Interviewed by Fox.
He seems very optimistic about his prospects. On this season, he commented thus:
I’m very happy for the players and proud of what they’ve accomplished. I recruited those guys and invested a lot of time in them –- and a lot of them still stay in touch with me. We knew 2015 was going to be a special season. We felt very good about our recruiting and the development of our young players. Keep in mind, our first season we were replacing the NCAA’s all-time leader in total offense in Case Keenum and knew there would be some growing pains. In 2013, we were the only team in the country whose leading passer, rusher and receiver were either freshmen or sophomores. We were building it the right way. I don’t want to take anything away from the new coaching staff – they’re doing a great job. But if you look at what Coach Sumlin and Coach Briles did at Houston, we were right on track. It’s amazing how similar our first three years were. That being said, I’m happy for the University of Houston. I coached there for a total of seven years and was a part of some historic wins. My family and I made some lifelong friends and great memories, so it’s a very special place to us.
Not seeing much in the way of potential openings for him this year. North Texas at best. ULM seems more realistic, since I'm not sure who wants to be a head coach bad enough to take that job... but they might be able to get a coordinator or go the Disgraced Coach route with Mangino or Haywood.
