Zac Etheridge

UM has way more money for football. Hard to compete with them. Fritz will figure it out and win with less.

This and couldn’t sell his best Tulane players to transfer to Houston last year. Guess we have to trust the process. Oh yeah we also lost our stud DC to Tortilla Tech.

We also lost a stud like Anthony Holmes who was raised in Houston Aldine. We gifted UT their best receiver in years.

I’m sweating losing Keisean Henderson now lol.

Not sure what the deal agreed to this week paid but it’s easy to see UM giving him a nice bump. It’s curious why he came here in the first place though

Tech overpayed for Wood.
Fritz brought in Cooper and Webb from Tulane who were some of our best defense players.
In the end everyone gets to look out for themselves. I think the loss of Zac is worse than Wood and will set us back.

Losing a SEC coach is a big loss.

Let’s poach a DB coach from a G5 school! Bully them with our superior finances!

Yep.

Just as we get excited… college football giveth and college football taketh away

Fritz was out recruiting with Etheridge today. Awkward drive back to Cullen?

Probably in the 700-800k per year is my best guess

That’s what we are paying our OC and DC. Yikes

We paid Belk 1.1 million

Nagle and Armstrong will make 750k each.

If we’re not bowl eligible in 2 seasons I’m quitting Coog Football. Sick of the Coog farm system crap in the current era. The minute a coach or player is good, here come the vultures.

To be fair to UH athletics, we didn’t have a $150M football facility on the books.

Brutal loss. But I think the administration made it clear when our DC left for Tech that we are not in the business of giving everyone on staff pay raises after a 4-8 season. Fritz is expected to come in and turn this program around with the resources that were made available to him.

We gave Zac a pay raise and title change.
What is clear is that we are not going to get in bidding wars over these coaches
