Simple question. Do the Coogs have a better chance to win games in 2019 with King at QB or Tune at QB?
Simple question. Does D’Eriq King have the right to redshirt this season? And if so, does he have the right to use his redshirt season to increase his chances of extending his football career?

Well the outrage mob is out in full force against coach Holgorsen. People with nothing to do with the program stay highly concerned with what we’re doing. “Don’t watch me, watch TV.”
Yes and yes. I also note that you didn’t answer my question, but that’s ok. Your response indicates that you know the answer that 80% of people will give.
First we had soccer girls crying, now CDH is withholding handshakes and eye contact. As Vince Lombardi said, “What the hell’s going on out here?”

One of two things is going on with Murphy and his tweets.
- He is largely telling the truth about what happened.
- He has crafted a story to fit a narrative that a lot of people around the country believe/suspect/wonder about. That narrative is that CDH got out of Morgantown one step ahead of the posse and took a job where he could sit back and cash checks based on his relationship with Fertitta. Whether there is even one molecule of truth in that narrative, nobody knows but CDH. That question will remain in play for a lot of people, perhaps fueled by the WVU crowd, until CDH has some success at UH. The Murphy tweets just provide more fuel for the people pushing this idea.
The Coogs response to the redshirts in Denton strongly suggests that CDH hasn’t lost the locker room or anything close to it. A few more performances like that and a lot of this stuff will die down. Even if he just flat made all of this stuff up it isn’t good for the program to have it put out there. Winning some games is the tonic to made it better.

PackTex - to me, it depends on our opponent and the individual game match-ups. So there is really no simple or correct answer - which leaves only opinions.
[SIMILAR NOTE: Would our Phi Slama Jama era teams have had a better chance of winning games if some of our players like Rob Williams, Clyde Drexler and Hakeem Olajuwon had not left UH a year early? I think the same answer applies - which is that each individual student-athlete should have the right to exercise their full range of personal options within the framework of the NCAA regulations in order to pursue a possible professional athletic career.]
2018 King vs 2018 Tune slam dunk no question King. 2019 King vs 2019 Tune in this system I’m not convinced quite yet.

Most of you have no idea the ins & outs of Collegiate Athletics, especially D1. Don’t be so quick to criticize this young man. College Football Coaches will not blast Athletes in public or on social media, they are too savvy for that. and if they do, it’s in the heat of the moment. We all want our Head FB Coaches to ride in on the white horse and save the program, that’s not reality. These Coaches are human and have faults! We don’t want to hear the negative things for fear of making the program look bad. If a Coach mistreats an Athlete, he deserves to be called out. Respect & Trust from Athletes has to be earned and it starts in the recruiting process, so when a program has 4 Head Coaches in 5 years, and that Coach didn’t recruit you, there are going to be problems.

The outrage mob is what twitter is all about. Thankfully, it’s meaningless because people who usually occupy positions of influence live in a flesh and blood world. Most public relations folks love it when people leave all their chips on the internet. Makes their job soooooo much easier.
By flooding the world with his emotions the kid has opened himself up to scrutiny…all ten thousand characters of it.

I admire anyone who is able to channel their inner self through visualization of their outer self.
Who says anyone’s outraged or against CDH. It’s just a matter of and an ability to deal with the truth as opposed to the ignorant, time-honoured tradition of shooting the messenger.
This is a tempest in a teapot which will be gone by Monday

You can’t kick a kid out of school for exercising his First Amendment rights.
And because this is a public school, it is the First Amendment that applies here.

People do have to right to say what they please. They also have to right to not go on social media blunders. There is a time and place in which certain things Should not be said due to social norms. Guy gets into altercation with star player, then blasts head coach on Twitter with most likely false information and he cant get kicked out of school? Again, not a lawyer, but what is the underlying language used in his financial aid agreement? Is there a possible violation due to conduct? Maybe they can kick him out of his scholarship due to the acts at practice and the rest takes care of itself.
“Just win baby!”
You just said the same thing others said about tanking the SEASON.
