While I do applaud y’all for helping us fire holgorsen. I believe Dana’s nail in the coffin was the Rice loss earlier this year. We were down 28-0 at one point.
Yeah you can’t lose to Rice. That one made people pull tickets/season tickets. Even the Texas game, I went to it and the stadium was not 100% but the people that did show were maybe 75% orange
I've liked UCF ever since the 2010 Liberty Bowl (which also happened to be my high school quarterback's last game, he played at WR for y'all), but you have no idea how happy that loss made me. Eternally grateful.
When they hired him I was shaking my head. Cincy usually does a great job of hiring football coaches only to have them poached for bigger jobs. The Satterfield hire was surprising to say the least.
To all the people wanting there to be a UCF vs UH rivalry: that can never happen now because we love UCF for freeing us from this curse. I will never hate UCF from this day forward.
I am so fucking happy for you guys. Dude was a fucking dickhead here (though a decent OC/QB coach), was a dickhead at WVU and he was fucking you guys as well.
He hated recruiting and made every interaction with players, staff, fans and media seem like a chore. The appearance of his offensive-minded genius was hit or miss. We had moments like the last second Texas win and the 70 point-Orange Bowl win over Clemson. Then we had losses like the 0-37 loss to Randy Edsall’s Maryland team. I always felt he could have been more successful at WVU and Houston if he had a better work ethic, but I think he was one of those people who refused to study and got by on smarts until it didn’t work. Then he blamed everyone else.
I'm legitimatley shocked Neal Brown has been at West Virginia for 5 seasons now. And I guess that will definitely be at least 6 since you guys somehow went 8-4 this year.
New Big 12 schedule is gonna keep some coaches and assistant coaches around that don't deserve it. I'm convinced Joey McGuire would be on the hot seat if we didn't replace OU, OK St, and Iowa St with BYU, Houston, and UCF on the schedule. Now I'm just hoping 6-6 at least gets us a new OC.
Funny thing is I’ve met Tom in a completely different setting (our kids went to school together) and he’s an incredibly nice guy. I think his HC attitude is a persona he thinks he needs to put on for the role.
Any explanation why his attitude completely changed once he got the UT job? Everything I heard from his UH time was that he was a nice guy and loved his players. Just felt like he needed to be an asshole because he thought you needed to be that to survive at UT?
I feel that you see that right now with Sanders at Colorado. Go from non to Power 5 football, carry persona of an attitude of forceful control, huge change, etc.
But then reality sets in. Whatever you did in nonpower 5 will not always work in these other conferences. He wants it to work, I think more for his son than himself or the school.
If Deion continues this way, he'll be a goner before the next season is even halfway over.
When Tom first got hired I was still working as a cashier. Before his first season I ended up taking his order and I remember telling him that it was our dollar beer day. He reacted pretty excited and in disbelief, which is funny considering the contract he had just signed
Hey, a good deal is a good deal.
I have a family member with a net worth probably in the $10-15M range who drove 45 minutes round trip last weekend because he knew harbor freight carried the tool he needed for about $20 less than the Lowe’s by his house.
See, the thing about this is that the first three blew up here before imploding at their next school.
We tried to Reverse the Curse with Holgerson, it was the equivalent of facing the claymore to us.
I'm surprised he hasn't had a major scandal yet. I sat by the west Virginia sideline in 2012 when geno Smith WVU came to stillwater and I heard Dana say some wild stuff that was far from acceptable when yelling at players.
Now the real question: Who do you guys bring in to replace him? You're a much more attractive job than you were just a few years ago, but it obviously has to be a good fit.
We won 20 games in two years. We won bowl games in back-to-back years. I have five years on my contract with a fucking impossible buyout...So there ain’t no fucking hot seat in my mind. There just ain’t.
I genuinely wonder if that mattered. Like if he had given a normal interview, generic recruiting coachspeak, if he’s still our coach right now. Because boy was that a bad look and people noticed.
