    Shoot me now!

    We need an offensive minded HC. We know how Muschamp coaches without a decent OC. Im not even sure he can bring in a good OC.

    If they win, it won't matter... but yeah, Cougar football is synonymous with offense... you have to light up the scoreboard in this town to draw eyeballs.

    Prediction: Muschamp comes to UH, wins 30+ games in 3 years... Strong flops in Austin and Muschamp is hired away by UT... Donny hangs himself from the roof of Hofheinz Pavillion

    Muschamp would be great for UH. Y'all should be happy, not uncertain how you feel. Defense is going to go a long ways there and you can probably keep your pee-pee points Sumlin offense if UH plays its cards right.

    Not only that, but players seem to like Muschamp. Hiring him could really help recruiting.

    We already have an outstanding D coordinator in David Gibbs, whom we know wants to stay.

    Our offense has pee-pee'd out, and that's the main problem. There's nothing to say that Muschamp will fix that.

    The fact that Muschamp's name leaked after the interview (when the AD apparently asked for discretion) tells me that Muschamp is using this as leverage for another job.

    We thought Levine and Bush's offense was terrible. Offenses under Muschamp is terrible as well. His two OC's he hired (Weis and Roper) have flopped.

    Ditto the above.

    Wouldn't want him as HC.

    Offense stinks. 3 offensive coordinators in 4 years. Poor QB play too.

    Easy to say "Yeah! Just hire an OC and you'll be good!" QB situation here also a question mark.

    I can't live with these ultra conservative offenses, we need to open up the playbook.

    I just read a r/college football thread about the Muschamp Houston rumors, and they all think he'd be a great get for UH. There's a reason that so many SEC schools are desperate for him to be their DC, and they think that he's probably learned from his mistakes at Florida offense-wise. Not that they know anything about our football program, just interesting to hear an outside perspective.

    Almost any coach that has success at UH is going to leave. And any coach that fails at UH is going to be fired.

    If UH wants someone that will stay, they probably need to find a good older coach that other teams won't want to steal away if he has a little success.
