I think people are overvaluing Major Applewhite's offensive acumen. Our FEI was better than Texas's all three years in which he was co-OC there. Texas finished 81st, 18th, and 59th those years and then decided they'd had enough of Mack Brown.

Houston finished in the top 25 of offensive FEI once in his four years as OC or HC.

FWIW - Key coming to Tech getting mostly positive reviews despite thread starting with uga fan trying to take a shot a Alabama.

I don't know if it's as bad as they're making it out to be, but it doesn't make me think Miami is suddenly going to be fielding top 10 offenses either. I'd actually put it in the same boat as our OC hire.
 
Neal Brown to replace Holgerson at West Va. WVU came out pretty well in this, I think.

Hang on a second. Here's what Renu Khator has done for Houston in 10 years as president:
- Reached Carnegie R1 status (only 115 in the US, previously was R3)
- Awarded Phi Beta Kappa chapter
- Convinced the State Legislature (full of TAMU and UT graduates) to let Houston have a medical school after decades of attempts to get one
- Moved the school from ~200 in ARWU to under 100
- Set the benchmark for "winning" in football at 10 wins per season

Here's what Bud Peterson has done at Tech over 10 years:
- Lost several lawsuits for lack of due process in the expulsion for students for sexual misconduct
- Had several executives fired for conflicts of interest and abuse of power
- Made national news for violent riots and protests on campus.
- Dropped in the rankings from when he started.

Think they'd swap?

Wow. That's a pretty impressive resume for her. Peterson needs to step up his game.
 
I’m a prophet.

Let’s try this: CGC needs to beat the reigning national champion to start the 2019 season.
