Yet, as I posted earlier in this thread, the offense still produced.

If you want to be concerned about something, be concerned about his defenses. They've been pretty bad.

If I had to take one of the Houston guys, I would choose Briles, since he's the one who built it for Sumlin to succeed.

I liken Sumlin to Caldwell in Indy. Pretty lame duck coach in a good situation.

i think sumlin is solid at worst. he did really well in 2009 year with keenum. you can't just replace a great QB at a school like Houston. BSU would have lost some games this year had moore gotten hurt.

i definitely prefer briles. he has the pattern of the guys who are winning. built/won at UH. built/won at baylor.

plus, briles obviously has a lot of recruiting ties to TX, esp houston

i think THAT was the one that got me remembering to check his post patterns

oh, and the fact that he responds in italics makes it easy to spot out his replies

As opposed to, let's say, all the gorilla lips and gorilla nosed kids in Louisiana that Wilson is recruiting to play OL for LSU........

To be fair, Houston wasn't dead when Sumlin took over. Briles did well enough there to get the Baylor job


Correct. Briles took Houston to 4 bowl games in the 5 years he was at Houston before he left for Baylor. Briles is the one that rebuilt Houston, and Sumlin has maintained the success. This year was an abberation.
