good, but playing OU and Washington State would skew the stats for most teams
  21. There are positives and negatives to both approaches. The premise was perception of the program. Even if you expand to 50k and fill the stadium for a UT or aTm game, unless you have 45k the next week for the lesser opponent, the perception will be horrible. Trust me on this. I attended UH during the run and shoot years in the late 80s/early 90s. We'd have 50k vs UT or aTm, then have 20k the next week for TCU. The percpion was the additional 30k fans were all UT. The truth was more likely 15k UT fans and 15k UH fans that would only show up against the bigger name opponent. But the truth didnt matter. All perception. And if you think 20k in a 30k stadium isnt the best atmosphere, 30k in a 50k stadium is worse. Even with 50% more attendance, it feels empty
  22. I think a consistently sold out 31k seat stadium is a better image than one 40k sell out game per season along with multiple games under 30k. Scarcity of single game tickets drives up season ticket sales which really improves perception. After a couple of seasons of sell outs, you expand
  23. Returns UH 188 yards 2 TDs UNT 86 yards 0 TDs
