Wow.

Good thing their new coach doesn't throw his employees under the bus...

Things just got a lot worse for tthe Cougars. Game looks more and more winnable.

[Eastwood Eagle]

Their offense looked down right terrible Saturday night. Players kept running right in to coverage, no motion, no screens, just the same three stop drop throw. Also, Piland has absolutely no touch on the ball.

Our game against them could not come sooner.

[UNT90]

UH defense gives up 253 yards rushing and 211 passing, almost 600 yards of total of offense to a FBS provisional school.

And they fire the offensive coodinator.

Priceless.

Then again, defense never was much of a priority in Cougarville.

[Eastwood Eagle]

Yeah their defense coordinator should have his job reevaluated too. However, 13 points against Texas State is alarming.

It is scary how much the coaching staff could have messed up a team in such a short amount of time. It is not as if they lost that many players- especially on defense.

May I refer you to UNT, circa 2007.

[Green Mean]

Yes it's a bad loss but that is just stupid.

[H-towngreen]

That ish cray.

1 game and out?!?!

[Eastwood Eagle]

I team goes to routinely putting up 50-70 points only to score 13 against, no offense, Texas State at their season opener?

That is mind boggling.

[UNT90]

Houston will be terrible after this. Internal turmoil destroys teams.

VERY optimistic about our chances.

[Eastwood Eagle]

People are calling for Case Keenum to be their HC.

That actually makes total sense- that dude knows their offense inside and out and is a very smart player.

Too bad he is on the practice squad for UH.

We have very, very good shot of going in and beating UH.

Ya, but he is only 35 years old...

[Mean Green Matt]

If anyone didn't think we had a shot to beat UH, they would be conceding that Texas State is better than NT....which is absurd.

Looks like their head coach is up next: http://mbd.scout.com/mb.aspx?s=215&f=2804&t=9297906

Riiiiiggght . . . .

He may need to go, but I don't see them firing him before the season is half over.

[H-towngreen]

Can't read it. Are fans calling for his head already?

[Mean Green 93-98]

Most of them . . . but you might check out this website they link: www.firetonylevine.com

Quick! For the love of all things! Somebody call Marble Falls and inform them of the opening!

I wanna jump on board, but Dickey had it going into a tail spin before that.

[SCREAMING EAGLE-66]

Firing him after ONE week is awfully severe.... however the Coogs had the ball less than 17 min... and the TSU 43+ min. Also UH were 1 for 13 on third down.

Tough to have the ball less than that. Offense did nothing apparently. 1-2-3-kick seemed to be what happened over and over.... 12 third downs failed.

Maybe they should have waited until next week and see how TxState does against Tx Tech,, They might be a lot better than imagined.

Further, UH was one win away last year from a possible BCS Bowl game.

This is a little more drastic than the Dodge debacle.

Resigned.

I understand some people will think this was forced. If it was, then I imagine there is more to this than just the game one performance.

I can't imagine UH staff not giving him at least 2 games before making that kind of call.

[ntmeangreen11]

Here's the real question: Will fans be in meltdown mode if we lose to Houston? I don't know how good TSU is but a loss like this will either break your team or make it much stronger. I hope we don't run in to a pissed off Houston team that's gained momentum a couple weeks from now and lose the game by a big margin. The sun belters would have a field day with that one.

.

Maybe he did officially resign --- but I am betting the pressure on him was very severe ..... could be it was asked for or maybe he was chewed out so bad he just said "to hell with it" and walked out.
