Khator says Dana saying "the ship has sailed on 2024 recruiting" was the final straw

The other stuff we complained about played a role as well. Especially people who were about to cancel their season tickets.

Tilman said that blowing leads in the last few games was his breaking point. He also apparently reads this board lmao.

That’s the point I knew for certain he was trying to get fired.

Yup, he didn’t want to work anymore. Only wish we could have fired him for cause.

The length of his contract extension was a mistake imho.

That was definitely a mistake on a cupcake schedule. NEVER AGAIN

And I’d have fired him that same day. Imagine telling your boss you give up and you’re not even going to try anymore

"If Holgorsen were to remain at UH, at that point an unlikely scenario, he would at the very least be forced to make changes to his coaching staff. That was a point of contention for Holgorsen, who refused to part ways with certain staff members despite being told to do so, a source said. "

That aounds like he wanted to keep Belk

Levine did work hard, what I was referring to was what NTXCoog said about Holgy refused to replace staff members or member. Hanging on to Bush was the Levine downfall.

Although the Dana Lovers tried, they just couldn’t squash all the fan dissent.

If they had their way and we would blindly ‘support the coach’ and not have threatened to cancel season tickets, we’d have the pleasure of having Dana as our coach to this day and into next year.

Thanks to the ‘haters’ that made the change possible. :smiley:

Of course Tilman reads this board. My commentary alone is worth the cost of a subscription

Between the recruiting comment which was awful. Once an admin starts telling a coach it’s times to change up it’s a kiss of death. Maybe not immediately but it’s almost always a ticking clock from that point on

Khator even paying attention to recruiting is heartening. She’s savvy on what her flagship athletic program is facing. Big ups on that for sure
