There once was a team called Phi Slama Jama
They could jump higher than a llama
They would slam and jam
And win every game they had
This team was really quite a drama
“4 paragraphs on the history of University of Houston Head Football Coach Bill Yeoman”
Several Errors in reply — Wikipedia has Coach born in Indiana in 1927. No mention below of playing at West Point. Coach did not pass away in 2013. 2nd paragraph seems all wrong.
Bill Yeoman was the head football coach at the University of Houston from 1962 to 1986. He was born on May 6, 1924 in Omaha, Nebraska. Yeoman attended the University of Nebraska where he played football as a fullback and earned his bachelor’s degree in physical education in 1946.
After graduation, Yeoman served in the military for a year before beginning his coaching career at his alma mater as an assistant coach. In 1952, he became the head coach at Hastings College in Nebraska and led the team to a conference championship in his first season.
In 1962, Yeoman was hired as the head football coach at the University of Houston. During his tenure at Houston, he led the Cougars to numerous conference championships and bowl game appearances. Yeoman is credited with developing the “Veer” offense, a highly successful offensive system that was adopted by many other teams.
Yeoman retired from coaching in 1986 with a career record of 160-108-8. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2001 and the University of Houston Athletic Hall of Honor in 2003. Yeoman passed away on April 27, 2013 at the age of 88.
