His recruiting staff will do most of the leg work. Hopefully he has, or will bring in some great recruiters.

We not only outrecruited Tulane for Willie, we outrecruited Georgia Tech and Duke.

Good job Pez, Renu and Uncle T!

I’m sorry, that’s incorrect.

The only acceptable response is ALL OF THEM.

Per ESPN rankings of all the P5 coaching openings this offseason… we are 3rd behind A&M and Michigan St… ahead of Miss St, Duke, Indiana, Oregon St, Northwestern and Syracuse. Let that sink in…

It was an excellent year to be in the market for a coach…

Indiana landed a good one in Cignetti.

If you watch his press conference on YouTube, you’ll be impressed.

A Nick Saban clone.

And apparently Mississippi State as well. I have heard that he’s always wanted the UH job. Maybe there’s some truth to that.

Cool. Everything just got better.

Thank you Twinmom ! Your solid,well connected comments, mean so much to this board.I feel even better about the hire with your information. I did notice that during Tulane vs SMU game Coach Fritz’s players NEVER quit ! They were smaller and being pushed around by the larger SMU portal guys. The Tulane Defense virtually played the whole game and were gassed . They of course knew about the UH job but played all out anyway. I think this is a clear indication of Coach Fritz’s motivational skills in a very difficult game.I look forward to our UH football future with Coach Fritz.
Go Coogs !

Either you’re messing with me or you completely just took this the wrong way… either way you kind of just made yourself look like a complete a-hole.

I was joking that we thought we were hiring Fritz but were actually tricked by Dana into hiring him again… I guess my humor was too advanced for you. And apparently 8 people understood the joke.

I’m actually very excited for Fritz and have not said anything about not wanting him. Not sure where you got the no one wants me here since I’ve been pretty liked for the last 5 years.

Also why would you think I was a tech fan??? That is very random lmao!

when do we get to know the details of the contract?

For those that wanted a younger coach, Patterson is the same age as Fritz and Traylor has to be in his mid 50s. Those were the top 3 picks for this board.
