By the time he is done, he will have gone through four head coaches and how many OCs, simply mind boggling .
What about the quoted post is âslamming his abilitiesâ vs just quoting facts some may not like? 11-8 as starting QB is pretty mediocre (and 9-8 is basically .500 vs FBS as a starting QB). I get that it is a team sport in W-L column but that also means Marquez Stevenson, Keith Corbin, etc. should get loads of credit for the passing yards and TDs vs just the QB.
Whoever the QB is at UH should inherit one heck of a team. Whether itâs Masood, Tune or Holgy Jr.
What strikes me the most about the move is that there are folks here saying that King isnât an Air Raid QB, yet he is going to start up a new offense under Rhett Lashlee who last ran the air raid.
If King lights it up, it will really put the spotlight on Dana.
it wont be Holgy Jr lol
Miami plays in the Coastal Division of the ACC. Almost every team in that division is a QB away from being the sacrificial lamb in the CCG. He can generate a lot of exposure for himself with a decent year.
First time writer in this site. Please, stop talking about King and the other players that left our sport programs. Who really care where they moved to, the important thing is that they are Cougars anymore. Lets concentrate with the players that we have and support them in the good and bad times.
The issue is that King is STILL a Coog. We can argue about all the small stuff, but he is a degree holder from the University of Houston; last time I checked, that organizationâs mascot is the cougar.
Whatâs also funny is that people want to support transfers that come in, but not guys who leave the program. If that doesnât scream disgruntled individual(s), then I donât know what else to say. To take it a step further, people not only welcome transfers from horn and aggy, but they also follow said aggy enough to create a thread for him: Kyle Allen - Season 3 (Traded to Washington)
If we support new Coogs (transfers) then we need to support Coogs with degrees that have been here longer than transfers.
Maybe some of you have forgot what it means to be a Forever Coog!
We have players leave all the time. Itâs not until a premier player of ours leaves that we get bent out of shape about it. Last time I really cared before King (that I can remember) was Sims. Those were both moves that completely change the dynamic of the next season. How often do we get another teams top line player transferring in?
And yes, King does have a degree and will always be a Cougar. That said, if he goes on to get drafted and/or play in the league, he will introduce himself as: âDâEriq King, The Uâ.
Those were both moves that completely change the dynamic of the next season.
Nothing changed IMO. King hardly played in 2019,and the QB that did is still here. Now if Tune left and we were expecting King to return, then yes, the dynamic changed. Most here had him gone (see the many âhe goneâ posts). Now that he actually left, the dynamic canât be all that different.
Maybe not all that often, but we have been getting more in than guys leaving, and thatâs something people should be happy about. It could be a lot worse (nearly OT: aggy has one scholarship runningback ).
The latter will probably be dependent on how heâs treated by the fan base. I will say weâre not off to a good start!
It changes the dynamic if CDH was expecting him back. If not, Iâm sure CDH has been planning for it. I guess him leaving before the billboards went up is a positive.
During the Tulsa game the Power House commercial ran and Chris Harris pulled the jersey out of the locker instead of King. I think they were well ahead of this in that department. lol IDK friend. I canât pretend that this all isnât bitter sweet because it is. There are reasons to be disappointed with King, but I can think of more reasons to be proud of the guy as well.
Hereâs the change.
I really wish I was a person who could genuinely wish him well and hope he succeeds. Itâs just not in me. UH sports, and sports for me in general, is all about my gut. I canât fake it and I canât change how I feel. When I watch our guys itâs the same as when I watch my own kids. Seeing someone I rooted for so hard up and leave just gets me in a bad spot. I know he fulfilled his duty here and itâs his right to go elsewhere but still.
With me, itâs the WAY he did it. Thatâs what p**d me off. Bad PR for UH.
Frankly, he wasnât suited for Danaâs system. I was frustrated with his play last season.
I think it would look worse for CDH than it would for UH. I mean, Kingâs had just as many coaches as the Browns, prior to CDH and now he leaves. Whatâs the new variable that the public will attribute the change to? CDH. It may have just been a bad fit, and I can understand that. But it is also important to realize that UH has been a place people want to transfer to. Having high profile guys leave is new but not going to be a prevalent thing.
I had to revisit this because I found something I thought might give you a little chuckle. lol
Either way King used us. Itâs not a good look (redshirting seniors to let them transfer).
We were ranked #91 in passing offense. We didnât run the air raid. The offense last year was ground and pound to take as much time off the clock as possible because CDH knew we didnât have the depth to compete for 4 quarters. I think he will open it up much more this year.
can we take this down already?
