Also wrote an article on coaching searches in college football:
Tom Herman’s departure opens up one of the most attractive jobs outside the Power Five, where three of the last four coaches (Art Briles, Kevin Sumlin and Herman) all won big and moved on. Houston mega-booster Tilman Fertitta, who made his fortune in the chain restaurant business and also owns the Golden Nugget hotel and casino in Las Vegas, is going to be a major factor in the search and has the resources to at least get the attention of some big names.
You notice anything interesting about that article?
The Houston head coaching update is listed with the power conference schools. There’s a specified section for G5 coaching searches, but that’s not where they placed the discussion of the UH vacancy.
Perception is slowly changing.
