HOUSTON -- Here's a theory on Houston coach Dana Holgorsen: He's so disinterested in the approval of his peers, his fans -- pretty much anyone -- that his lack of ego actually affords him the opportunity to do things few other coaches would dare try.
Houston AD Chris Pezman considers this for a moment and then laughs.
"Well, you can start with his hair," he said.
If you know nothing else of Holgorsen, you know the hair. It's like a mullet. There's a genuine party in the back, and when Holgorsen is talking, he has a habit of running his fingers through those long, tightly curled locks.
