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.No Quarterback said:
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

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.

Industry wide I meant how he is viewed by coaches as potential boss. Maybe it is great. I dont know.Stefano DiMera said:
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.
You mean 8-4 Neal Brown? That Neal Brown? I'd take Neal Brown every day and twice on Sunday instead of Aranda.No Quarterback said:Rg6 said:Bingo. I'll be so pissed if UH ends up with him.

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
Neal Brown was Aranda essentially a year ago. Not saying the same thing will play out here here necessarily like it did there.mcleod66 said:You mean 8-4 Neal Brown? That Neal Brown?

Traylor to u of h book it
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.IowaBear said:
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
On the decline - you mean that it can go further down?Realitybites said:
At any rate, UH is a program on the rise, ours is on the decline.
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.bear2be2 said:8-4 is 8-4.

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.
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.IowaBear said:
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
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.IowaBear said:

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.IowaBear said:
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.
