AP Top 25
#2 Baylor
#3 TCU
#24 Houston

Well that explains why their offenses were so stagnant Saturday.

Herman will be gone from UH in two months...I suspect both Maryland and USC will be interested, not to mention other P5 jobs that will inevitably be coming open. Maryland is a sleeping giant...tons of UnderArmour money and right in the middle of a solid recruiting area with DC/Va Beach/NJ/PA

Both USCs will be open by year end.

At a minimum they will have to almost double his current salary. And that's if they are lucky.

I don't think he will leave after one year

I doubt it as well, but with USC there is precedence.

USC might be the best gig in all of college football...you get to live in LA, you can pretty much pick what recruits you want because everyone wants to go there, 90,000 seat stadium, tons of tradition, etc.

Houston in AP poll and Memphis in coaches poll; Houston, Memphis & Temple all getting a lot of love in the polls. Let's see if Memphis can beat Ole Miss this year. That would be a huge win for the AAC

Are we in the top 10 bottom 10 yet?

Is Maryland really a better job than UH?

I've always thought UH was potentially a sleeping national giant that has been held back because it lacked a decent stadium. Recruiting goldmine-public university with large student body. They should average 40,000 or so a game in this new stadium. They've had sporadic National Top 10-15 seasons during about 4 periods since the 70s but never been consistent. I think the stadium will have a unifying affect on the UH community-the stadium has been long overdue

Maryland puts you in a really difficult division in the Big 10

Don't see Maryland doing it. Edsall's buyout is $2.6mm. Herman's buyout this year is $2.25mm. New salary would probably need to be at least $2.5mm. I don't see them spending that much on a coach with 1 year head coaching experience at a G5 school.

UnderArmour wants Maryland to be for them what Oregon was to Nike. and their AD said yesterday they want a coach who brings an exciting offense. I don't think they can land Chip Kelly, but I don't think money will be an issue.
