Edited sentence: After his success at Wyoming Dimel took on the Houston job, which looked like a step up from where he was.But the team collapsed down the stretch and lost the rest of their games to finish 3-8.Despite all the positive feelings from the first recruiting class, the 2001 season was unmitigated disaster and the Cougars went 0-11 on the season.Dimel stepped into a situation where fan support was at an all-time low and local coaches hated the program.During the off-season Dimel brought in one of the best rated UH recruiting classes in decades and began re-opening the local pipelines of talented players.In the 2000 season, the Cougars had a decent start, going 3-4 to open the season and featuring a wide-open offense that hadn't been seen in years.It was the first winless season in the history of Houston Cougar fotball.Needless to say Dimel had no idea what kind of situation he had gotten himself into.The team was obviously better in the 2002 season, but new athletic director Dave Maggard was fairly deadset on changing coaches if Dimel did not deliver a bowl season.While the lack of talent can probably be traced to the previous coaching staff, Dimel took the fall for the program's worst ever season
