Best of luck for the rest of your season.

You guys have a good team and a great coach.

Good luck in CUSA. I think we get you guys in Tulsa next year.

Epic Fail.

So your program was made by one coach??? Doesn't sound too good to me...

Yes, one bad coaching hire can kill a decade of momentum. [Tulsa - Kragthorpe and Graham > Blankenship] [Houston - Briles and Sumlin > Levine]

Cincinnati is another Rick Minter hire away from returning to decades of futility. Cincinnati has done a fine job maintaining the success laid down by Brian Kelly with Butch Jones and Tommy Tuberville, but all programs are only as good as their current hire.

Under Kragthorpe and Graham [2003-2010] Tulsa was 65-39, 63%, 4-2 in bowl games, 2 top 25 rankings, and 1 C-USA title............ under Blankenship [2011-2014] Tulsa is 23-19, 55%, 1-1 in bowl games, 1 C-USA title. The rapid downfall of Tulsa football seems to be a lack of talent, Blankenship's first 2 seasons produced 29-8, 78%, largely with players left over from Graham's recruiting classes.

Dude... Minter wasn't a bad coach. It was just obvious that he wasn't going to be the guy who would take the program to the next step. Minter was an ***average*** coach.

I get what you're saying, but I don't think it's fair or accurate to blame "decades" of futility on Minter. We've seen plenty worse in Bearcat history.

Yep, as much as it pains me to say so, the performance of this conference over all has been gawd awful.

I wonder what Aresco is thinking right now.....

I don't think so. ECU and Cincy are better than CUSA's 2 top teams. From there on down it's pretty much even.
