Coaching Search at UH

[kentkel]

I read on ESPN that Kiffin, Miles and BRILES are potential candidates. If you are Houston and you really want to be a serious candidate in future Big XII expansion talks, do you hire Briles? Should UH go with Briles, would that immediately take them off the table should expansion talks heat up sometime in the future?

I hear they're leaning towards Bart Riles instead

Art prolly won't coach any time soon.

I feel like Kiffen and Miles won't accept a non P5 job, but if they pay enough it could happen.

At least someone gets it. Stop that nonsense before it even starts. I hope that Briles never gets another opportunity in college. But I'm sure he will. Dave Bliss even managed to get another gig (remarkedly currently at a Christian school).

Until Briles is cleared in a courtroom of any wrong doing, not sure any school is going to hire him as a head coach and probably as an assistant. He would be too much of a distraction to his new program.

IMO his best shot to coach in the future is in the NFL as an OC. He might make a lot of sense with the LA Rams, Cleveland or Jax.

UH is a quality job and more desirable than Indiana or Purdue.

Have felt for some time that Art would return to UH.

Well you were wrong.

Pending approval by the UH President, Lane Kiffin headed to Houston.

No idea how that guy got another shot this quickly.

You know you're damaged goods when people take time to specifically and publicly exclude you from the candidate pool. That's fantastic.

If he couldn't make it work at Rocky Top and U$C...

...which are both better jobs than this...

...though with much higher expectations, however.

He was only at UT for 1 or 2 years? USC was under sanctions with scholarship issues.

I am guessing he learned a lot the past few seasons with Saban and he has the potential of being a great coach. If he does not have success, this will be his last chance for a long time as a head coach.

Houston is just a stepping stone for a solid P5 job. If he is successful, he will be out the door within 2 years.

There are 10+ P5 jobs that are inferior to Houston if they are willing to pay, as it seems they are.

Tenn fans loved him when he was there. What hurt him there was him pulling a Gene Chizik on them and abruptly leaving for USC. What he was building there was actually pretty good.

USC on the other hand...

You won't find a much easier program to be successful at than Houston.

And that was supposedly what Houston was trying to avoid happening again.
