TC is the kind of guy who can really make this thing work. When you combine skills and desire with a genuine love for your job, the results are usually exceptional.

It’s great to have a coaching staff that cares about UH. As a devoted fan, I’m pleased to have CDH and CTC overseeing all or parts of our football program.
What a difference a few weeks has made…program was reeling under Applewhite, HUGE props to leadership for pulling the plug on that disaster

This is why having Carrier on staff is SO important. He was a recruit from Houston area and can give first hand feedback to Houston recruits… Stay home, kids!!!

Funny part is: While we were freaking out and questioning our President’s seriousness to what she said a few years ago, she and uncle Tillman was far ahead of us and had plans that we couldn’t see until it was manifested to us. This whole process show that we need to have confidence in our leaders and that they are 3 to 5 steps ahead of us when it comes to changes. This isn’t the administration around late 1980s or early 1990s…

Never forget when TC graduated and as he walked across the stage RK said “Way to go Carrier” when he got his diploma.

Good grief! Not again.
Well, 8 years would be the longest HC tenure since Yeoman so I thought it was worth repeating.

From my brother who works at CITGO:
"Tyron was a trainer for several of us at CITGO.
CITGO used a company at that time and that company hired him. We trained with him for about a year before he went to Baylor to coach …
He was the toughest trainer we had …
For a 1 hour session, he can have you moving up to 45 minutes … He uses a lot of stretch band, and a lot of HIIT …
A very down to earth guy …"
