Houston we have a problem!

[Big Z]

Dana Holgorsen fired as Houston football coach after five seasons, AP source says | AP News

[Cougar King]

He had to finish 6-6 and make a bowl in order to get another year.

 

Didn't happen. He had 5 years in this program and 2 years to prepare for the Big 12. Time to get someone new.

What coach would you want now?

Not a good day to be named Dana.

UTEP just fired Dana Dimel.

Ohz noez. I'd hate for you guys to look at stealing Morris and Caponi. 

[Wag Tag]

UTSA coach?

[MeanGreen22]

The UTSA fans already out in full force saying “LaTeRaL mOvE”.

The main candidates are said to be Fritz, Traylor, Patterson, Kingsbury and Stein.

 

I personally say either Fritz or Stein.

Houston's investments determined that was a lie. I think that's the logical hire though considering the location and Traylor's connections. Seems like a good fit, IMO.

Would Houston look back at Tom Herman?

Kill's health is the only thing holding him back. He had a P5 job and had to leave because of it.

If Jerry Jones can induct Jimmy Johnson to the Cowboys Ring of Honor, any bridge can be rebuilt.

There's this caponi guy who I hear is an amazing up and Comer. Just needs bigger players like Houston has. Maybe start spreading the word...

Honestly I doubt Kingsbury or Traylor would be good at Houston. I have my doubts that Patterson is capable to adapt to the NIL era. But Fritz would be an interesting experiment. Just not sure if he really is chasing the bag. If he is, then Houston can certainly outbid Tulane.

I hope they take Kingsbury.

[southsideguy]

I thought Kingsbury moved to far east?

Fritz would be good but he is old.  Traylor is old too though.  Seems like Houston needs a younger guy with energy.  The type of energy you need to rustle a steer or, heck even ride a bucking bronco!!!

Lol you are delusional if you think Traylor or Fritz would take a sideways movement going to a really bad "power five" program. 

Kingsbury is public on how much he hates the recruiting aspect of college football so big doubt there. 

[greenminer]

I think it'll be Fritz or Traylor.

Jeff Traylor would take it in a heartbeat to get out of the hole that is UTSA.

As much as I hate UTSA, that job isn't a hole and they did very well the first year in the AAC. No reason to let off that momentum unless you don't think you can replace Frank Harris (though I would argue their success isn't tied to Harris). I guess this would be a convenient exit point for Traylor with Harris leaving though. I don't see it.
