Finding a coach involves correct timing. This was the year to get rid of Dave and find somebody else. Competition really isn't that stiff this year
“Blake Shapen would be a Heisman candidate under Briles. You are a troll if you disagree.”

“Link or it didn’t happen”

Bingo. I'll be so pissed if UH ends up with him. That means he could have, probably would have, come here. But no, we had to give Dave one more lame duck year.

The competition would have been stiff this year. UH is in the XII now obviously. There is no way of knowing if Rhoades (not Baylor) would have been viewed as an attractive enough AD to work for. I sense he is viewed industry wide like he is viewed here.

I'll pencil that game in as a loss if they hire traylor. That would leave Dave as the worst coach in the big 12, right behind Neal Brown

Welcome to COPEenhagen. No one on here is saying that Traylor was a guarantee, but no, competition was sparse this year relatively speaking

I'll be right there with you.

The bad news keeps coming. Baylor leadership at an all time low. Sicem failing to interview Grant Teaff. After the Art Briles handling Grant might not be interested in an interview.

Do you not remember Teaff was in on the Briles firing as a consultant about what to do. Which is interesting given testimony about Jefferies etc a month or so ago.

I think he did say he was mislead about things a couple of years later but nevertheless....you better make sure you know everything if advising on a decision that monumental.

He's viewed pretty good industry wide as he won two different AD of the Year awards back to back a few years ago .

And he was very active in the realignment saga.

That being said I think it was a bad decision to keep Dave but it could have been no one we wanted was interested. Or at our salary requirements.

Traylor may also be doing the interview with UH to see what UTSA will then offer. That does happen you know.

I cant imagine Traylor being super picky then settling for UH. I guess it could happen but seems weird to me.

Man our AD is incompetent, they better hope this Dave Aranda stunt works out or he's out too. Hopefully Linda isn't a dumb*ss either.

This is all Mack's mess he got himself and BU into.

Aranda will be canned midseason. Linda better do the right thing next year and kick slapnuts to the curb too.

Industry wide I meant how he is viewed by coaches as potential boss. Maybe it is great. I dont know.

I think everyone knew or at least I would have thought that everyone would have known that Traylor was going to be a candidate at UH the second they fired the HC regardless as to what we did. So his interviewing should not be a shock. They could go in the direction of Patterson though who I had seen (not claiming it was credible or not) was seeking the job or someone else. The idea though that all we needed to do was fire Aranda and Traylor or whomever Rhoades' top target would have been was our's automatically is a bit absurd.

You mean 8-4 Neal Brown? That Neal Brown? I'd take Neal Brown every day and twice on Sunday instead of Aranda.

Neal Brown was Aranda essentially a year ago. Not saying the same thing will play out here here necessarily like it did there.

Neal Brown ended up a candidate for Kentucky a year later. It was during the Stoops era at A&M which occurred during the Baylor/WVU game.

WV avoided ISu, KSU, and Texas this year. They beat virtually no one with a pulse. They had a laughable easy schedule just like us. The only difference is they capitalized on it

Except he won 5 games and didn't go 1-7 at home

Apparently the UH athletic Director did not go sign a deal with Holgerson that was too big for his university to buy out.

I'm surprised that a bigger name didn't pick him up.

At any rate, UH is a program on the rise, ours is on the decline.

8-4 is 8-4. I'm very much a "You are what you're record says you are" guy, good or bad. Next year may tell a new story, but Neal Brown did a really nice job in 2023.

They won eight games and were a fluke pick in the end zone and Hail Mary on the final play from beating Houston and finishing 7-2 in league play.

On the decline - you mean that it can go further down?

Absolutely. He's a good coach. Guys like him, Justin Wilcox, Justin Fuente aren't bad coaches and were names I wanted us to interview when we hired Aranda.

Iowas 10-2 and no one with any football knowledge believes they're worth a crap. Records can absolutely be deceiving.
They beat 0 yes 0 teams that finished with a winning record. Like I said congrats to them they capitalized on a weak ass schedule. Something Dave sure couldn't do

Iowa isn't an elite team/program, but only a clown would say "they're not worth a crap." Their offense may be painful to watch, but programs that win are always better than those that don't. And Iowa has won 10 games three of the last five years -- with 8-5 marking its worst season in that span.

That's a top five program in the Big Ten under Ferentz. They're better than everybody but Michigan, Ohio State and Penn State most years.

Iowa fans themselves will tell you this team isn't worth a hoot. So that's a lot of clowns. But not surprising since anyone who disagrees with you is a clown.
Will agree to disagree. They're mediocre and that will be exploited next year when they aren't playing B10 W teams every week.

Actually Dave did

By all measures he likely should have finished 1-11

I don't follow. They beat 3 teams with winning records this year. They gave up more than 16 points once in 12 games. They are a pretty damn good football team. I assume you're up there so you would know if Hawkeye fans are happy.

Mediocre teams don't win 10 games in a Power 5 league. I don't like Iowa. I hate watching Iowa. But they win games. And you play to win the game.