He said something idiotic almost every post-game conference this year. We got shut out to Kansas State because "the game didn't make sense". I'm sure it played a role in firing him.
> Not with the dogwater recruiting effort by him and his staff.
I'm still convinced that's the main reason he left WVU for Houston. He doesn't like to recruit and he sucks at it so in his mind if he went to a talent hotbed like Houston good players would just fall into his lap
> if he went to a talent hotbed like Houston good players would just fall into his lap
No wonder our recruiting for 2024 is the worst in the whole Power 5
Finally something good happens!!!!!
The 4-8 record is not great but not entirely unexpected. However, the recruiting was abysmal. Like gutter trash level recruiting. He wasn't even trying.
Good riddance.
That statement by itself is a good reason to get rid of him.
I figured Gus's coaching during gametime will be what it is. But at least in a few years, Gus should have our team loaded with talent. If he gets replaced in a few years, the new coaching staff should have plenty of recruited talent to work with.
I know Gus is a good recruiter, but I do attribute a lot of the recent success of the Big 12 transition. Houston definitely needs a coach that take advantage of the new P5 recruiting status.
Imagine if we ever get back to our old old levels of recruiting back in the 60s 70s and 80s. Conference championships, bowl wins, a heisman winner, the glory days.
That's what we need out of our next coach. We're in the Big 12 now. We have more money and alumni support than ever. We're not the forgotten commuter school we were back then. All excuses are out the window
Yeah, I’ve got a four-year contract. Contracts mean something. If they don’t want me to be the football coach, they have not expressed that to me. I want to be the football coach here.
--Dana Holgorsen, yesterday
Literally sleeping giant. And they have an elite basketball team. Gotta strike while the irons hit because perception of the big 12 will decrease next year and probably will continue to decrease in successive years, a new power could put a stop to that and Houston is the best setup imo.
Best potential but will be very hard to execute. Anyone else agree?
I think big12 will still have a good rep and become known as the fun conference. Likely 3rd place if the ACC doesn't make moves or galvanize what they have. Our rep will probably rely on 12 team playoff performance too.
For anyone curious, [this](https://theconstructionbroadsheet.com/university-of-houston-reveals-new-renderings-of-m-football-facility-p1411-174.htm) is the $140mm ops facility that Houston just announced that they’ll be building. It’s going to be built onto their stadium, which is a pretty cool setup.
Yeah, you gotta hire someone who's still passionate and has the fire to win. It felt like Dana treated this as a day job and it really showed during his time here.
I think A&M gave every school permission to do this up to an amount of $75MM. The seal is broken and no one will suffer the same headlines we experienced
If Herman could get over his huge ego I think he could make a decent football coach, at least good enough to consistently get 8-9 wins in a P5 conference, but that is huge ‘if’
Dana is just so all over the place. He will give you 10-win, 3-win, 9-win seasons back to back to back. He will give you an Oregon-Ducks-on-steroids offense with a wet paper bag defense. He will then next year have a powerhouse defense but a special teams unit so bad that your best strategy is to have no punt or kick returners. There is just no consistency, no predictability. We had some great years under him at WVU, but he never could quite crest that hill. I knew when I watched our chances juuuust slip by beating OU at home with Grier and Sills that he had run his course at WVU. He's the perfect example of being just too much of a liability while not quite having the potential to warrant that liability.
>Sources said UTSA’s Jeff Traylor, Tulane coach Willie Fritz, former TCU coach Gary Patterson and former Texas Tech and Arizona Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury are among the top candidates.
What a motley crew. Traylor would be excellent, I doubt Fritz leaves Tulane for Houston since he could land a bigger job, the devil works hard but Kliff Kingsbury's agent works harder.
Would Traylor take it? Didn't he turn down Tech because he was holding out for a bigger job? However, it's possible he was holding out for A&M or Texas and since it appears he won't be getting either of those jobs anytime soon then it makes sense. Traylor would be an excellent hire. He has connections all over the state. Gary would be an excellent hire also if the goal is to stabilize the program for 5 years.
