I'd rather have Briles, but by all accounts the only way he's going to leave Texas is in a coffin.

threatmatrix;n100454 said:You just seem tike the kinda guy who woulda loved Zook. Just asking Sas - didn't mean to give you such butthurt.

Muschamp was 22-16...in his first three years.
I don't think Briles is a upgrade.
TallyGator;n100482 said:Did you look at their records right before he got to either place? My recollection is that they were both really bad and the cupboard was bare as far as talent. He left Houston better than they were and his work at Baylor speaks for itself. As far as coming here, the cupboard is not bare and all he would have to do is coach...
On a down note, I heard on the broadcast today that he signed an extension thru 2013, so I think Ox is right, he ain't leaving...
Houston: Briles inherited a program that had lost its way on the field but was stocked with young talent from Dimel's exceptional recruiting classes. The Cougars had only won eight games in Dimel's three-year tenure, but things were about to change. In his first season, Briles led the Cougars to a 7–5 record and their first bowl appearance since the 1996 season. The Cougars lost the Sheraton Hawaii Bowl to the Hawaii Warriors 54–48 in triple overtime on Christmas Day, 2003.
After a successful inaugural season under Briles, the Cougars fell back to 3–8 in 2004. Briles guided the Cougars to a 6–6 season in 2005 and an appearance in the Fort Worth Bowl. The Cougars' hopes for a winning season were ended in a 42–13 bowl-game rout at the hands of the Kansas Jayhawks.
