Remembering John Jenkins
Earlier in the week, the Chronicle's Dale Robertson checked in on former UH football coach and offensive guru John Jenkins.
Here's a teaser:
Once, John Jenkins was convinced he'd die a Houston Cougar, taking with him every college football offensive record worth owning.
But this was not how things worked out for the cocky, often controversial coach whose frenetic tenure on Cullen Boulevard has been judged both the best and the worst of times in UH's checkered football history.
It's a good profile of the controversial coach. There's no doubt that since the start of Bill Carr's tenure as athletics director at UH and Carr's effectively dumping Jenkins as head coach of the football program, the athletics department has been mired in a downward spiral.
If Art Briles can recapture the magic of his first season and Tom Penders can build on his strong first season, perhaps that spiral will finally be reversed. Until then, it's kind of fun to reminisce about the Jenkins offensive fireworks.
