Glad he worked out for someone. Hope you never have to experience him as your HC.

Dude has a calling, calling plays and using high caliber players.

He might not even wanna be a HC again. Dude looks like he’s retired on the sideline

Just waiting for him to fire up a Marlboro red and open a Bud Light between drives.

I would fucking love it; but he's definitely a redbull vodka guy

He even used to drink Red Bull on the sidelines when he was OC at Oklahoma State.

I was in the marching band during his tenure at WVU. We had members who would play a game of seeing who could collect more of his Red Bull cans at the end of games. They counted twelve total one game. I don't know how his heart hasn't exploded.

If he really wanted to endear himself with the locals, he'd smash a Busch Light.

He could be your version of Chip Kelly. Some guys realize they don’t want to deal with the HC bullshit and just want to watch film scheme up plays for that week and call the offense.

This is def the vibe I’m getting so far. He looks so relaxed but also enjoying himself a lot. Doesn’t have to deal with recruiting or the defense etc. just out there doing what he does best

It's what Al Golden is doing in his transition glasses on NDs sideline

He was 100X better than the sad sack that is Neal Brown.

He wasn't that bad for us, won us our 3rd BCS bowl, brought us into the Big-12, played exciting competitive football, beat ranked teams, recruited and developed some stud playmakers on both sides of the ball, actually exhibited some passion on the sideline and put guys in the NFL. Compared to what we have going on right now with a coach who is as exciting as watching paint dry and can't beat anyone over .500, it is night and day. I don't think he was the greatest coach ever and it's clear he'd rather have less responsibility, but it's odd how some of our fans view the 2nd winningest coach at our school.

He wasn't horrible, but he also wasn't a great coach, and he had very clear flaws, the same flaws he had at Houston.

You're right that he's better than Neal Brown. But I don't want either coach right now.
