Dang, I’d sure hate to see him go away and appear again in another uni if its not the Texans. He, and we, need to see him stay here in some capacity, coach, coach/player, backup, wise old owl, or gathering more eggs to take with him when he comes home to UH. I can just see him sitting beside CWF as the QB coach teaching our guys how to play the game. I’d think he would like that, not having all the pressure of the HC job and yet have the strong relationship of QB to coach commitment that a lot of kids don’t have these days. “Dad QB coach” would stand pretty strong with a lot of these kids coming out of HS and heading to college.
Just depends if he wants to cash player checks for 2 more years vs having to move. A team will pick him up, he won’t go practice squad. Tons of Twitter mentions for teams that want him.
I think Case would be better off coaching in the NFL until all the NIL, transfer portal, paying players etc stabilizes in the college landscape.
I’m not sure if he would be the person to juggle all that and then also have to make time to go recruit, scout, deal with demanding parents in addition to coaching.
There was some mention that the Texans did this so Case could obtain his 10th year in the league. Some kinda retirement/insurance vesting. Who knows if true or not.
This is a myth perpetuated by the media that UH athletes, like UH, are mid-tier and could not possibly compete with the blue bloods and the athletes they recruit. When Case came out of Wylie High School, he was a 2 , then signed with a G5 university. No matter how successful Case is in the NFL, some will always view him as an overachieving career backup.
So which would you rather have?
Keenum a 2 recruit that worked his way into a starting QB role at UH, overcame a season ending injury, and ended up being the NCAA’s all time passing leader in yards, and played 12 years in the NFL, adapting to whatever role was asked of him.
Vince Young, 5 golden boy, played at the state’s flagship university, won a college national championship and played 5 years in the NFL and 4 more years as an offseason or practice squad member with various NFL and CFL teams.
