Years of struggle are paying off for soccer head coach

If fans of Cougar athletics have learned anything over the last decade, it’s that when a team has the right coach and philosophy all it takes is patience to see results.

Tom Herman and the football team saw it, so did Todd Whitting from baseball and basketball’s Kelvin Sampson. Head coach Chris Pfau and the 5-1-1 soccer team are next.

The hardest thing for fans is to wait and they have done in the last four seasons. Pfau came to Houston with a plan to turn the program around, but it hasn’t always been easy.

Like most coaches, it took time for him to get the players who align with his system.
