That looks like a great fit!

Interesting. But I think Art knows he probably can't go any further at Cougar High.

Briles played at Cougar High. Call me crazy, minus the increased salary I think moving to Tech would be a lateral move. Briles has a better chance at Cougar High of running the table ala Boise State and appearing in a BCS bowl than doing the same at Tech.
I think the two schools already get comparable recruits when you factor in UH's BCS transfers.

Agree. He played for Coach Yeoman at UH from '74-'77 and then transferred to Tech where he graduated in '79. His kids all graduated from/attend UH. I think that all things being equal he would stay at UH. He can do a lot more for UH than he could for Tech. However, money talks.
