I thought king looked odd just before the Oklahoma game, and where is Larkin’s ?, last year king could have throw the long ball and connect, now all of a sudden he can’t hit anybody 20 yards deep, is this on purpose?
Right now Iam not liking Dana Holgerson

I'm all for players being able to move around and play where they want, but seems like they'd have to make those decisions between seasons. It's not like Houston can easily replace that scholarship with a starting-caliber player in week 5.

Good thing this is college athletics and the school isn't trying to make money off the likeness of a player.

I support king being able to go where he wants. Tom Herman showed him early on you have to do what's best for you. Coaches can leave whenever they want and they get paid.

I don't think coaches get paid if they leave mid-season.

If you get injured, that's one thing. But he took the starting snaps in camp, got attention in film room from the coaches, all for this season.

You saying that he should be able to do whatever he wants at this point is like saying that students that drop classes 4 weeks in should get their money back. You are currently occupying a spot that could have been filled before that year started. It's kind of BS.

While his father says he's leaving
@UHCougarFB
, QB D'Eriq King says his decision is not final: "I've got to go talk to Coach Holgorsen. It's not just me redshirting. It's a bunch of other guys as well." (Asked when he'll make a final decision) "Today, after 5. It's not final."

The key phrase in that comment is "not just me...a bunch of other guys."

If true...yikes!

Man, Houston's season went from perhaps contending for an NY6 slot to...???

Is it possible to fire Holgorsen after one year, lol? He ain't gonna be 8-4.

Thats starting to get as old as the "Houston---we have a problem" line. Dana is going to be here a while---for better or worse.

LOL. Blame the president and/or Fritatta for saying it (I forget which). That will haunt you for a long time. Extremely dumb thing to say.

Is it as "dumb" as speculating that a first year coach with a 20 million dollar buy out will be fired? lol...Sounds like a dead heat to me.

This made me chuckle...

Coaches started the precedent. Cant blame young men for falling for the same trappings. No loyalty in the game anymore. Is what it is.

Didn't we just watch this rodeo clown show last year, only with a different clown? Couldn't King at least fake an injury before quitting?

Ok, ok, a real, physical injury, not talking about an injury to his pride.

He is guaranteed 8 more games to showcase is abilities. If he transfers he has to win a spot. I know players have done it, but so far I have not seen Jalen Hurts talent out of this guy.

If he does this my bet is that we never hear from him again.

Not if he gets with a competent head coach

He'll make a nice back up running back some where.

Do you think he is talent enough to use for a year somewhere? Especially a program where he would get that kind of coaching, has more exposure than Houston and does not have a QB that is younger with potential? I'd say the chances are slim

Yes.

Houston used to stomp around hear proclaiming their superiority.

… Now look at them.

Wishful thinking on your part. People have been saying this about UCF since we ran the table in Season 1 of the AAC. Three championships and two more 8-0 AAC seasons later, here we are.

Houston’s situation is juuust a tad different.

King plans to return next season according to Duarte. So who knows where any of this is headed.

Still raises the question who's gonna play quarterback this week.

Maybe he'll go to Memphis. Could you imagine how good we would be with him as the QB? We'd make all of you our *******.

Really weird situation. If you look a the list of transfer defensive help that comes ridng to the rescue next year (including a 5 star Bama linebacker), King would have a lot more success next year. Frankly, Im been suspicious that King has some sort of nagging arm issue. King's calling card has always been accurate passes. This years accuracy issues have no real precedent given his previous level of play. Pure speculation on my part---but I wouldnt be surprised if there is an injury issue at play.

Keith Corbin also plans to red shirt and come back.

So he and a WR are both Red-shirting and just going to try again next year.

Hopefully spending a year off helps.. we will see

I actually agree on the arm issues. It reminds me of how Ward looked like in 2016 after the OU game. Somethings up.

In my opinion this is king trying to help the program which is awesome! He knows this season is lost so why waste your last year? Better to redshirt, learn the offense and really come out swinging next year.
