Up and coming football program? Houston Cougars

[Remote]

New Houston Cougars head football coach Tom Herman hitting that recruiting tour hard.
Herman was an offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for Urban Meyer at OSU.

A member of the American Athletic conference (formerly the Big East), Houston was 8-5 last year beating Pitt 35-34 in the Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl

Still, if Herman is able to poach Texas high school talent from the Longhorns, things could get interesting.



But how does a coach with no experience get those kinds of top recruits?
This is a conference with SMU in it.
Is Houston the new SMU? Are they buying players?

I'm teasing, of course.

show them all the top recruits who went to UT who never developed or sat behind another cat. tell em they'll start day 1
oooooooooooor

[Yogi]

They probably paying. Plus there are rumors that they might get an invitation to the Big 12.

Nah, they ain't got enough money to complete consistently with other Texas college booster. It's pretty normal they get a good coach have a couple good seasons like Kevin Sumlin and Art Briles and the coach leaves for greener grass

Sound like their in the same boat as Louisiana Tech...

We can't really compete with LSU on any level really because of the crazy support, but we're still better than anyone else in the state

we'll get a new coach, a few players that should've been in a power 5 conference, have a few winning seasons, and the coaches bounce.

How is Charlie Strong generally viewed in the state? I assumed he'd dominate recruiting in the state.

I'd hate to see dude get a couple years, rebuild the program, and then get fired so a cac can waltz in and win with his players...

Isn't that sort of what happened with Tyrone Willingham?
Gets fired in 2004 from Notre Dame.
In 2005 Charlie Weis coaches the team to a 9-2 record.

Or was Willingham just a shytty coach?
I don't really know

1 of the 4 was visiting UT all last week.

Oliver is there b/c of his brother.

who are the other two?

The media is out to get Charlie Strong for some reason. Let's talk in February when CS has another top class. CS doesn't sign kids early, he lets them go thru the process then he picks them off in the winter.

Tom Herman last years offense coordinator of the year at tOSU. Also qb coach of 2x B1G player of the year B Miller, Heisman canidate And single season B1G td record holder JT Barrett, and Starting National Champ, 12 Gauge Cardale Jones. Thats whats attracting recuits to Houston. Plus the fact he is literally running his program like tOSU under Urban Meyer. Tom Herman is one if the smartest football minds in college football. In the next 5 years he will get a major gig. Houston about to be on the map, book it. He already nabbed the schools 1st ever 5 star recuit.
