Houston just isn't a good coach and firing Ruffin was a mistake. They weren't great under him, but played better than they have since he was let go.

Houston's resume speaks to his ability as a coach, and "not good" isn't what it says.

However, the lack of results at ECU over the last couple years are fair game for criticism and unless they can pull together 7-8 wins, it's probably curtains for their pairing. I'm glad he didn't go to UNCC, though.

Coaching is a results oriented job. Houston's results at ECU over the last six years show that he's not good.

I dont ever want to know hate that deep to be comparing a coach to trump. Lol 

they are salesman/showman with an over fixation on personal brands.   Don't let politics blind the comparison.  The politics of one or the other is irrelevant here.  It's a good fair comparison that I didn't invent.  You can google that. 

who essentially lives an every day reality show? 

who is fixated on personal brand? 

who demands the oxygen and eyeballs of everyone? 

who is more fixated on the salesmanship vs the substance? 

who thinks the media should be his ally or villainizes them? 

who is in charge of an operation yet fixated on cosmetic/PR aspects? 

who has nepotism as the foundation of their operation? 

and then now today....

Turning three smaller schools into title contenders says otherwise. Your mind is made up, that's fine, and I said that his results haven't been good enough at ECU. But if they pull out 8 wins, he's likely still there despite your feelings.

    • Yet had it not been for some amazing plays by the defense, we would all be looking at this game saying Bryce Young squandered away some golden opportunities, like the pass that was too high for Tremble, or taking a sack on the long drive in the 3rd quarter.  I'm glad he played well.  I really am.  But it's true that a blind squirrel finds a nut every once in a while.  Bryce Young is the primary party responsible for nearly all of our losses this season.  I have no reason to believe that he won't come out and lay an egg after the bye.  
    • And that’s where a lot of people struggle to see it with Bryce Bryce is never physically going to “wow” anyone. Which will ultimately keep him out of that elite QB tier.  Burrow, Mahomes, Allen, Lamar, Maye, Stafford People want to put Herbert in that tier because he’s the ultimate highlight type QB. Highlights in this day and age trump just about everything. I’m more inclined to put Dak in that category than Herbert.  Then there’s the tier before the elite group. That’s where I believe Young’s ceiling is. Which is fine. You better have a good team and a good coach around these types though.  I believe Bryce has a higher ceiling than Goff. Put Young on Detroit and that team has a higher ceiling. Would also have a lower floor but you’d take that.  Bryce doesn’t have many true ‘wtf’ moments. He definitely did his rookie year. Granted the bulk of his “supporting cast” and HC are out of the league now and were well on their way out when the arrived here.  Due to lack of physical traits and what made Bryce good at Bama this NFL thing was and still is going to take time with him. He’s adjusting to NFL defenses.  So sure, we’re kind of in a pickle. Do we keep Bryce and have something like the 10th best QB in the league paired with Canales whose ceiling is probably similar at his position or do we keep doing what we’ve been doing since 2017? This team has been an absolute mess since Tepper took over. He’s finally seeing some wins. I’m all for spending a day 3 pick every year on a QB with traits. But for the time being Young is definitely our best option in 2026 and it would be tough to imagine us having a better option at this point in 2027 as well I know how much the huddle loves charts but this wasn’t happening his rookie year. This chart is 2 weeks old but point remains. It’s also why I said Dalton would be useless against Buffalo. Bryce has done a real good job at avoiding sacks this year and then making something happen. Bryce is fully capable of giving you those 4-5 big plays you need from a QB a game. Those 4-5 big plays just look a lot different than the 4-5 big highlight type plays you get from those physically gifted QB’s
    • 5 games without a turnover, the defense has surprised me a lot this year. Second to last in sacks, yet still getting the job done, impressive.
