Major Applewhite is Houston's Next Head Coach

[ShakyTheMohel]

I was thinking how smart Herman is. When he got to Houston, it was a decent team and Greg Ward was there. It wasn't a rebuild...he just needed to augment what they already had Now he takes over a loaded Texas team. I would guess that team would have won 8 games next year with Strong.

Herman is a great coach...and he will probably get 10 wins out of that team, but he has walked into great situations.

It surprises me that posters dislike of Kiffin has clouded their ability to judge him as a coach. He was not a disaster as a head coach in college. He has had two jobs as head coach in college. He left his first job on bad terms, but it was his choice. UT didn't fire him. He was at USC when they had sanctions. And he did a decent job there. He has had great success at Bama as OC. I would guess he has grown up a bit. He is still only 41.

I would take him at UConn in a heartbeat. Great recruiter and offensive mind. Sure he would leave after two years but he is exactly what UConn needs right now. We don't need safe.

With the players that Bama gets - you would be a great OC
Look at HCBD at Notre Dame
Give me 11 All Americans and see what I can do

So I guess you don't think he will do well at FAU? I think he is going to do quite well there and within two years he will be a coach at a top program.

Time will tell.

I don't think his coaching ability will be the problem. I don't think he'll be able to keep himself out of the headlines much longer. I know it's all heresay but go check out some Alabama forums and the stories floating around about the guy. I personally don't care, but I could see why major programs would

Why can't we have nice things?

mostly just rumors and supposed first hand accounts of screwing around with coeds and having multiple girlfriends, even when he was still married

Coaching at FAU and being OC at Bama is 2 different things
I never said he was going to fail
You lauded him as OC at Bama and I'm saying with that talent you or I could be successful

Houston should have gone with a defensive minded coach. Win with defense, ball control and get the game into the fourth quarter. Bend, don't break and keep the clock running.
