Another former Big 12 QB for head coach. Can't do any worse than Kingsbury. Kiffen might be going to Lsu. What other head coaching gigs are still available for kiffen to go to?

This. Kiffin would have never agreed to a huge buyout.

LOL. What an awful hire for them. Well, at least they won't have to worry about any programs wanting to steal their coach for awhile.

This getting to be interesting. The big programs (with money to spend) are having trouble filling coaching vacancies more often. USC last year. LSU this year and now Houston. Have to hire from within.

That and apparently UH was worried that Texas high school coaches wouldn't respect Lane Kiffin and they would start to lose all the traction they have made in recruiting.

At least they won't have to worry about any other schools stealing their coach now.

If that's the case, they just ham-strung one of their best recruiters by naming Applewhite as HC. He's restricted in making visits to recruits as HC. And who does he keep and who goes with Herman?

It certainly isn't a splash hire. They didn't even have enough confidence in Major to name him Interim Coach when Herman left.

He's not a party to that law suit.

Really? I've seen pictures of head coaches with recruits routinely...are you sure about that?

One in home visit. The reason programs no longer use the Head-Coach-In-Waiting regime. They were deemed to be covered by the same recruiting rules by the NCAA.

My favorite response to the hiring: "Does Applewhite make it a full season before he is replaced by Chris Simms?"

Well, at least this pretty much guarantees we won't hire another coach from UH.

Yup. And what recruiting traction are they talking about? Herman landed ONE stud in Ed Oliver (who I'm sure regrets the hell out of that decision now) that otherwise never would have gone to houston, and the rest are 2&3 stars which is the status quo for a school like Houston.

While I agree with you, it doesn't take much for Houston to have the most talent in that conference and dominate...UH is Boise but in a major market.
