A Fort Worth guy quoting “Sources.”

Was he hitching up his pants when you spoke to him?

The game has passed him by.

Welp, if it all comes together we will get to see GMFP walk into Amon Carter next year and test out your opinion.

 

[ftwfrog]

Whoa man. If he bashed our crowds how quickly does he blame losses on the lack of crowds in Houston?

 

[TopFrog]

It is possible the year at UTerus and now a year off has given him the chance to reflect and think and see how the game has changed and is ready to adapt. He is an Xs and Os genius. Refreshed. Refocused. Surround himself with the right people and strategy and ….

This will be key - if he resurrects his old staff, then he won’t have a chance at UH. Also, if you thought TCU’s DL was weak, then UH’s DL was a disaster this year. He will need a lot of help to turn them around.

Well, if he crafts them into a top 20 team and the attendance is top 100 he will have earned the right to [ hundin] I suppose.

He’s going to have to really change how he does things if he wants a good staff around him. He was known to be VERY hard on assistants and I think a major reason he kept the same ones for so long is because he didn’t have many guys pining to work for him.

Call me crazy. I can actually see this happening.

This would suck. I don't want to root against GP but I'm not cheering for Houston.

Yeah, it had passed Mack Brown by, too…

It’ll be easy for me if it happens. Already a huge Todd Whitting fan. Houston is the antithesis to Texas A&M and should be in Texas what Cincinnati is in Ohio.

You have to wonder how many times the Texas big cigars lamented running Mack Brown off over the years.

I would guess a lot. UTerus has not done very well since he departed, except for this year.

Here's to their ultimate crash and burn.

First off, I hate this as I think Houston would be silly not to hire GP if he wants the job.

A change was definitely needed for both TCU and GP, but to assume that GP hasn't learned anything from it, or from a year with Texas, is just silly. I think he'd adapt his approach and surround himself with others who are better suited to deal with some of the portal/NIL challenges. GP is a damn smart coach who wants to win games. Houston is the kind of program where his chip on the shoulder approach could succeed.

Too bad a lot of UH fans want Whitting gone.

Probably worth a shot for Houston. If we keep a pocket passer, he'll tear us up. If we go mobile, it will show why he's at Houston.

He couldn’t stop either after 2015.

And I personally think it would be a great hire for them.
