    When I saw "head" coaching job in the link title, I was like "man it's gotta be like the new USFL or Division III or something."

    The Sumlin hire is NOT a good start for the Houston team. It is literally enough to keep me from getting tickets. That money will instead be saved for when we get the Arizona hockey franchise...

    Sumlin AND Holgerson coaching in HTX at the same time? Those Galleria bars better build up their liquor inventories!

    mb,

    Please! They are starting off trying to outdo the NFL wannabes on Kirby. While I admit that they have a long way to go to achieve the level of overwhelming stupidity reached by Cal & his clowns, hiring Sumlin is certainly a good start.

    Maybe the Spring Branch ISD can lease them Reggie Grob Stadium, which seats about 3500.

    I’m one of the few, happy to see football continue.
    I used to pull out the old Mattel Electric Football game and watch it on Saturdays.

    Sumlin is pretty bad as an HC, at least out here at UofA. He was the head coach at Arizona from 2018-2020, compiling a 9-20 record.

    2018 5-7
    2019 4-8
    2020 0-5

    His W/L record got got progressively worse each year and his rear-end got canned after the short 2020 season.

    At aggy he was better:

    2016 Texas A&M 8-5
    2015 Texas A&M 8-5
    2014 Texas A&M 8-5, Liberty Bowl Champs
    2013 Texas A&M 9-4, Chick-Fil-A Bowl Champs
    2012 Texas A&M 11-2, Cotton Bowl Champs

    I loved that game. Was one of the few in my group that would spend a crazy amount of time bending those flanges just so to get a straight, or mildly turning right or left for a blocker. Fun times.

    Not really. Because they pulled out of B12, aggy schedule was still messed up to the point they were playing 3 FCS/joke scrimmages per year. He was really a .500 coach with a normal schedule.

    Bruce Feldman reporting less than an hour ago Chizik will be new DC at UNC. You can take Feldman to the bank.

    Brown reunited with Chizik? I have to laugh at the USFL announcement only 2 days before the UNC news broke.

    My understanding is that Chizik was pretty quick to deny the claims he was going to the USFL. That just didn't get reported by a lot of the outlets...