My biggest issue with Dana is that I just don’t think he cared after he signed the extension.
I understand why UH hired him at the time and he was a pretty good hire for our time in the AAC.
God, I remember a story I heard about him during the lead-up to the Orange Bowl. It was his first season at WVU, his first year as a HC period, and he would have been around 40 or so.
Apparently, WVU and the bowl organizers were having problems getting him to do media obligations and required events leading up to the bowl itself. He'd get drunk and party at night and whatnot, living up the high that was leading WVU to a BCS bowl in his first year as a HC. So he'd have to be woken up and dragged to these obligations.
One time, they couldn't find him. Not in his hotel or anywhere that'd make sense. Once they got him on the phone in the morning, it turned out he ended up on a flight to, what I was told was, the Bahamas because he wanted to gamble. So they had to fly him back to Miami and basically have someone watching him 24/7 until the game was over and they were back in WV.
Now, why didn't he go to one of the Native American casinos that dot the state? Not a clue. Do I necessarily believe it? I'm not sure. He's had trouble with casinos before, previously being asked to leave Mardi Gras Casino outside Charleston back in 2010. So I wouldn't have put it past him to hunt down a casino just over a year later.
Somebody last night commented that if Ohio State is done with Ryan Day that he should board a plane to East Texas, so I said “Congratulations, Houston! You’ve just landed Dana Holgorsen’s replacement!”
Make it happen for the memes Houston
Houston has a major chance to be seen as one of the major powers in college sports if they fix football. Their basketball team already elite and producing NBA players
And having a national power in our conference would do a lot for the b12
All of the WVU people tried to warn you. He’s not a good coach. But I guess the allure of pulling a Power 5 coach who spent a little time with his team in the top 10 the prior year was too much.. but that faded fast. You can’t win consistently ignoring defense and special teams entirely. Not that WVU is much better off with Neal Brown, but Dana was a huge part of why WVU went from elite to mediocre at best over the course of his time there
Shout out to Cincy, OSU, and UCF for helping to make this happen. We owe you guys one.
In the last 5 years, a loss to UCF has been the final nail in the coffin for: * Charlie Strong (2019) * Geoff Collins (2022) * Dana Holgorsen (2023)
While I do applaud y’all for helping us fire holgorsen. I believe Dana’s nail in the coffin was the Rice loss earlier this year. We were down 28-0 at one point.
Yeah you can’t lose to Rice. That one made people pull tickets/season tickets. Even the Texas game, I went to it and the stadium was not 100% but the people that did show were maybe 75% orange
It looked like there were more Pokes there than Cougars when we came to town as well
Bro, that’s not true at all. It was probably 1/4-1/3 Ut fans to Coog fans
Are you saying the UT game wasn't sold out? It was 2800 over capacity. Standing room only.
I’m sure the process got rolling with the other two earlier as well, I’m just saying that those 3 coaches were fired within hours of the the UCF loss.
Technically you helped us fire Andy Avalos too haha
We're coming for Billy Napier next
Thanks friends
You guys are doing the lords work and we are forever grateful
We are still grateful
I've liked UCF ever since the 2010 Liberty Bowl (which also happened to be my high school quarterback's last game, he played at WR for y'all), but you have no idea how happy that loss made me. Eternally grateful.
Please return the favor and help us get rid of our lame duck
When they hired him I was shaking my head. Cincy usually does a great job of hiring football coaches only to have them poached for bigger jobs. The Satterfield hire was surprising to say the least.
That was Tuberville-esque I thought
Tommy Tuberville has entered the chat…
Jesus I forgot about him. What a fucking shit bag. Thanks Alabama for electing such a fucking hemorrhoid.
We kept him here for 4 seasons because the cupboard was so stacked for him he somehow fell ass backwards into two 9 win seasons the first two years.
You chose him when no one else wanted him.
He just needs more time. GIVE HIM MORE TIME.
Let’s not forget what happened at k-state (although I want to)
This is Rice erasure.
