We should extend Kellen and give him a pay raise while including a buyout in the new contract. I would make it for five years.
Wouldnāt that mean itās a sellerās market?
Not in my mind. Kellen would be the one buying and TT would be the one selling.
I donāt see why TT would go with an unproven head coachā¦ No offense to Kellen, but heās never had the pressure and responsibility of having the FULL program in his handsā¦

I really hope kellen wouldnāt move his young family to Lubbock.
His wife, sister and mom look like houston is treating all of them very well.

I know everyone is looking for the next good opportunity but the way Tech has treated Mark Adams who was the darling last year is really unbecoming of a decent university.

The honeymoon was over when TeeTee lost its first 8 or 9 conference games not to mention the episode with the big transfer center.
Tech went fishing for reasons to fire him and ironically the Greatest Book ever got him.

I personally donāt want him to go to Tech because I donāt think heāll win big there for two or three years. If Kelvin were to retire when Kellen was in a down cycle thereās no guarantee theyād bring him back.
Kellen is not going to TTech. That bird is not flying. Wheww 
The way Adams treated Tech beginning in the fall and continuing through the season was worse. He quit recruiting, ran off the donor base, skipped out on the team on a road trip to be with his honeypot, and a number of other things. Letting him resign and paying him $4MM was far from āunbecoming.ā
TT could back up the Brinks truck and Kellen would not go to Lubbock.

Finally a post I can put a " Like " to.
Itās not a good fit for a number of reasons.
He cut his teeth on the tumbleweed wranglers, and then dump them and comeback to us when CKS IS READY TO RETIRE.
Hereās my thought. I see absolutely No way that Kellen would do that to his Dad, Mom, etcā¦ where the two would be put as adversaries against ea other. From a Coaching standpoint,competing in gms, Recruiting , twilight of Dadās career.
Sorry, i just donāt see it. The Family atmosphere the Sampsonās have built at UH is unique and not broken up easily.
Kellen will be the next HC at UH. My prediction is Dad retires at 70. So the 2025/26 season will be a transition year imo.

Thereās always a 1% chance of happening, but that doesnāt mean it should have wings.
Should he just tell them upfront in the Interview process. 
Not happening.
Iād be going after Shaka Smart if I was TxTech.
He has a proven track record of winning, regardless of Conference, and Iām sure heād like to coach back in a P5, which would surely come with a significant $$$ increase.
