Message: [QUOTE="Hoophound, post: 2976917, member: 271"] I think Houston stole Holgerson from WVU. I also think that if WVU hires Brown, they’ll be very happy with this turn of events. Fickell should stay at Cincy. It is another good job. Plenty of talent in Ohio and it suits him well. The schools with a lot of support from their ADs and local talent offer a great opportunity. Houston, Cincy and UCF are proving year after year that you can win and most likely keep your job and have a happy fan base in those locations. Houston is definitely being demanding, but everyone wins there, so it’s hard to blame them for getting picky about having a 10-2 record most years. A really good coach is probably going 9-3 or better at UH every year. I think we’ll see more P5 coaches look at jobs in the American if they are a good fit. The AAC is a relevant football conference. I rarely even hear ACC or SEC fans disparage it any more. Edit: to Whaler’s point. Houston paid. Money talks. Still, Holgorsen had to leave a respectable P5 school to take the Houston job. He wasn’t scared of a “demotion”. [/QUOTE]
