Houston Cougars Fire Head Coach Dana Holgorsen

Search for New Coach Begins as Team Aims to Regain Competitive Edge in Big 12 Conference

Houston Cougars fire head coach Dana Holgorsen after a disappointing 4-8 season, marking his third losing season in five years.
Despite a successful 12-2 season in 2021, the team's performance has declined, with troubling losses to rivals and a drop in recruiting rankings.
Potential candidates for the position include UTSA head coach Jeff Traylor, Texas State head coach GJ Kinne, and Texas special teams coordinator Jeff Banks.
Former TCU coach Gary Patterson, who has expressed a desire to return to coaching, could be a wildcard candidate.
Houston's search for a new head coach begins immediately, with the aim of restoring the team's competitive edge in the Big 12 Conference.
