Once upon a time, Houston fired Major Applewhite for a four-loss season. And Houston proudly harrumphed, “we fire coaches for going 8-4.” Houston may barely go 8-4 this season. Yet current coach Dana Holgorsen is not in College Football betting trouble. By contrast, Tulsa coach Philip Montgomery has a likely date with the firing squad after Saturday’s game at Houston. Cause by Montgomery’s Golden Hurricane failing to go bowling this year. That is the fourth season without a bowl game in the last six. Thus, Tulsa is expected to can Monty this weekend.
