UH unveiled a statue of former Cougar football head coach Bill Yeoman as part of Fan Appreciation Day at TDECU Stadium Sunday afternoon.
“It was a no-brainer to have coach Yeoman represent us, he defines the history and rich tradition of Houston football,” Vice President for Intercollegiate Athletics Hunter Yurachek said. “As you build a new football stadium like this, you want to display that history and he is that history.”
Yeoman coached the Cougars from 1962 to 1986 and left an undeniable mark on the program, elevating it from relative obscurity to national prominence during his distinguished 25-year tenure.
