Jack Pardee takes Viagra, projects staff

Looks like the University of Houston is serious about hiring Jack Pardee as their next head coach. According to the. UH has narrowed the search to Pardee and Notre Dame offensive coordinator Michael Haywood.
Pardee who has been out of coaching for a decade has gone so far as to project what his staff would look like. It would include “current assistants Jason Phillips (wide receivers). Bubba McDowell (cornerbacks). Tony Fitzpatrick (defensive line) and interim coach Chris Thurmond with newcomers like former SMU assistant Ronnie Vinklarek (offensive lie). Tomball High’s Tommy Kaiser (S-backs and special teams). Arlington Bowie coach Kenny Perry (safeties) and former Cougars quarterback David Klingler (offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach).”
Klingler is currently a PhD student at Dallas Theological Seminary. Seriously.
No word on whether Houston will only schedule day games so as not to interfere with Pardee’s six o’clock bedtime.
This is the decrease death of the Houston football program. They clearly no longer have an interest in spending the money on facilities or competing. Seems like they’ve given up.
UH fan here - and I have to agree that neither of these guys would be my first or back up choice. Or third. I think either has more downside than upside especially in light of some of the other candidates that were discussed.
I’d be w/ Mockingbird though that we aren’t willing to spend the money we were paying Briles almost a million a year and would’ve given him a raise had he stuck around. And the rumors are (admittedly rumors) that we are in the process of finalizing a plan/contributions to make upgrades to the stadium. However we don’t have BCS money coming in or the other revenue sources that B12 schools do to match you guys dollar for dollar. That much is true.
But we do spend what we have. I evaluate. We just don’t have as much. And while we may never be on the national stage again (sadly). I guess we’ll still be (generally) better than Rice.
HJ - if he is a *fix* at all (short or long term). I will take it meaning if he can act the develop made over the last 5 years then I will be ecstatic. I worry that this would be a Drexler-esque situation which as you may recall was a fiasco.
I can’t believe you guys passed on Sumlin. He is long overdue for a continue coaching job.
I’m glad you did though. I be him as our OC. I think hiring Sumlin is the only.[ADVERTHERE]Related article:
