    Sucks for ward to end his season like this. Good luck when he's a sixth round pick of the Patriots.

    Major better hire a hell of a D.C. This looks like the UH team that lost to Navy and SMU.

    No adjustments.
    No creativity.
    No running game.
    No statement.

    Outcoached.

    This was like trying to crawl up and snuggle in a platypus' ass for the view.

    U do realize the coogs had 5 coaches (instead if 11) on the sidelines? And their D coord. is on his way to Austin as soon as they land back in Houston. Hard to prepare for football games like that.

    That's probably the Khator gambit, hire and fire cheap and easy, then save some cash and hire big if it doesn't work out.

    Embarrassing. Ward had such a great career as a coog and to go out with 4 picks .... yikes. Actually looked better as a junior

    I don't think UH had much of a choice. I don't think the job is as attractive as people think. Look at the finalists. Unless there were secret candidates, they were internal - Applewhite and Orlando - or had baggage - Miles and Kiffin.

    Not a great result, but also not exactly unexpected given the coaching turmoil.

    Major cannot be the OC and play caller from the sidelines.

    Orlando, well, we all know what's up there.

    A fun but weird season.

    Herman set a bar (NY6 bowl win) so high that it's going to be difficult for another coach to top.
