Losing to Rice a fireable offense?

There it is, he won 20 games excuse. What’s remarkably overlooked is 14 of the teams he beat had losing records

Our SOS for the 12-2 season was 102 out of 130 teams. Charmin soft.

Fact is, support for the football program has taken a major hit since he’s been here. His 2021 season showed signs of hope for 2022, but that went down the drain as that season progressed.

It’s not often you have a coach who is 2-0 in bowl games and 95% of the fans want him fired unless something is drastically wrong.

But look who we played. We had such an easy schedule it was laughable. Hell, we’ve played two G5 schools this season and we’re already 1-1 and we’re about to start playing P5 schools.

Only 2 of those teams didn’t win a conference championship. 1 of those finished 4th and 6th in the polls. The other finished 2nd and 5th and lost in the championship game.

Did we win a championship or finish ranked in the top 5?

Losing to Rice is one thing… but the WAY we lost is eye opening. Rice had us shut out for most of the first half. That’s got to be some sort of record for them…

Sam,

Among those handful of coaches that have won 20 games in the last two years, how many also had two bowl victories? I’m guessing that’s an even smaller subset.

I mean, a lot of us were disappointed with last season, but in the end, there aren’t too many coaches that can boast that credential over the last two seasons. It’s pretty easy to see why he was retained for this season.

That said…what I saw in the first half against Rice (not to mention the final outcome) was NOT acceptable coaching performance, in my view. CDH had better turn it around quickly and finish with a respectable season.

Otherwise,…it’ll be tough to justify retaining him.

Has Kingfish bought firedanaholgorsen.com yet?

I like how two of the suggested searches on there are fire safety and volunteering.

How many bowl wins does he have over teams > .500?

Yes it is but realistically you know he wasn’t getting canned this week…NOW…what happens if TCU is a blood bath ?

79

If we lose to Sam, which I think we will (IF we play like we did this past weekend) and he doesn’t get canned he never will.

80

Every bowl team he’s played at UH was .500 going in

Here come the excuses.

Holgorsen continues: “I encourage people to hang in there and support our players. We’re going to be a little bit of a work in progress here. Kind of knew that with so many new people.”

Bloomgren and Dana not to far apart I would expect Dana to be higher on the list than Bloomgren.
