So sad when that happens to a team

I tell you, though...this team supports his decision 100%.

We're sad at his departure because he's taken the team where it's never been before. He's also done wonders to turn the program around.

I really don't think it was about the money. The whole state appreciates him, so I don't understand why he couldn't get any respect from UH Administration. Coach Jones and Colt Brennan had to pull teeth just to get soap for the team showers. And have you SEEN our practice fields?

Next thing on UH's to-do list: Get rid of the Athletic Director.

I wish Coach Jones well (they don't play UGA, lol).

Hopefully, UH will get its act together and build better facilities.

Nope I was at work all day; no time for GC. Plus work blocks out sites like GC. No sulking; no reason to. Having an 11-2 record and beating Michigan is a great season. Sure the better team won last night, I can say that. I'm not sulking because even though we lost, we had a great "rebuilding" season. Go Bucks!!! Oh and congrats to LSU.

I'm loving the renewed talks about the playoff or the plus 1 game. All conferences except for the Pac-10 and Big-10 are pretty much in favor. Hmmmm, I wonder why. They would rather keep their "precious" Rose Bowl tradition in tact than actually have a decent/meaningful/necessary system of determining a national champion. I really liked whoever said in the article I read on ESPN that if the Pac-10 and Big-10 refuse.......they can just be left out of the equation come post season time.

SEC Football Post-Season Notebook

LSU's 2007 BCS National Championship is the Southeastern Conference's fourth in the 10 years of the BCS. Tennessee won the BCS National Championship in 1998, LSU in 2003 and Florida in 2006.

The SEC is the first conference to win back-to-back BCS titles.

The SEC is 11-4 all-time in BCS bowl games. The SEC has won four BCS bowl games in the last two seasons.

The SEC's seven bowl wins this season is an all-time high for any conference. SEC had six last season (previous high).

The SEC's 7-2 bowl record this season is first among the automatic qualifying BCS conferences (.778 percent) and second overall (Mountain West - 4-1, .800 percent) this season.

This season, the SEC posted a 47-10 record against non-conference foes (.825 percent), which is the highest percentage of all FBS conferences. 47 wins ties an SEC high all-time (last season, had 47).

The SEC now has 184 bowl wins in its history, which is tops in FBS.

The SEC's bowl win percentage of 52.8 (184-164-13) is percentage points ahead of the ACC's 143-128-5 percentage of 52.7 for tops among FBS conferences. Records are using 2007 conference alignments.

I agree with you Brother.
However there are signed contracts in force for several years.
