Yes, but strake is a really sloppy drunk. 
Or so Iāve heardā¦ā¦kidding

Start taking away his duties and make him uncomfortable. Pez has to go FIRST and the new AD can tighten the noose on this guy. He n

Totally agree. The players are really playing hard. Theyāre not quitting. I firming believe the team is showing marked improvement. If we can only get the defense to step it up.

I keep on saying this COACH HOLGORSON HAS THE BEST FACILITIES AND THE LARGEST COACHING POOL $$ OF ANY HEAD COACH IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HOUSTON

They will probably quit after Texas embarrasses us at home especially if we also lose to WV, there will be no hope of salvaging any type of season and it will go downhill from there

We got it.
But thatās not really a fair comparison.
The relevant question is this: how do CDHās resources, faciliites, and coaching pool $s compare to the rest of the Big 12 and P5?
Iām guessing theyād be on the lower end of the P5, and probably in the bottom half of the Big 12.
That in no way represents a competitive advantage for UH against its current schedule.
That whyā¦while what you are saying may be factually correctā¦itās not exactly an apples to apples and oranges to oranges comparison with any predecessor, and is probably not the best basis for criticism of CDH. CDH may still be at a disadvantage in that regard versus most other Big 12 schools.
yesā¦unlike many on this board who are just happy to support the 'ole alma mater ā¦ I honestly believe we can be a power if we actually put the pieces in place.
All it takes is alignment and leadership.
The Astros were a meddling mediocre franchise for most of their existenceā¦and then Jeff Luhnow walked through the door and aligned the whole organization.
Do you honestly believe Pez and Holgs are those pieces?
TCU and Utah were also G5/ non-BCS programs when we were in CUSAā¦so tell me your excuses, Lambert

Heās the 6th highest paid coach in the Big 12 & his DC is making a million dollars. When he came in 2019 it was a mid P5 salary with our AAC budget.
Then heās just barely above the bottom half of the Big 12.
Where does he rank by P5 standards TODAY in terms of his salary?
No one cares where he ranked in 2019. Live in the present. Pretty sure heād be in the bottom half of the P5 today. And when it comes to facilities and assistant coach pool, heād probably be pretty far down there too. Hell, lowly Illinois already has a football facility similar to the one weāve yet to build. That should tell you where we are on facilities.
As I said, thatās not the best basis for criticizing CDH.
Itās better to look at his on the field performance against Rice, etc. to see just how much we have underachieved.
You forgot money, and lots of it. NIL, buyouts, facilities upgrades. We are way behind, but with Tillmanās help we are not that far behind.
Iām really surprised he hasnāt let Belk go this week as a scapegoat, he only makes a million, much cheaper to make that move than for Holgy to get fired
Iām probably gonna guess that with Big 12 revenue shares from media rights youāre gonna pay the coach more then you are paying Dana now but at the time it was a hefty contract. And if you want a true apples to apples comparison Dana was by far the highest paid AAC & G5 HC & he didnāt win anything
Maybe, but while we were in the G5, he did lead us to a Top 20 finish.
This year thoughā¦UGH!!!
Wonder if there is any pressure on Dana to turn things around this year? Is this bc the power to be told him heāll get next year regardless and heās just looking forward to next year, OR there is pressure and he canāt meet it and knows he is gone end of the year therefore no real motivation to succeed on the field or recruiting?
Either way some things are for certain, Dana has ruined this football program and loss some very loyal fans. If he is back, oof season tix sales will be bad like real bad.
That would be a move in the right direction for sure. Bump that salary up a bit and we could probably lure Todd Orlando back. He was our last descent DC
It depends on what you mean by āpower.ā I think itās fairly silly to think we should, for example, be competing for National Championships on a year-in and year-out basis, but we certainly do have the potential to be a consistent top-half team in the Big 12. Thereās no reason we have to be worse than the TCUs and Baylors of the world, much less the WVUs and the Arizonas and the Kansases.
Of course, thereās also the fact that to the best of my knowledge none of us on this board have the power to make the changes weād need to get there. For most of us, our choices are approximately a) support the team, or b) donāt.
Since Iām in a constructive frame of mind. Iād say CDH wants to play big boy football. Objectively, weāre not able to do that. Thoughts as follows.
- CTH was able to be successful on current roster, but not sustainable. Plenty of talent that was sacrificed for one season. Concussions and all
- Naghavi. Brought in to help OL. Maybe he needs a year.
- DL. Dot is not active. There is no one to step up. And btw the front four has no ability to pressure so maybe stop with pressure seeing as we aināt got any.
- Slot receivers and quick passes help. See first half of tech game.
- Defense. Belk should be fired. Orlando was much better. Missed tackles again and again.
- Blown coverage. On the linebackers. Again and again these guys are out of place. Maybe connected to point 3
This is THE STAT that is irrefutable and is only going to get worse by the end of the year. I mean seriously, I donāt see at this point how anyone could possibly believe and argue that CDH should still be here. I think Levine and Apple both had better tenures with MUCH less time and resources to address any issues. He is by far our worst coach, all things considered, in over 20 years. Yeah I said it.
