Briggs: In spurning Miami, Jason Candle makes massive bet on himself and Toledo

I don’t know if the University of Toledo will have a great football team next season.

But I do know one thing.

Jason Candle believes it will.

For that reason, Rockets fans — no shortage of whom were ready to pack Candle’s bags for him — should be excited today.

With the Toledo coach opting to stay put rather than take his talents to South Beach to become the highly paid offensive coordinator at Miami, he’s betting on himself, his coaches, and his players.

He’s betting on the 2022 Rockets.

And he’s pushing all of his chips to the center.
