Whoa! Good move

 

[mavericksouth]

Helps with Devonta Smith

Wow, Houston willing to roll the dice on Kiffin. Bet he ***** this up too.

 

[919cane]

LOL at someone hiring Lance to be their HC. This will end badly.

 

[firstandcanes]

If Lame ***** this up, with what Herman left behind, then he can kiss any major head coach job goodbye forever.

 

[CANE1775]

That is going to be a disaster. The minute he steps foot on campus, he'll be looking to move on to something bigger and better

You could've said the same for Herman.

it's houston what do you expect? especially with no big 12 invite no successful coach is going to be looking to stay there long term, this is not a bad hire for that program.

If Kiffin f's this up, he's straight garbage. He's walking into a pretty cherry situation. That team has talent that's head and shoulders above a majority of their conference, their administration is serious about football and he's got a chance to capitalize on recruiting right away with Texas, TCU, Baylor and Tech all sucking currently. Even A&M has been up and down. He just has to keep the ship pointed in the right direction.

So will Tosh go with Kiffin's Kougar Korner or Kiffin's Cougar Hunt?

 

[Notsince1985]

Aside from Tony Levine, Houston's had, Art Briles, Kevin Sumlin, Tom Herman and now Lane Kiffin. I think they're fine with being a stepping stone if it means winning 9-12 games every year.

That seems like a great fit for him to revive his HC career. They are on the up and up, can recruit some big boys but arent considered a big time program. He will have a longer leash compared to a Power 5 IMO. Well, maybe the oil money speaks loud there..

Interested to see how he does.

According to that article, the decision hasn't been made yet.
Link title is misleading af lol.

They also finished 4th in the AAC West this year. Now, to be fair, the AAC West was rated better than the SEC East, but still.

Except Herman is actually a good coach and left them better off. Do you think they will be able to say the same for Kiffin?

You guys may not realize this, but there's actually a precedent for a team doing well with changing coaches every few years.

Did you skip over post #12 in this thread?

 

[jevoasis]

Lol...what could go wrong with hiring a lazy, entitled coRch with limited facilities and less clout than he had at the other plane crashes he piloted

 

[da truth]

If your going to coach a non p5 team, Houston is arguably the best one to coach
