I didn't feel like going back that many months and digging through the threads but I distinctly remember being smirked at when I predicted UH would do something similar to this. I just think it's a good time to revisit now that Herman signed the extension, I know it doesn't mean much because the buyout isn't overly outrageous but he still signed it.

I think if UT fires Strong in the next couple of years that he goes back to the place he was a GA, but if not UH could be on the verge. I think one of two things has to happen to keep him for a Gary Patterson type program re-build. The playoff has to be expanded to 8 so that UH would have a legitimate shot at being eligible for a playoff spot, or UH has to get invited to a power 5 conference at which time Herman picks up a $5 million escalator written into his contract.

The longer Herman is there the better players he will get due to the basically non-existent admission standards, but it's going to be interesting to see how UH stacks up physically with FSU Herman's first year on the job. If you remember before the season he was complaining about the lack of D1 players he had on his roster.

UH will be much more motivated than FSU. It's hard to get a true reading from these meaningless bowl games.

Herman is a Head Coach in Waiting for some P5 school.

UH needs to be more consistent attendance wise. Lots of empty seats when they played Temple.

That was what surprised me.. I actually thought that place would be filled but it wasnt..  I think UH will hang in there but I think Cook will be WAY to much for them this year. If Herman is still there in 2 years I think they will have a defense that could slow Cook down. Just not right now..

I went to the SMU game and it was about 2/3 full.  That was with the Texicans and the Astros playing in Kansas City onnight.  I think they will start to pick up more steam the longer Herman stays.  The only issue I have is that they tore down Robertson and built TDECU right in its place.  The neighborhood man...you better have your head on a swivel if you go to a night game.  Or go in there "heavy" if you know what I mean.

      It's a great day in SETX!

      By CardinalBacker · Posted

      The locals have almost finished firing the first ever Speaker of the House from Southeast Texas upon direct order of Trump and his minions.   It's a sad day... Locals have decided that being represented by the most powerful man in the House didn't mean anything.... they'd rather a political novice to represent this part of SETX.  And why is that?  He wasn't MAGA enough for them.  Who cares that it will hurt locally... What Trump says, goes.     Just yesterday I saw Trump on television demanding that we fire Phelan... How he's a RINO, weak on the border, etc... why?  Because he wouldn't overlook the criminal actions done by Ken Paxton, one of Trump's key supporters in the effort to overturn the 2020 Election and allow Trump to remain in office despite the will of the voters.   Trump never even mentioned Covey's name, and I doubt he would recognize Covey if Covey walked up with a cup of coffee.  Who cares that it's bad for SETX?  Not the R voters from SETX!   Then I saw Covey's preacher on a different ad tell a bald face lie.  Why should Phelan be fired?  "He put Democrats in positions of power in the House."  Really?  That's been the position of BOTH parties for as long as anybody can remember.  They ALWAYS give the minority party committee chairmanships.  But in 2022 the Rs decided that the practice should stop.  Democrat voters should not be allowed a voice in the crafting of legislation if there is a single majority Republican seat in the House, according to the Rs.  Representative Government?  Never heard of it, huh? Never did I believe that we'd have an abortion ban, constitutional carry, huge cuts for school property taxes, and Texas law enforcement being greenlit to enforce immigration law.  But it all happened while Phelan was speaker.  Without a doubt, the most conservative Speaker, ever.  But still a dirty RINO for not being MAGA enough.  It would be funny if it weren't true.   I've been following politics long enough to remember when Rs couldn't get elected in Texas... I'm confident that we're headed back that direction.  I mean, it's obvious that with population shifts we'll be turning blue eventually.  I think that the behavior of the leadership of the Republican Party is going to cause that shift sooner than expected.  I won't be surprised to see Democrat Senators and possibly even a governor elected within 12 years.  Maybe less.  The Rs will be a party apparatus without a voting base behind them.
