Think we can hoodwink Sam into taking Whitten off our hands now that Keeler left. They are kinda dumb down there.

Doubtful. He's already been run out of Prisonville twice - 1st time as OC and 2nd as HC. The only other place he's been HC.

For the record I don't mind Whitten staying at Tarleton, just not as HC. "Assistant AD for Recruiting" has his name written all over it. Whitten's a good man, and truth be told, he has done everything we've asked of him. He deserves a promotion/reassignment if he wants to stay, or the highest recommendation we can possibly give if he decides to go. Another D2 school looking to transition to FCS would definitely hire him.

It was a post meant to be humorous. His offense has never worked against a good defense. We never beat a team we aren’t supposed to. South Dakota will shut us down. Britten and Cooper both well under 100 yards.
Keep him as head coach. He’s fine. Just take the offense out of his hands. Defense needs to be fixed too, but that’s a different story.

Oh great a thread initiated to allow SammyH to come spew his nonsense. I am 100% positive according to SammyH that the new HC will be a world beater and his brother better than you attitude will lift Sam Houston to new heights.

We did that this year by hiring a full-time OC. And the year before that. And the year before that. It's just putting lipstick on a pig. There will be no taking the offense out of his hands as long as he's the Head Coach. He has proven to be incapable of delegating. And, unfortunately, that's why he must go.
