Coastal Carolina 2012:
Joe Moglia
- Only previous HC experience was 1 season in the UFL
Result: 56-22 record at CC. 5 winning seasons out of 6. Arguably laid the ground work for Chadwell's run at Coastal.
Houston 2016:
Major Applewhite
- No HC experience
- Promoted from OC
Result: 15-11, fired after two seasons. 0-3 in bowl games
Then, Musselman and Pittman.
I was surprised to learn he didn't hire Kelvin Sampson nor Tom Herman as Houston.
Only 4 hires - 2 successes, 2 failures. Outside of Musselman, he has basically hired no names. Moglia and Pittman were both journeyman types. Applewhite being an up-and-comer type.
It's a small sample size but based on his history, I wouldn't necessarily expect an Urban Meyer splash hire.

Good point, he has to hit a home run with this hire and reinvent the NIL structure for football.

Didn't Hunter try to hire Kiffin at Houston, but his board shot it down?

Interesting. I thought he hired Herman too.

Bump. Why exactly is he considered such a good AD?

They aren't informed.
He hasn't had to make any noteworthy HC hires outside of Muss while here.
He's not good when it comes to finances and contracts with agents.

Remember Muss was recommended to him by an athletes parents/ booster.

That SEC Podcast Guy says Sexton hates Arkansas and will steer his clients away from the school.
Thats all at the feet of HY, if true.
