Too early to tell. I've hearing Houston is likely to make a "splash" hire as the AD is starting to feel some heart. Mike Leach's name has been mentioned. The Cougars will likely go for a coach with an offensive background given they struggled so much in that area this season and need to sell tickets for their $120-million stadium that opened this fall. As others mentioned the offensive coordinator from TCU (Doug Meacham) and Baylor (Philip Montgomery) are possibilities given they're former UH assistants. The issue with them is neither has ever been a head coach. Outgoing UH coach Tony Levine was paid $925,000 this season after signing a five-year extension last spring.
You think it's hard for UL to compete against LSU for income and fan support? Think about smaller Texas schools ha being to compete against UT, Baylor, Texas Tech, TAMU, and TCU. And also Tx State, UTA, UTSA, Rice, UTEP....need I go on? If Hud leaves it won't be to go to a smaller Texas school.
I will believe Hud is leaving UL when he tells me in a press conference. Until then i will not worry with these fear mongering threads.
