This year’s OC choice leaves me unconvinced of this argument.
It’s also possible this is all just Signing Day BS.
I think Ryan posted on here that the $750k to fire him was not coming out of the athletic budget. Something along those lines.
I do agree there is $ to give him a raise, and he deserves it.
Late choice and not his first

If we let a conference rival poach our DC over a few hundred grand then have to ask WTF are we doing?

Lmao “scenic” Lubbock 
I know our concrete & metal blocks built atop swamps & marsh aren’t exactly Nature’s gift to Humankind, but it sure beats prarie dogs & dry, desert-like land
The point remains - he won’t just have his pick of whomever he wants, especially if a guy who performed well makes a lateral move in-conference.
We made sure nobody poached Belk with that Million dollar contract
Right, Barbay’s buyout was paid by private support. That is why can’t see Wood getting paid some absurd amount that we can’t match. If he is then we’re better off spending on NIL imo
It won’t be like Barbay, which was the point you were trying to make
No, the point I did make was that Fritz doesn’t have a bunch of top-tier coordinators sitting around waiting for him to call them.

He has more connections than our previous coaches by far. He’ll have candidates that actually have experience
If we can’t keep our successful coordinators from being poached by the Texas Tech’s of the world, we should just pack our bags and head back down to CUSA.

Don’t see any talk of this on their fan forum
Coogfan with the Tech scoop. Inferiority Coogs unite
Why would you leave Houston to go to Lubbock, lateral move, makes no sense to me unless we weren’t willing to pay
Wonder if Fritz saw this coming

This be a dumb career choice. Had one of the best defenses in country at UH in the City of Houston where can drive hour any direction to recruit defense, yet you decide to leave and go to Lubbock out of middle of nowhere? Tech cant be paying him that much more. Tech is going nowhere while UH is trending up.

Looking for a new one but i hate to have Tech poach a good one. Does not inspire confidence but lets see how it plays out

He gone
If the philosophy is the same then might promote a defensive position coach to keep the defense philosophy similar.
