Damn, they just changed that. They had originally announced that Whipple was the man.

TU (Tulsa) hired Bill Blankenship as head coach. Some of you will remember me pushing that name on here a while back...

any relation to Kyle Blankenship from Byrd that went to Tulsa for bball?

Interesting that this guy's never even been a coordinator.

Yes. Kyle is his nephew.

According to the Chronicle's UH reporter, Tulsa did the hire on the cheap and so they didn't have a lot of great candidates.

I half thought they might simply rehire Kragthorpe.

Kragthorpe resigned from coaching to deal with a serious family illness. Don't think he's ready to get back into the game yet.

I didn't know whether he backed out of A&M for a temporary thing or whether it was something that was going to keep him out for a while. According to ESPN, Tulsa wasn't interested either way.

The more I look at the Blankenship hire, the more I think it might really be a good one. No experience as a coordinator, but if what I am reading is right he really worked wonders at Tulsa Union. That actually matches Art Briles's resume almost to a T. Then again, when we hired Briles there weren't very many quality coaches willing to take us on (after we decimated Dana Dimel's once-promising career). If they weren't (allegedly) doing it on the cheap, they could have really made a splash. But considering that they did go the inexpensive route, they made a good choice.if what

Kragthorpe is an excellent Coordinator or Position coach. Don't know if I'd go after him as a Head Coach though.
I don't know much about Blankenship at all. Interested to see how that pans out.

is this only a Football coaching change "speculation" thread? or could it be for basketball as well?
