Re: UH to Mountain West, foootball only!
Yeah. With your kind of attitude, Greg McMackin would not be head football coach at UH today. Why? Because the man left UH as defensive coordinator after the 1999 season in order to take the exact same coaching position at Texas Tech.
Screw the man!! We weren't good enough for him in 2000? Why should we take back him back now, even though he's the best qualified candidate? Hate the guy!!
And while we're cutting off our nose to spite our face because of an obsession with the past, we shouldn't have hired Gib Arnold to be our men's basketball coach. Why? Because his dad drove the same basketball program into the ground in the mid 1980s,..... then ditched us to take a freakin' assistant coaching position (a demotion!) at Arizona St. True, those were the actions of Frank Arnold, not Gib. But an apple doesn't fall from the tree, right?
Screw the man!! We weren't good enough for Frank Arnold back in 1987? Why should we trust the man's son now, even though he's the best qualified candidate? Better to keep Bob Nash!!
Do the above sentiments sound asinine? They sure do. Why? Because these are examples of irrational decision-making based on events that happened way back in the past and no longer have any revelancy to the present-day scenario.
It is no different than UH rejecting an invitation from the MWC, based on reasons that don't go beyond the acrimonious mood of '99.
First of all, it wasn't just UH that was initially left behind by the MWC departure of '99. The MWC departed from 7 other schools besides UH.
Secondly, if anyone feels ashamed of UH, then nobody's forcing them to be a Rainbow/Warrior fan. They've got schools like San Jose St., Idaho, Utah St., and Lousiana Tech to cheer for, if being on a sinking ship like the WAC means so much to them.
Meanwhile, I'm hoping for UH athletics to survive into the 21st century and fully support shifting allegiances to a conference that has a positive outlook versus staying behind in a league whose future viability in Div. 1 athletics is in doubt.
