I'm pretty sure he'll still coach in the playoffs. It wouldn't be so good for them if he didn't.

Defiantly will, but it does make me wonder if he had that added to what he would agree on. It will be interesting to see.So will he be still coaching in the playoff? I would imgaine given the recuiting period.. and the signing in Feb... Might be a good thing for us, if he's distracted between his first HC and coaching in bowl.
Initial rumors are that he will coach the Bama game, but not the Championship game if we win. Makes no sense to me, but that was the word - unconfirmed - from usually reliable sources. We've gonna miss him....he did a helluva job this year with that offense esp the QB's.....replaced 4 starting OL (3 of whom are starting in the NFl as rookies), Braxton, best WR and Carlos Hyde and still fired on all cylinders. Hard to imagine.....don't think it will have too much bearing on the Bama game but would much prefer he be completely focused on that game for the next 3 weeksI'm pretty sure he'll still coach in the playoffs. It wouldn't be so good for them if he didn't.

The distraction is a real one without question. At issue is the degree to which it impacts his performance....hopefully, and we do have the Mullen precedent, it won't be material. No doubt Urban will demand his full energies and Herman is a professional and I expect he will put forth a professional effort and have the offense and especially the inexperienced QB prepared and in a position to succeed.....To use a more Urban Meyer example, Dan Mullen took the MSU job before the BCSCG against Oklahoma. They won the game. I don't buy the distraction idea. It is just a good excuse for fans when things go sideways.
I have a Masters' Degree from the U of H and would not walk across the street to see them play if their new stadium was in my hood unless they were playing the Alabama Crimson Tide. So, I haven't been to see them play in 40+ years. It's been known as Cougar High for many years!That's a step down for him. South Alabama is a better job than U of H. Sorry, my wife's an alum, and we've never been to a game in 24 years. Good luck to punching his ticket and getting out ASAP.
Urban will be calling plays probably.I'm pretty sure he'll still coach in the playoffs. It wouldn't be so good for them if he didn't.

The University of Houston Cougars.Houston the College or the Houston Texans?
Could be right!Urban will be calling plays probably.
Yeah, I'm thinking he'll call the game.Initial rumors are that he will coach the Bama game, but not the Championship game if we win.
