In the aftermath of the worst bowl loss in FBS history, Houston Cougars head coach Major Applewhite’s job is now in jeopardy after nine combined losses in the last two seasons at a program that sees itself as better than that.
According to the reports from SB Nation and FootballScoop.com, boosters are evaluating potential replacements for Applewhite, including former offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen, coming off his eighth season in Morgantown with an ugly loss in the Camping World Bowl to Syracuse. With massive turnover coming on offense and the struggles of Jack Allison against the Orange, the Mountaineers could be on the verge of significant regression.
