Fritz, so far, is like a breath of fresh air compared to Dana H. UH has had some really "dumpster" coaches, but Dana may be the worst.
I am not going crazy about all the guys hitting the portal its normal for players to leave when there is a coaching change and it just opens up spots for guys that want to be here.
Levine was an extremely nice guy and well-liked, but he presided over the two most embarrassing losses in program history. 2012 vs TX State (infamous loss given that it was TX State's first game in FBS *AND* we fired our OC in week 1) and 2014 vs UTSA (TDECU stadium opener). I think given that he basically exited football entirely after UH tells us all we need to know about who was truly the most in-over-their-head. Even 0-11 Dana Dimel is still in the coaching game. Holgo is basically the least smelly turd in the toilet. Gun to my head I take him over Helton, Levine, Dimel, and Applewhite. But at the end of the day he's still a turd though. Edit: Actually nevermind. If I had to run it back I'd take Applewhite. His teams were bland as hell but at least he has a chance to evolve into something better.
Yeah that year things started to look like they might turn around. We didn't beat anyone good (our signature win was a 10-4 Rice team) but we lost a bunch of one-possession games to some very good teams. 2014, despite its disastrous start, had a chance of being a good year until we lost vs. a terrible Tulane team on homecoming. By the end of that year Tony had racked up too many unforced errors to be given more rope.
