Report: Houston "considering" going after Dana Holgorsen
ByAustin Nivison
There aren’t too many instances, if any, in college football of Power Five head coaches willingly leaving their school for a Group of Five job. Coaches will take the step down after getting fired or getting forced out, but you almost never see a coach with decent job security make the move to a smaller program. Despite that, it sounds like Houston is considering going after West Virginia if it fires
Major Applewhite.
Football Scoop cites wealthy Houston booster Tilman Fertitta as the reason that Holgorsen may move from Morgantown to Houston. Holgorsen was the offensive coordinator for the Cougars under Sumlin, and he apparently developed a friendship with Fertitta. Since then, Holgorsen has compiled a 61-41 record in eight seasons with the Mountaineers. The booster has already shown a willingness to open up his bank account to help the football program. Look no further than the $20 million Fertitta coughed up to build The Fertitta center. If he wants Holgorsen, it’s fair to think he’d be willing to fund the hire, at least in part.
