Commentary: 3-7 not ideal, but Cougars can bounce back in 2020
Despite a losing 2019 season, head football coach Dana Holgorsen looks optimistically forward to the upcoming 2020 season. The 3-7 losing 2019 record is the Cougars’ worst since 2012. | Kathryn Lenihan/The CougarHouston’s 3-7 record is not ideal. Not for the highest-paid Group of Five coach or the lowest-paid one.
For head coach Dana Holgorsen — who fits in the former category — the record is not a prideful one, no matter the gauntlet schedule, redshirts, injuries or a so-called culture shift. Holgorsen won’t roll over, regardless of whether the remaining two weeks of play — at Tulsa and against Navy at home— are meaningless for a team with bowl aspirations in every season of play.
