Major Applewhite out as University of Houston head coach

3. I'm a bit surprised.

Usually, they give new coaches three years to prove themselves. He had winning records in both years so a blowout game shouldn't have determined his fate.

I'm also wondering if there might be something going on in his personal life that might garner some bad publicity? His extracurricular activities, while he was coaching at UT, should be a red flag to any employer. I was surprised that he was hired as a head coach anywhere.

And if Major is reading this, the Texas Workforce Commission requires you to make three job contacts each week and maintain a job log in order to receive unemployment benefits. The maximum benefit is $494 per week. Your job logs may be randomly audited to verify compliance with other TWC rules.
