Kayak is true
Sounds like Texas Tech is going to be adding SHSU OC Phil Longo to their staff. No idea if it means someone leaving or if they're anticipating using the 10th spot for him.

In that regards, the 10th assistant spot is expected to pass fairly easily. That means there's going to be lots of movement for assistants this year.

The real problem with it is that players cannot freely go to other schools and do not get paid, but part of the selling point in recruiting is going to a school to play for that particular coach. I don't think it says much about Herman either way, particularly when there aren't many places to go up from Texas.

I could have seen this maybe, I don't know, not out of the realm of possibility happening if this was his 4-8 year at WVU and he wanted to get out while Houston looked like a good place to end up.

It's like someone at Houston had the same thought in 2013 and just kept thinking it, ignoring that he's having his best year at WVU since they joined the big 12.

This hire has created a division in my home. I bought season tickets to UH this year and my wife really bought in and has become a big UH fan (she's an undergrad alum, and never really cared/paid attention before).

Tell her to get used to it unless UH finds a unicorn that is a great coach and doesn't have ambition to coach at a bigger school.

I wouldn't be shocked to see Dana leave here for Houston. I don't think he will, but it wouldn't shock me. His relationship with Shane Lyons seems to be pretty rocky, at best. They've yet to sign a new contract extension after Dana turned an offer down back in the Spring. If he wants out, now is the time.

On the other hand, Dana seems to genuinely like it here. Who knows.

Let's make "told them right at their eyes" a catchphrase. I enjoy that one.

IDK if Herman is gonna be the truth or not but it seems obvious that we needed to make a change and Herman is obvious choice as far as a guy who understands the football scene in the state of Texas.

I'm hoping he has the sense not to run Shane Buechele all the time but if he can coach up a 3rd string QB to championship level I guess that gives him license to get a QB murdered now and again.

I will give Texas credit. Although there were annoyed rumblings since like, day one, it was only a little over a week of seriously everyone knows he's gone before they fired him and then actually hired someone right away. This is much better than last time.

Bonus no sub-credible Saban rumors, or Tomlin, or whoever else was thrown around last time.

Not in any sensible world. Ole Miss lost a lot of talent in the off-season and lost it's best DB in the first game of the season. Their defense was young and bad and only a few good D players made it through the season intact. He's also coming off a 10 win season capped by a Sugar Bowl win. He also gets a chance to pick a new D coordinator, since the one responsible for this year's awful defense (and 2014's amazing one) is retiring. A good D coordinator and some more depth/better recruiting on D would go a REALLY long way to fixing the Rebels problems.

It's hard to believe that a team that got shithoused by State and Vandy jumped out to big leads on both Bama and FSU, but this is a team that managed to be both awful and great all at the same time. It's also a team that got worse as the year went on instead of getting better, which is the opposite of how Freeze's teams usually run.

I think disjoe nailed it - he's got at least the rest of Patterson's career to turn things around.
