UH Chooses Continuity over Flash in Choosing Major Applewhite as Head Coach

UH Chooses Continuity over Flash in Choosing Major Applewhite as Head Coach

By John Royal

Not mentioned in this article:

  1. The only job Lane Kiffin was able to land was HC at Florida Atlantic. Maybe he wasn’t such a home run hire after all.

  2. Les Miles still doesn’t have a job (that I know of). That should say something.

  3. No one else hired Lincoln Riley either. Wonder why that is?

I did not expect us to hire Applewhite, but now that it’s done, I’m glad we did. When I heard that Houston area HS coaches called UH during the process to express their support of CMA, that was all I needed to know to convince me he’s the right guy. Applewhite will be able to recruit just as well as CTH as long as he’s winning ball games. My only area of concern at this point is who his staff will be. I really hope we end up with a couple of area HS coaches as position coaches. How about Manvel and North Shore? Those are 2 pipelines I would like to see firmly linked to UH.
