Football starts to fill coaching roster

UH Athletics announced on Friday night seven members of Dana Holgorsen’s new staff, including five coaches.

Leading the new hires is former Cougar receiver, Tyron Carrier, who is returning to the team as the assistant head coach and receivers coach. Carrier played for the Cougars from 2008 through 2011.

As a player, Carrier set records for kickoff returns for a touchdown in a career and for making two or more receptions in all 53 games of his career.

As a coach, Carrier won FootballScoop’s Wide Receivers Coach of the Year award at West Virginia with Holgorsen and five players had at least 13 touchdown receptions.
