I am going to stand by coach until he proves he can’t handle the job. I’m not there yet. Not even close right now. But things can change

I am not in the immediate satisfaction crowd nor do I glob onto the first explanation after a rumor starts. Better to wait and see and not feed conspiracies etc

I'm not willing to say he can't handle the job yet, but if things continues as they have then I will be by the end of the season.

He's done little right and a lot wrong in my book.

But I was saying there is no sense in ranking the recruits when the philosophy was so much different

I noted the recruiting class ranking simply because it’s all we have to show direction and the future of the program.


I showed past, year 1, current and then the future recruiting

I think he tried to get some guys, didn’t get them. It happens. He’s had 1 complete recruiting cycle and got some guys that look to be at least contributors. I don’t understand the recruiting concerns at all. That’s one thing I think he’s done well in limited time. He missed on rap and McNeal. Big deal. Every coach misses on players

The guys screwed either way. If he gets players that are just bodies that suck, everyone criticizes his recruiting, and we are stuck with them, if he waits to be sure, everyone still says he can’t recruit. We all want players, next season isn’t starting anytime soon. Let’s wait and see. Is it concerning? Yes

He won the league. That’s literally the only thing he could have won and he did it. Everyone talks about how great Houston is and was. Tied them for the league. Wasn’t pretty but we were the one seed. Maybe he should have won the conference tournament last year even though it wasn’t played.

Also, Houston just lost to Tulsa. Not justifying our record, it’s sucks, but maybe we shouldn’t strive to be Houston like some people want to.
