I would go back to the games if UH hired June Jones. At least the Run & Shoot is fun to watch.

I can see more coaches leaving. If opportunity knocks, they would go. Not a very good situation to be in as a UH football coach. Not knowing if you’ll be employed the next year. Also must be awkward knowing that your HC is only here because UH can’t afford to by him out.

How the heck do you get fired up?

Ellison?

Dave, Clune did fine as DC, probably as good or better than what Ellison could have done. Why Clune left is because he has no faith that Chow will be around after this season, and Clune (or Ellison) would be out on the streets again. Finally, hiring of Clune was not based only on his coaching ability – you know that.

Yes, cullyG, I thought after the 2013 season Rich Ellerson could’ve been a great hire after Army let him go as UH’s DC/Associate head coach … and then maybe eventually interim head coach, with the possibility of becoming the next permanent head coach.

At least Chow keeps giving you guys stories. Now we will have a bad recruiting season and he will blame the coaches for leaving. Next we will be down in season tickets and he will blame the fan support. He can be proud of taking a good mid major program to the bottom in four short years. He like a bad car that you keep because you still have payments on it. Sorry if anyone in upper campus really cares time to change that car.

A great Hire for UH would be Rich Ellerson if he is still available for the DC position.

Another option is to make both Gouveia and Powell co-coordinators.

I like the idea of Gouveia being promoted to DC not because of his successful playing career but his familiarity with existing players and experience in the scheme that was used last year. I think it would be an easier transition instead of an outsider who would be faced with a learning curve. Not to mention Chow’s hot seat status which would limit the possibilities for Clune’s replacement. Just need to find a secondary coach that’s willing to take on the task knowing that a coaching change at the end of next season might happen.

The constant belittling of the program is not conducive to our culture. I believe we should give credit to the “supporters” who engage in this activity. The reason why the program is in bad shape is because of the culture or lack of it. Urban Meyer said if our program doesn’t have culture we will fail. No truer words.
