re: Matt Mascona's surprising suggestion for OC if Cam bolts...

Major Applewhite were the OC, Les would make him Lieutenant Applewhite.

I don't get the obsession with Major. I feel like the aim should be to hire as close to a sure thing as you can get and that ain't Major. I think he's probably a better OC than he was in 2007. I'm sure he has learned from herman BUT there's no guarantee.

Now if you wanted to find a way for a guy like that to come on as a position coach, I'd be all for it. Cam and Les are supposedly visiting spread teams. Why not fill our running back coach vacancy with a guy from a spread team who can help them implement a new offense? Oh by the way, he coached RB's for five years at Texas. Would love to have him as a RB Coach/Passing game coordinator. Just don't think I want him calling plays.

Financially, it works for both parties. Dude is only make 300K at UH. We could double his salary and still save $100k.
