Holy Moley.  Why was he fired ?  He's already scouted Southern Meth.  Get him a green polo and let's get started.

Nice find Jay.  I think this guy deserves some consideration.  Not a glamour hire but a solid one.  He's making Hermann look like a genius.  I really believe this guy has a solid plan on recruiting which is a plus.

I had mentioned him a while back. He sure checks all the boxes, but now I am in the Jinks wagon. Watch his u tube videos!

He was fired because he went 7-5 with a 12-0 caliber team. You can't lose to UTSA, Tulane, Texas State and give up 72 points to SMU (back in 2012) and expect to keep a job at UH.

After some quick look-see, I saw that Levine was fired after losing to UTSA to open their new stadium and then lost that season to Tulane.  They went 7-5.   And that same season, Houston went to a bowl.  Looking back, that same season, we lost to Tulane and to UTSA and went to a bowl. 

 

Except for having to put up kids playing on this site on the internet, he sounds like a solid hire. 

 

I wonder if he still lives in the Houston area ?

This guy sounds great. Which is probably why he won't be considered.

Problem with Levine is he under performed at UH. However, he still had some winning seasons and bowl success. I think we would take the success he had at UH in a heartbeat. My fear is that he was able to put up those seasons because of UH's talent which would not translate to UNT. Also he lost to UTSA at UH's brand new stadium opener - that is like a Portland State level loss for UH in my opinion. 

 

I do think Levine is generally a well prepared and smart coach. Really do have mixed feelings about him at UNT (glad he is gone at UH though).
