It's to keep Houston down. They don't want you guys to elevate yourselves any further

Yeah, gotta keep that UT boogeyman strong.

I think it is pretty clear something has changed with this Cougar team. Either they are not "buying in" to CTH anymore because they suspect/know he is leaving, or, even if the players are still buying in, the coaching staff has mailed it in.

What I'm wondering though, is this some twisted, calculated psycological ploy to make it easy for him to leave? Reduce to team to playing awful football and get the fans to not care if he leaves?

Judging by how many fans have begun turning on him, it appears to be working.

Congrats to SMU, your team showed up to play tonight. I just wish we could have been better competition for you.

After having been though our share of coaches moving on, watching you guys implode is making it clear why they typically lie to everyone instead of saying things like "no coach in the country knows where he'll be in five years." ala Herman.

Ya, I'm no stranger to coaching changes either, but you don't have to blow off the season if you've already decided to leave. There was still a lot left to play for this season even after the Navy loss, but looks like nobody on the team is putting out the effort anymore. That's the part I don't get.

I understand that, but you have to understand that kids committed to the coaching staff. When Herman made it clear he's not committed to them I think things changed.

Once that happened, and the playoff dream was shattered... the kids gave up and the wheels fell off.

The kids and program were looking too far ahead. And once those dreams were shattered it deflated them instead of focusing on winning the conference championship...

The players on Houston's team did indeed look totally deflated against SMU. Perhaps with everything the players thought they were playing for being off the table now, the team has simply quit. We may be looking at one of the worst collapses of a team ever.
