Nobody who is a head coach in a stable situation is going to want to step into this. They’d be starting late going into a rough year at a school with a fickle fan-base and a trigger-happy administration.
Even coaches that would say yes next November are more likely to say no right now.
I’m not sure Holgorsen should come to Houston. There are a lot more things to do here than in Morgantown. If his thing is drinking and women, he’s going to be in the news for the wrong reasons. Of course if he goes undefeated, everyone will overlook his extra curricular activities.
I believe you have an inflated version of our school and how many coaches want to come here. If we are going to get a championship coach it will be from CUSA at best
Pelini is the reason even Scott Frost didn’t have a winning season. Mediocre x and o guy, below average recruiter (despite being at Nebraska), terrible developer. Nebraska fans have most of the same complaints we have about Major.
Yet you’re demanding a coach who has won championships?! Holgerson would be a great hire despite his failure to win the Big 12, the last 6 Big 12 championship coaches consist of 2 guys who are retired and are not coming back, especially for us, the current OU coach who is linked to NFL jobs and Briles who will not be hired here for a number of reasons. Holgerson has compiled a team that is ranked every year and performs pretty well all while being in the middle of no where in a state that is not known for producing great football players
Maybe we have the timing backwards but let’s publicly announce our new coach today and then email Applewhite on Jan. 1. Happy New Year Major! Thanks for playing.
