Around the 17:20 mark he gets back into not having depth. He continues with the differences between a G5 and P5 team from a recruiting and depth standpoint. Then he reminds everyone that depth and recruiting will take time.
4 years as our head coach, and 2 years to sell “we are Big XII”.
Dana was hired to first get UH into a P5 conference. He and Pez worked recruiting and schedule to get good records to get the invite. Mission Accomplished.
UH has been able to use the B12 logo for TWO MONTHS. He has not been able to fully recruit as a P5/P4 until then, which includes nobody on the current roster. He upgraded his offensive line coach six months ago. OL takes time to learn the new blocking philosophy; and no matter how much practice you do, things are different when you line up against people who are not blocking dummies.
I am happy we are in the B12. Winning against teams who have been recruiting as P5 teams for years will take some time.
I had no expectations we would beat a team who played in the national championship game last year. I don’t expect UH to win a lot of games in the B12 this year.
I do believe things will improve with CDH in the next few years.
Our football record had nothing to do with us getting an invite to the Big 12, it was a last minute push by Tillman and politicians or else we would have gotten left out again. If our recent success in basketball as one of the most dominant teams wasn’t enough why would a cupcake schedule in football do the trick? If football was really that good then there wouldn’t be attendance issues.
Its been known for the past two years that we got accepted into the Big 12, that’s two years to sell to recruits to play P5 football in one of the largest cities in America but holgerson would rather use the portal.
We had a chance against TCU, our issue wasn’t a talent disparity between the two teams. It was horrible play calling and the the best QB that the “QB whisperer” has was a 3rd stringer at Tech. Literally all the analyst were talking about how much talent TCU lost from last years team, their best WR,RB,CB,LB, OC, etc….
How many more years can the university afford to give CDH