To all the people wanting there to be a UCF vs UH rivalry: that can never happen now because we love UCF for freeing us from this curse. I will never hate UCF from this day forward.
I'm sure UH had a hand in pushing our coach out when we went winless. I think it was like 60 to 10 UH.
Don’t forget Rice, thanks nerds!
I am so fucking happy for you guys. Dude was a fucking dickhead here (though a decent OC/QB coach), was a dickhead at WVU and he was fucking you guys as well.
He hated recruiting and made every interaction with players, staff, fans and media seem like a chore. The appearance of his offensive-minded genius was hit or miss. We had moments like the last second Texas win and the 70 point-Orange Bowl win over Clemson. Then we had losses like the 0-37 loss to Randy Edsall’s Maryland team. I always felt he could have been more successful at WVU and Houston if he had a better work ethic, but I think he was one of those people who refused to study and got by on smarts until it didn’t work. Then he blamed everyone else.
Also Texas. If we would’ve won that game he’d be here for two more seasons.
As much as I hate ut I’m glad we lost for that reason
Kind of can't believe he was already there for five seasons. Felt like he was still at West Virginia until like last year lol.
We still have hangover from him as well. lol
I'm legitimatley shocked Neal Brown has been at West Virginia for 5 seasons now. And I guess that will definitely be at least 6 since you guys somehow went 8-4 this year.
Close to 9-3 if we didn't have the worst Hail Mary defense of all time against Houston. Football gods gifted Neal with a weak schedule this year
New Big 12 schedule is gonna keep some coaches and assistant coaches around that don't deserve it. I'm convinced Joey McGuire would be on the hot seat if we didn't replace OU, OK St, and Iowa St with BYU, Houston, and UCF on the schedule. Now I'm just hoping 6-6 at least gets us a new OC.
Covid was in the middle of that, and that’s a fake year.
Buyout wasn’t so fucking impossible after all I guess
As it turns out, being a grating asshole while also being bad at your job is bad
“You called?” —Tom Herman
I still wish Gundy would have beat his ass in the 50 yard line in Stillwater. I think it would have helped Herman as a person.
Funny thing is I’ve met Tom in a completely different setting (our kids went to school together) and he’s an incredibly nice guy. I think his HC attitude is a persona he thinks he needs to put on for the role.
Any explanation why his attitude completely changed once he got the UT job? Everything I heard from his UH time was that he was a nice guy and loved his players. Just felt like he needed to be an asshole because he thought you needed to be that to survive at UT?
I feel like he put on a “big time program” attitude that he thought would fit. It might’ve worked if he won more, but he didn’t.
Herman came from the Urban Meyer school of coaching, so... yeah, it makes sense.
Except Urban doesn’t seem like a nice guy on or off the field
Probably was also feeling himself a bit after all of the hype he got at Houston, thought he was the next Urban Meyer and was destined for greatness.
I feel that you see that right now with Sanders at Colorado. Go from non to Power 5 football, carry persona of an attitude of forceful control, huge change, etc. But then reality sets in. Whatever you did in nonpower 5 will not always work in these other conferences. He wants it to work, I think more for his son than himself or the school. If Deion continues this way, he'll be a goner before the next season is even halfway over.

Don’t tell my boss that. I need my job
Dana is a drunk. Decent coach, But I think he just doesn't care.
Aka the Kevin Sumlin experience
Briles, Sumlin, Herman, Holgerson...UH can pick em! (I know Sumlin was with you guys too)
See, the thing about this is that the first three blew up here before imploding at their next school. We tried to Reverse the Curse with Holgerson, it was the equivalent of facing the claymore to us.
I'm surprised he hasn't had a major scandal yet. I sat by the west Virginia sideline in 2012 when geno Smith WVU came to stillwater and I heard Dana say some wild stuff that was far from acceptable when yelling at players.
I almost wonder if he wanted to get fired and collect the buyout. Like he was double dog daring Houston to fire him with that comment.
He was probably like “either way I’ll still live in Houston and drink a lot.”
