I’ll admit, I’ve been a bit perplexed by the reaction of the UH fan base to Tom Herman’s departure from Houston. If any fan base should be used to the cruel heart break of head coaching infidelity, it should certainly be the Cougars.

Previous coach Dana Dimel guided the program to an 8-26 record under his watch, including the Cougars’ lone winless season (2001).
