When Davis Brin has an off game next year who will be the next champion ?Last year we were one play away on almost every game that would make us 9-3. Only 3 games we were out of and I could argue that we were not really “out” of the Michigan state game.
next year we have Ohio state and Oklahoma state. We should have brin starting and off what I have seen from him I like what I see.
now do I think he deserves one? Not sure. Does he get one if not offered another job? Yes.
Hopefully if we lose him we don’t lose brin.
$$ is another issue that is hard to manage right now.
At least Rick Dickson is around, knows college football, and will have some influence in decisions.
Who else would they rely on for input really? He will by necessity have some influence.Like i say.. it depends on Dixons status... if he is just there to water the plants then nothing really happens, but if he is given power to steer the ship... he will already have a short list going..
That might very well be a kid named Braylon Braxton. A new signee who had a stellar HS career & can throw it & run it. I've got a feeling, however, that Brin won't have too many bad games once he gets to be the starter.When Davis Brin has an off game next year who will be the next champion

This is a very talented team and the players are Monty's players. Whatever criticisms that can be directed at Monty, recruiting is not one of them. Tulsa played in the conference championship game on national TV, will be going to a bowl, and has been a national "feel good' story all season long. All this will help Monty to bring in another strong recruiting class.
Athletic Directors generally have a season ending chat/review with each sport's coach. Regarding real and perceived coaching problems or issues, AD Dickson should hash it out with Monty in a private meeting. This is what I perceive as a "solution" to legitimate questions raised by fans.
Publicly, TU decision makers should support Monty to allow TU to build upon this very fine year of accomplishment. Changing coaches or publicly criticizing Monty will disrupt TU's football success. Who knows? Tulsa could hire another Ken Burns! I would rather ride the horse (Monty) I know then hire a new coach which is always, always a gamble.
Tulsa, without question, is going to contend for the AAC Football Championship in 2021. Looking at the roster, there is a lot of returning talent.
Ken Burns would go 2-9 just like Monty and Keith Burns, but we would have an Emmy award winning and groundbreaking documentary made about the season Im sure. Lots of slow panning then holding on old pictures of a young Phillip Montgomery picking up Art Briles’ dry cleaning, etc.
Montgomery didn’t work with us when he could. That tells me we won’t work with him when we can. And that day is coming soon ...
There is a nucleus of posters who act like TU is a top 25 job when the football budget is probably at the conference bottom.i like the culture both off and on the field. Represents the university in a very positive fashion. Many of the kids were lightly recruited and worked hard both on the field and in the class room which is a testimony to our coaches. Budget constraints, no indoor practice facility, low pay pool for assistant coaches (didn't Monty have to take a cut or defer comp?) all make this season more special.
Until the alumni and supporter base steps up with financial support, he will continue to have to do more with less and will keep many coaches from showing interest.
I hope we keep him!
He took one cut but told us to jump in the river when other changes were proposed despite guaranteed money long term is the story I got. Others with more details feel free to chime in.i like the culture both off and on the field. Represents the university in a very positive fashion.

So we offered to extend him at a lower rate and he said no? Who cares?He took one cut but told us to jump in the river when other changes were proposed despite guaranteed money long term is the story I got. Others with more details feel free to chime in.

It’s Amazing that TU gets good results with such lackluster support from it’s administration .
Im not privy to the exact details and wouldn’t discuss them if I was, but the gist of the information I was given, which is from sources on campus but not always reliable, is that we had some pretty dramatic cash shortfalls heading into the fall last year and we asked about restructuring some salary payments to be able to make ends meet elsewhere in the department. I guess basically asking him to agree to be paid slightly more later with interest to free up short term cash and he said no. Haith agreed to do it and when told that Haith agreed he still said no. I like to be exactly right when I post stuff on here so if this is wrong, folks jump in because I don’t know the full story or if even that is the accurate picture. People jawbone inside the TU bubble and it’s not always the real story.So we offered to extend him at a lower rate and he said no? Who cares?
I totally agree and I give my two mites each year.There is a nucleus of posters who act like TU is a top 25 job when the football budget is probably at the conference bottom.

I dont think people here are complaining about things that he has no control over like budget issues. And i think most people are happy with recruiting that's happened. People are complaining about his piss poor game management and clock management. It's an every game issue that has cost us plenty of games.There is a nucleus of posters who act like TU is a top 25 job when the football budget is probably at the conference bottom.
