Well, I have mixed emotions here. On onehand, I get excited about possibilty of having him here, on the other hand, his record at WV was not that good and would get him fired here.
2011: 10-3
2012: 7-6
2013: 4-8
2014: 7-6
2015: 8-5
2016: 10-3
2017: 7-6
2018: 8-4

Bowl record: 2-5

That’s 2 good years, and the rest don’t meet the 9+ wins required to meet our new standard for staying at UH.

This is exactly my point. Similar results historically for the schools’ individual records, yet we are going to pay one guy double. It’s Tilman’s money. He can do whatever the hell he wants with it. I understand (don’t necessarily agree, but I get it) the Applewhite dismissal after the bowl game, I don’t understand Holgorsen.

Look at the competition he played at West Virginia! Much tougher than what we play

I hate to say it but a Big 12 schedule is much harder than a AAC one, it’s not quite apples to apples. He did reasonably well while being at a school that is on an island geographically and isn’t in a great recruiting area. Going 8-5 in the Big 12 is kind of like going 10-3 in the AAC. In his tenure at WVU he has beaten several ranked teams (almost every year) and even this year they beat UT and TTU (who was ranked 25 at the time). Go back and look at several of those seasons, they were playing 3-5 ranked teams a year and usually an SEC OOC game, those records were actually quite good.

Same record despite moving from the Big East to the Big 12 sort of counts as a better record.

I’m not as excited about him as I was about Herman and have been about other candidates in the past, but I think some people are overestimating our other options.

There was a breakdown of Major’s numbers I read, I wanna say 14 of his 15 wins came against teams who ended the year with losing records, on the other hand Dana frequently beat good teams

I’ve eaten at the same ChicFilA several times over the past year, and I finally asked if the owner was in the house. I was told they seldom were in attendance . . . . . I usually eat there on Wednesdays about 4:30 to 5:00 PM and I would think if the owner was diligent, this time of day and week would require their being there . . . . .

That defense was Horrible.

8 - 4 with an AAC schedule is very different than 8 - 4 with a Big 12 schedule. You are not comparing apples to apples (no pun intended).

32

Absolutely
however, most of that has to be laid at the feet of Mike Stoops. His defenses have been horrible for years and they kept him in place thru the ut game !!

McNeil had some good defenses at TT.

In his short tenure at ECU, I don’t recall his defensive caliber.

BigXII resources, players and access is different. None of it is apples to apples.

Go back and look at his record vs Oklahoma, Oklahoma St, Baylor (pre scandal) and TCU during his tenure.

Traveling,
The Big 12 is not the SEC either. A lot of mediocre teams. I have this argument all of the time comparing the AAC vs virtually any other conference. The AAC is a tough top to bottom conference.

Is the Big 10 tough? Really, after Rutgers, Maryland, Illinois, Indiana, Purdue, etc.?

36

What’s you’re point? Those are programs with great coaches that we will never be able to get (or shouldn’t in Briles case), if you want a coach that has consistently beat OU then you’re basically talking about Saban

Are you trying to say that the AAC is a better or equal conference to the Big 12 in regards to football?

38

After the few top teams, yes.

How he does with BigXII talent and resources against BigXII opponents is comparable to how he would do against American competition.

That’s not how any of this works
