Given the imminent departure of Tom Herman, Houston is reportedly setting its sights on some notable names for its next head football coach.
Joseph Duarte of the Houston Chronicle reported the Cougars may target former offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen, now the head coach at West Virginia. Per Duarte, another name that is receiving some—albeit not much at the moment—consideration is former Baylor coach Art Briles, who coached the Cougars from 2003 to 2007.
Heather Dinich of ESPN.com reported Texas will officially announce Herman as its next coach later Saturday.
