The Houston Cougars officially fired head coach Dana Holgorsen on Sunday after five seasons. Houston named tight ends coach Corby Meekins as the interim while the search for Holgorsen’s replacement begins.
This is the Cougars’ first coaching search since the 2019 offseason when they hired Holgorsen on New Year’s Day to replace Major Applewhite. Five years later, much has changed within the program. Houston since transitioned from the American Athletic Conference to the Big 12, competing with the likes of TCU, Texas Tech, and Baylor not only in recruiting, but also on the gridiron. The Cougars will enter year two of Big 12 membership with new leadership, and the search for that head coach is on.
