Kirk Bohls is a longtime Austin American-Statesman sports columnist. Check out the blog that he posted on Sunday:
"For our prediction of the week, either (Colorado's Dan) Hawkins or Oklahoma State’s Mike Gundy will not be back next year. . . . Mr. Cowboy T. Boone Pickens cannot be happy that his millions haven’t brought him a better 42-year-old coach. Houston has a very good team, but Cowboys fans had to think their newly discovered fame had a longer shelf life than one week. Gundy may not be able to afford to go even 8-4."
Also from Bohls:
"Much kudos to Houston for its upset of Oklahoma State – if it was an upset. Give former athletic director Dave Maggard huge props for having hired Kevin Sumlin (from Oklahoma) and Art Briles before that. It says here, if you take a snapshot right this second, Houston is the second-best college football team in the state after Texas (and) right before Texas Tech."
Bohls also predicted that Sumlin is about to become "the hottest commodity in coaching."
