This is generally the same theme coming from every sportswriter. Even Tillman’s comments about Briles today did not elicit a positive response from the sportswriters and all he was basically saying that Briles probably wouldn’t be hired because we couldn’t vet him properly.
As for Briles, it’s the easiest decision UH will make. Stop talking about him. Stop attaching his broken name to a university on the rise. Stop appeasing a couple wackos who already have forgotten 2007 - and Baylor’s massive sexual-assault coverup in Waco.
Let Texas Tech hire Briles. UH needs to stay away. He was great to rebuild the Houston football program but he is not what the team needs at this juncture.
Briles is one of the top three of four coaches in all of football. If he wants to rehabilitate his image, might as well be here.
Him or Dana would fit just fine. I’d love either of those. After that, for me, it’s a picket between Les Miles, Major Applewhite and Todd Orlando. In order.
Rehabilitate his image at the expense of the reputation of the University of Houston? You must be crazy, stupid or a troll. Maybe all of them. Get lost.
I wouldn’t want Briles either. That said, Brian Smith is a garbage writer. Regardless of who we hire, he’ll be taking his shots of the hire within a month. His opinion means nothing.
I’ve got a daughter. In no way, shape or form would I let her attend UH with the history of the predators that Briles recruits. And the sad thing is he got good guys when he was our coach. He just let winning blind him.
I think the media is blowing the chances of Briles getting hired way out of proportion. Tillman is bringing up Briles because he is being asked about him. He is giving a political answer because we have other big money boosters that want Briles badly. Tillman is trying to ensure that they don’t get upset, but I don’t see him having a chance of getting hired.
