If the hires make our program better, then I’m all for it. Anyway, innocent until proven guilty.

$400k is only $50k more than FAU where he was the highest paid assistant in CUSA

Better conference and back in your home state.

We are using him, he is using us. Glad he signed a 2 year deal because he will only be here 2 years max successful or not. If it wasn’t for the scandal this guy would be a P5 head coach right now, no doubt. We’ll use him for his great offensive mind for 1 or 2 years and he’ll move on. However, the impact on our offensive philosophy, scheme, and success could be felt around here for years to come.

I hope the Blaze was fixed right. It’s business is about to pick up.

He gets back to Texas, better conference, and I suspect has more control over offense vs FAU with Kiffin holding play sheet on sideline.

And associate head coach title did he have that at FAU?

Hopefully your last statement about the offense is correct, if not, then CMA has to go.

If he has a good year and Herman can’t get his offense going, I expect him to be in Austin the following season to try and save Tommy’s job.

The good news is we have an heir apparent in Randy Clements to take over the play calling should Briles leave

Guess we will see how much of FAU’s success was Kiffin.

I approve.

Kiffin is an excellent offensive mind himself. I am hopeful Kendal learned a few things from him.

Oh man further irony of Texas needing UH to bail their sorry behinds out if that happens.

I don’t think Kendall leaves before Major, if successful. I see Major taking a job somewhere, much like all our other coaches. By naming Kendall associate HC Pez is setting up Major’s successor so we don’t end up with another Levine.
