Houston names Major Applewhite its new head coach. Not Lane Kiffin. Probably for the best.
Kiffin is very good with the offense. It remains to be seen whether he has truly learned his lessons as a head coach. Think there is a risk in any case.
Agree he is an above average OC, but his track record as a head coach is near Patrino-ish... lots of baggage. I think he even rode the coat tails of his father to get some positions. That USC stint in particular. I think Houston was smart to just keep they guy they already knew. And besides, he was a former Texas Qb. So, he's got some home state interest.