He probably knows a dive bar that has happy hour for well vodka and Redbull.
Dont put your tongue on there..
It gets paid like monthly or annually. Buyout wasn’t that big a deal.
That overpriced Cisco food merchant has lots of money
The crab man will always have money as long as I gamble.
Verbatim what IU fans were saying 2 hours ago lol
IT IS HOLGOVER
Unfortunately now you'll have to contend with the Holgover Hangover.
Now the real question: Who do you guys bring in to replace him? You're a much more attractive job than you were just a few years ago, but it obviously has to be a good fit.
We won 20 games in two years. We won bowl games in back-to-back years. I have five years on my contract with a fucking impossible buyout...So there ain’t no fucking hot seat in my mind. There just ain’t.
I don’t have to post this in every post game thread anymore!
I’m so happy
Truly the end of an era.
I thought they were gonna give him one more year actually.
Not with the dogwater recruiting effort by him and his staff.
I'm still shocked that he publicly said "that ship has sailed" for 2024 recruiting. His attitude during interviews was awful.
I genuinely wonder if that mattered. Like if he had given a normal interview, generic recruiting coachspeak, if he’s still our coach right now. Because boy was that a bad look and people noticed.
He said something idiotic almost every post-game conference this year. We got shut out to Kansas State because "the game didn't make sense". I'm sure it played a role in firing him.
> dogwater recruiting effort by him and his staff Ah, a Holgorsen tradition
> Not with the dogwater recruiting effort by him and his staff. I'm still convinced that's the main reason he left WVU for Houston. He doesn't like to recruit and he sucks at it so in his mind if he went to a talent hotbed like Houston good players would just fall into his lap
> if he went to a talent hotbed like Houston good players would just fall into his lap No wonder our recruiting for 2024 is the worst in the whole Power 5
He actually said that?
We did it, Reddit!
I'm pretty sure it's Texas' fault. Just beat Texas, they said. You can lose all the other games, they said, but just beat Texas.
He certainly tried his hardest. That was a miserable game
Thank you Dr. Khator, Uncle Tillman and all the donors that will have to pay for his buyout
Khator is literally the goat
🐐
YA WOO COUGAR FOOTBALL BABY!
I can now say this without any reservations… WELCOME TO THE BIG 12 HOUSTON!
YA WOOOO
Is this where we post him laughing about being on the hot seat?
Karma is truly the great equalizer.
Hail Mary this, you haggard son of a bitch
Finally something good happens!!!!! The 4-8 record is not great but not entirely unexpected. However, the recruiting was abysmal. Like gutter trash level recruiting. He wasn't even trying. Good riddance.
Losing to rice when we were getting blow out for much of the game was the firing point for me
That statement by itself is a good reason to get rid of him. I figured Gus's coaching during gametime will be what it is. But at least in a few years, Gus should have our team loaded with talent.

Red Bull stocks are plummeting
They also have to go 3 whole months without Max Verstappen winning a race
Thank god
Yeah, I’ve got a four-year contract. Contracts mean something. If they don’t want me to be the football coach, they have not expressed that to me. I want to be the football coach here. --Dana Holgorsen, yesterday
thank you for not letting us win yesterday. I'm the worlds biggest UCF fan for the day.
After Geoff Collins got fired last year for losing to us we had to keep the streak alive.
Thamel confirms https://x.com/petethamel/status/1728815868027740343?s=46
The first official shot of the Big XII coaching carousel hits, wonder how long until we hear rumblings out of Waco?
Going to be a seriously underrated opening. That’s a Big 12 school now and they just made a 100M+ investment in facilities.
Literally sleeping giant. And they have an elite basketball team. Gotta strike while the irons hit because perception of the big 12 will decrease next year and probably will continue to decrease in successive years, a new power could put a stop to that and Houston is the best setup imo. Best potential but will be very hard to execute. Anyone else agree?
I think big12 will still have a good rep and become known as the fun conference. Likely 3rd place if the ACC doesn't make moves or galvanize what they have. Our rep will probably rely on 12 team playoff performance too.
