Rumor. Strong done, Herman in

[BoilerBulldog]

Twitter verse is alive saying Strong has been fired but will coach out the year and Herman is locked in as his replacement. Who knows? YMMV.

Pass on Strong and hope Houston doesn't go after one of our top candidates.

Applewhite their OC would probably get the nod at UH unless he wants to go back to UT with Herman!

Rumor is Texas doesn't want him to come back. Relations with a student trainer while your wife is home pregnant isn't a good look. Also was named as an example in a race and gender discrimination lawsuit against Texas by former women's track coach Bev Kearney. She was forced to resign for having a relationship with a former athlete a decade earlier, while Applewhite was actually promoted and got a pay raise after news of his affair came out. Which prompted Kearney's still ongoing lawsuit. So it wouldn't be wise right now for Texas to bring him back.

Charlie was also porking a donor's wife back at Louisville.

Houston not getting into the Big 12 hurt them as it would basically be a lateral move for anyone not at a P5 job now. I have a feeling the fact that Texas wants Herman is what kept the Big 12 from expanding. Bringing Houston up to a P5 level and then why would Herman want to move when Houston is currently in a better place than Texas. Good lord is the Big 12 a mess, outside of Texas, it's really a P3 with the BIG, PAC and SEC, so really it's openings in those conferences that are really are competition. In other school it's just conjecture as to whether they will really have a seat at the big boys table in a few years and where that seat will actually be. Go to a P3 school, you pretty much know you are in and where you will be for awhile.

They do in Louisville. Rick Pitino nailed the wife of one of his asst coaches at a restaurant named Porcini's.

And news of that came out after he'd been TX's HC. Not during the hiring process.

I thought you needed a 300 page manual to communicate core values

Some look at Purdue vs. Houston strictly as P5 versus non P5. Others might look at the built-in advantages of Houston and the drawbacks of being low man on the P5 totem pole. Is it easy to make the CFP from a non P5 school? No. But is it impossible? Certainly not. But you have to go undefeated and do it convincingly. So is it easier to do that at Houston or bring Purdue to 11-1 or even 10-2 competing with the likes of Ohio St, Michigan, etc? I think more coaches would take their chances and $4M per year at Houston.

At the moment, maybe, but the landscape is changing quickly. If/when we go to 4 super conferences as most think is coming, will teams outside still have a shot, that is what you are gambling on.
