Well, Kevin Sumlin rounded off his new staff at the University of Houston by hiring Texas Tech OC Dana Holgorsen. This marks 2 straight years that a Tech OC has taken a job at another school. Last year, Sonny Dykes was hired by Mike Stoops to help improve the Wildcat's offense in Arizona.
Its great that Mike Leach seems to be the new go-to guy when a team needs a coordinator to run the spread offense. He's becoming the Bill Walsh of the spread. The spread has become the new West Coast Offense, and Lubbock is the center of the movement.
The biggest pain this causes the Red Raiders is Holgorsen's experience as a teacher, more so than as a play caller, since Leach pretty much does most of that. I give Holgorsen credit for most of the wide receivers that have come through Tech in the last few seasons. Michael Crabtree, Eric Morris, Danny Amendola and Joel Filani have all thrived under his watch, while others like Eddie Britton and Robert Johnson have succeeded after switching positions.
Good luck, Dana!