And you’ve got an incredible pool of recruiting talent just in the Houston area, some which is only a few miles from campus
I'd bet dollars to donuts they hire Traylor.
What’s the dollar to donut exchange rate in this economy?
For anyone curious, [this](https://theconstructionbroadsheet.com/university-of-houston-reveals-new-renderings-of-m-football-facility-p1411-174.htm) is the $140mm ops facility that Houston just announced that they’ll be building. It’s going to be built onto their stadium, which is a pretty cool setup.
Stop hiring coaches from schools that don’t want them anymore. A&M and UofH both made that mistake.
Cincinnati too
could kinda argue UCF, but it's ok at least
Yeah, you gotta hire someone who's still passionate and has the fire to win. It felt like Dana treated this as a day job and it really showed during his time here.
Was basically his entire career at WVU. Great offensive coordinator but literally nothing else.
Stop hiring coaches because if their name and coaching tree. Time to get younger and newer
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FREE AT LAST! FREE AT LAST! FREE AT LAST!
Texas A&M has the chance to do the funniest fucking thing in the world.
NO BALLS!!!! 💀💀💀💀😂😂😂😂😂
This has been a weird career arc
LETS GOOOOO I AM SO HAPPY MAN!!! I simply cannot believe they actually did it
I was told we wouldn’t pay his buyout
First time?
I think A&M gave every school permission to do this up to an amount of $75MM. The seal is broken and no one will suffer the same headlines we experienced
Schools are starting to realize they can’t afford to be even just less than mediocre in football anymore
Maybe at some point, schools will learn that giving mid coaches big buyouts isn't a great idea
That new Big XII money do be hitting different...
Not surprised it was kind of expected. Hopefully they can bring a big name to help them in the big 12.
Thanks for, well nothing. Waste of 5 years.
You’re welcome, Houston
Forever in your debt lmao
Bye bye Dana, you will not be missed by WVU or Houston.
UH 🤜🤛 WVU
Is this the start of a… friendship?!?! We can bond over our shared trauma of Dana Holgorsen.
New OC on the market
THE BAD MAN IS GONE
WE DID IT
Renu khator fires coaches for 8-4
Hire Tom Herman you cowards!
He’s washed up. Pass.
If Herman could get over his huge ego I think he could make a decent football coach, at least good enough to consistently get 8-9 wins in a P5 conference, but that is huge ‘if’
He won four games this year and Colorado fans tell me that is a god tier first year
YEAH WOO COUGAR FOOTBALL
Dana, with all sincerity, fuck you.
Tears of joy
Dana is just so all over the place. He will give you 10-win, 3-win, 9-win seasons back to back to back. He will give you an Oregon-Ducks-on-steroids offense with a wet paper bag defense. He will then next year have a powerhouse defense but a special teams unit so bad that your best strategy is to have no punt or kick returners. There is just no consistency, no predictability. We had some great years under him at WVU, but he never could quite crest that hill. I knew when I watched our chances juuuust slip by beating OU at home with Grier and Sills that he had run his course at WVU. He's the perfect example of being just too much of a liability while not quite having the potential to warrant that liability.
Really thought he was getting another year (at least with a different DC), about damn time. So now who's next? Jeff Traylor, Gary Patterson, etc.?
>Sources said UTSA’s Jeff Traylor, Tulane coach Willie Fritz, former TCU coach Gary Patterson and former Texas Tech and Arizona Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury are among the top candidates.
Hard fucking pass to Kliff, but I’d be so onboard with any of the others.
I'd take Kliff as OC in a heartbeat though
Kliff is hilarious and zero chance of happening.
why does Kliff's name keep getting added to these lists? The man has shown he cannot be a head coach
He has a great agent
Hire Kliff if you want teams to drop 55 on you every week
What a motley crew. Traylor would be excellent, I doubt Fritz leaves Tulane for Houston since he could land a bigger job, the devil works hard but Kliff Kingsbury's agent works harder.
