Why fire Holgo?

Because he wasn’t nice enough to them about their NIL program being underfunded and support staff needing to grow and they forgot to appreciate they had a guy who could win football games even if he was abrasive at times.

Something to do with only 2 winning seasons out of 5 would be part of it.

As it pertains to head coaches I always think it’s the devil that you know that should guide decisions. You fire a coach and hire a new coach and the new broom sweeps good for a minute and then you figure out the new coach has his own flaws and also is not Bear Bryant, Nick Saban, Woody Hayes, Knute Rockne, Bobby Bowden or Steve Spurrier like you hoped he was. You know because those are 1:1000 guys. So you get rid of him and rinse, wash, repeat. Like Texas and Texas A&M have done. It’s a fools game hiring head coaches. Churn your assistants…help get them promotions to bigger jobs and keep them cycling through. THAT is the recipe you dream of. Keeps new blood and ideas coming while also maintaining consistency in leadership with the devil that you know.

You probably can’t, but some are much worse than others.

Good luck getting anything more out of Coach YoloV-neckBro-swag. Kliff is just the less fun, off-brand version of Holgo.

A G5 job would be a great fit for him. I think he could thrive at a place like University of North Texas.

Kingsbury does less with more than any coach in football. You cannot even win with one of the best quarterbacks of our generation, you should not be a head coach. Houston will never get above mediocrity with this guy.

Who said anything about Kliffy? You asked why fire him, and I simply answered the question you asked on why he was fired. If you do not like it, take it up with Khator.

Pretty sure his comment "why fire Holgo" was a direct response to the post about Kliff and the extended question was, "why fire Holgo if you're just going to hire Kliff?"

The implication was meant to be that if you're just going to hire Kingsbury (which it now seems they aren't) then why bother firing Holgerson. I know Holgo has been slipping but you'd be paying $15M to can him then replacing him with a less likable offensive nut job who also can't win. I totally understand why they fired Holgo if they make a clear upgrade like hiring Traylor.

How is Traylor a "clear upgrade"?

Kingsbury couldn't win with a future 2X Superbowl MVP...

He has a .700+ win percentage as head coach of a program that didn't previously exist. That seems like good work to me. I'd expect him to have success at another south Texas program with better opportunities.

Albeit a.700 win percentage against football teams that mostly shouldn’t exist in D1.

Like everything, those sorts of things come in degrees. Some schools have less controlling rich alumni than others.

People said more it less the same about us winning the MWC. It's hard to consistently win anywhere.
