How does Houston, Cincy, Tulsa, Bowling Green hit on coaches? When they make the hire they are not usually big names, but they have a number of successes that move to the next level!

Is it a statistical issue like Baseball has become?

Could it be folks responsible for hiring coaches?

You guys just don't understand vision. 

I mean, have you seen their facilities? Something tells me that's the only reason why they can hire good coaches

All of them have had recent success in football, as well as having some deep pocketed alumni--at least at UH, Cincy, and Tulsa, anyway. As for Bowling Green, I don't have a clue on they or any other non-descript MAC team finds success the way they do.

But I'd venture a guess on all of them that football and basketball are the primary windows to the university. None of them treat those sports as if they just need to roll them out there like some spare ISD would--or as North Texas has for decades...

Oh, you mean the committees? Or the past university presidents? 

Because if you ask RV, he will tell you it is these peoples' fault. 

Dont believe me? Just ask him. Or one of the posters who received letters from him. 

He takes zero accountability. Why would he? There are zero repercussions.

Would disagree on UH. Recently read a Houston Press article about UH's attendance woes and the comments were scarily familiar. I think it's simply because they win.

You just lost what very little credibility you had left.

Guys we should not be arguing in this particular thread about how bad RV is.    Getting into the weeds of comparing our program to any one of the 100+ programs more successful than ours over the last 14 years is a pointless exercise.

comments look pretty similar. How many times do I have to tell you, meat loaf, that I have many connections to UH and don't mind them at all?

John Royal is known for using misleading photos Ryan. You already know I'm the wrong guy to go toe to toe with when it comes to stuff like this.

I wasn't talking about the photo, meat loaf. I was talking about the comments. Which are the same comments you hear about UNT.

Comments about competition for attention, commuter school apathy, give the money elsewhere, etc.

UH gets bigger name coaches because they win; and we don't. Pretty simple. If UH had been as miserable as us for the last 40 years they'd be in the same position as UNT. 

The people that read the Houston Press would make those kinds of comments. Go read the comments on their Facebook page.  Night and day.

Well for Herman, 1.35 million dollars a year might have a little something to do with it. 

Bingo! We have a winner!!!!

I hate to say it, but Cougar King has been more than fair to us this season. U of H is a quality program and may run the table this year to an American Conference Championship. We on the other hand are in a hole and with luck have stopped digging ourselves deeper.

I am sure Cougar supporters would like more participation/attendance but Houston is a huge city with lots of options for entertainment dollars. I would think that the school would do more to advertise their success, but as a resident of the Houston area I just don't see any Pro-Cougar love.

Not much of that really matters. The Cougars are taking care of business on the road and at home.

We don't do it anywhere.

Now Cougar King can go back to his trolling from his mom's house with a smile on his face.

Yes don't want to pile on but really?  The record attendance at UH's stadium was set August 29, 2014.  40,700.  A sellout would be 30,850 at Apogee.  And maybe someone from the older generation can verify but I don't believe UNT, NTSU has ever had a sellout for FBS football at Fouts either.  I highly doubt UNT has ever broke the 30,000 barrier at any home venue including the games played at Texas Stadium.

I don't know about the other schools, but at UH at least part of it is assistants.  Briles had some very good assistants, especially after the AD forced out the bad ones.  Sumlin and Herman also had several great assistants.  The one failed coach had pretty poor assistants other than the one DC and OC for 1 season. 

So paying the head coach is important, but getting and paying good assistants is right up there.

      An Old Fan's Advice To You Young Fans

      I know you young guys hate when one of us old farts try to tell you what to do. But trust me on this. Don't walk.....run away from this program...as fast as you can. Get into something else. Anything. Bowling. Archery. Oragami. Japanese Anime. Anything. Heck....even becoming a serial killer would be a better use of your time. You could become the MGSK....and make a name for yourself and the school. And to really throw off the police....on each of your victims....you could put one of our 107 logos. They'd have no clue what that means....since we have no clue what our real logo is....either. Also, each week when you go out on a "kill".....wear a different uniform....as that seems to be a really big deal around here. In all honesty, I really wouldn't want any of you to get into serial killing. But, if you do....and you see me getting in my car to go to the East Carolina game....please make me one of your victims. Yours in Spiriki, sumg

      And we had to pull off a small 4th quarter miracle to beat FAU. It's been downhill ever since.

      Why Support this Program?….Seriously!?

      And it was Craig Helwig that hired him, NOT RV. And, up to the DD hiring, I thought CH was the worst AD we had ever had. Don't ask me to choose now. In fact RV and DD didn't even like one another at all. SO, you had a coach setting a winning record in conference play and an AD that only supplied minimal support to him. Only at UNT..........😠

      Pat Cobbs needs a more prominent role. If he wants it. If not, and all he ever wants is to coach RBs, then he should have a job here for life. I’m all for grooming Cobbs into a HC and giving him the keys to the university already. His unit is consistently awesome and we’re down to the 5th freaking stringer.