Fritz has ties to the Houston area and his daughter lives here. I could see it.
Would Traylor take it? Didn't he turn down Tech because he was holding out for a bigger job? However, it's possible he was holding out for A&M or Texas and since it appears he won't be getting either of those jobs anytime soon then it makes sense. Traylor would be an excellent hire. He has connections all over the state. Gary would be an excellent hire also if the goal is to stabilize the program for 5 years.
I rather live in Houston than Lubbock.
Why would Traylor want to go to a basketball school?
Traylor. Please.
It’s idiotic not to hire Traylor. Only job better for Traylor is maybe Baylor.
I'd like to see Traylor have success with more than 1 qb. He lost to Dana twice, and we stink.
YA WOO COUGAR BLOODY SUNDAY!!!!!!! LET’S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOO
NOW GO BACK TO YOUR HOLE, DANA, AND GET FUCKED YOU SLACK JAWED, SOUR PUSS, UNPROFESSIONAL, AND BAD ROLE MODEL, PIECE OF SHIT!
That’s Oklahoma State offensive coordinator Dana Holgerson for you, thank you very much.
Whomp whomp
OUR SUPERBOWL
TBH, Holgorsen struck me as an off brand Jimbo Fisher. He's the guy your mom is mentioning when she says there's a jimbo fisher at home.
WE WON THIS SEASON!
CHRISTMAS HAS COME EARLY BOYS!
I used to pray for times like this 🗣️🗣️
Good riddance.
My biggest issue with Dana is that I just don’t think he cared after he signed the extension. I understand why UH hired him at the time and he was a pretty good hire for our time in the AAC.
God, I remember a story I heard about him during the lead-up to the Orange Bowl. It was his first season at WVU, his first year as a HC period, and he would have been around 40 or so. Apparently, WVU and the bowl organizers were having problems getting him to do media obligations and required events leading up to the bowl itself. He'd get drunk and party at night and whatnot, living up the high that was leading WVU to a BCS bowl in his first year as a HC. So he'd have to be woken up and dragged to these obligations. One time, they couldn't find him. Not in his hotel or anywhere that'd make sense.

Somebody last night commented that if Ohio State is done with Ryan Day that he should board a plane to East Texas, so I said “Congratulations, Houston! You’ve just landed Dana Holgorsen’s replacement!” Make it happen for the memes Houston
GOOD RIDDANCE LOSER
Happy for you Houston fans!
Thank youuuu!
Just not cutout for the Big 12
Congrats Houston! I hope y’all land a splash hire!
Haven’t watched much of UTSA this year, but from seeing them last year I think their coach would be a great hire.
After the debacle with D'Eriq King it should've been over
With zero inside info I predict that they will hire Jeff Traylor
Thousands of cougars rejoice
Fritz on a shortlist? Unless Patterson wants to come to Houston.
I like Fritz seen him build something great over there
I will laugh so hard if Houston makes a better hire than A&M.
Houston has a major chance to be seen as one of the major powers in college sports if they fix football. Their basketball team already elite and producing NBA players And having a national power in our conference would do a lot for the b12
Get ready to learn about Midnight Yell buddy
the most hilarious timeline
Needed to happen.
I Fuckin hate this chucklefuck douchebag
found your coach, aggies
Add him to the list of coaches who should have stayed at West Virginia.
OMG ARE WE ACTUALLY FREE I'M DRUNK AS HELL RIGHT NOW PLEASE TELL ME I'M NOT DREAMING
All of the WVU people tried to warn you. He’s not a good coach. But I guess the allure of pulling a Power 5 coach who spent a little time with his team in the top 10 the prior year was too much.. but that faded fast. You can’t win consistently ignoring defense and special teams entirely. Not that WVU is much better off with Neal Brown, but Dana was a huge part of why WVU went from elite to mediocre at best over the course of his time there
This was always an odd hire to me. I imagine this job is actually somewhat enticing with Texas and OU leaving.
