Wait, I keep forgetting what Gary Patterson is doing right now.

Looked, he is SAHC at Texas. Kelly needs to bring him to Baton Rouge and put him on the defensive staff or as an analyst. Definitely want his recruiting inroads and defensive knowledge. Make him the highest paid LB coach.

Why do teams keep doing this to themselves?

His ceiling will be 7 wins.


I started this thread on him a year ago about a month before Arizona fired him:

Kliff Kingsbury has been a head coach for 10 years. He has had just 3 winning seasons


quote:

Between college and Pro, dude only had 3 winning seasons in 10 years and just one in his last 7 seasons. And he just signed an 5 year extension. How is this dude still employed as a HC?

Head coaching record:

8-5
4-8
7-6
5-7
6-7
5-7
5-10-1
8-8
11-6
4-7


And this is someone who had Patrick Mahomes as a QB for 3 years in college

They'd be smart to hire Fritz. I bet it's already done, just waiting until after Saturday to announce.

It wasn't just Manziel. It was also Mahomes. But at some point, you have to win football games, which he hasn't ever been able to do as a head coach

Houston ain't Clemson or UNC though.


I agree. Other than money, I don’t see why Fritz would benefit by leaving Tulane for Houston. Houston is not going to dominate the Big12. Tulane will likely dominate the AAC and get into the playoffs more than Houston.

Have you seen the big 12?

It's absolutely up for grabs. Anyone is capable of becoming the dominant program. UH has resources. It could happen.

Team talent composite for this year
19 TCU
33 Utah
35 Colorado
40 Texas Tech
43 Arizona
44 Arizona State
46 Baylor
49 Houston
50 West Virginia
51 Cincinnati
53 Central Florida
The rest who the hell cares

Houston is 8 of the 16 teams despite having recruited those players mostly as a G5 program. They will get better players the longer they're at the P5 level.

I would honestly expect UCF to begin recruiting better as well.

The only lock I see to out recruit Houston going forward is TCU.

Absolutely no reason Houston couldn't become the big 12 power.

I think Utah is the safest bet as they recruit well compared to the rest of the conference and they have a great coach in place but there's no reason the right person at Houston wouldn't own the big 12.

Tulane also has a conference problem. The American is significantly weaker than it has been in the past after losing so many top programs.

Oregon State and Washington State will eventually be forced into the Mountain West and it'll get stronger and potentially overtake the American. The Sun Belt has also closed a ton of ground on the AAC with smart additions from FCS and stealing some CUSA programs leading to it's near collapse. The playoff spot will not be an AAC lock.

Houston is definitely the better job, but the one downside is the outsized pressure with respect to the program's actual status and standing. Khator's statement on firing coaches for going 8-5 a few years ago was beyond stupid. Would be interesting to see if 64-yr-old Fritz would be willing to sacrifice job security for a non-top-tier program with high potential in need of rebuild.

So he failed miserably at Texas Tech, even with Patrick Mahomes, but he’s going to do well at Houston?

If it was Traylor it should have been announced at some point during the week.

Solid comment on Reddit about the Kingsbury rumors:

"Fired Dana to hire young Dana with expensive sunglasses."

But nobody wants to look at Dana.
