Bill Yeoman, the winningest coach in the history of the Houston football program and an offensive pioneer in the game, died Wednesday in Houston.
“It was a great life,” his son, Bill Yeoman Jr. told Fox 26. “Very few people live a life as charmed as his.”
The 25-year tenured head coach, who was with the University from the early ’60s to the late ’80s, won 160 games as the leader of the Cougars. He is credited for inventing the veer formation offense. He took UH to 11 bowl games during his tenure, winning six of them.
