The Tom Herman era of Houston football is over, and it’s Major Applewhite’s turn to take the reins.
As head coach, Applewhite has implemented some changes to the coaching staff’s structure that may be unfamiliar to Cougar fans. Earlier in January, Applewhite finished hiring his staff. His completed staff, however, looks different from last year’s staff under Herman and from most other schools’ programs.
They believe this new format will improve the Cougars next season.
“The main thing going through this was to make sure we had it right,” Applewhite said in a news conference.
The biggest change in Applewhite’s coaching structure is the lack of a dedicated special teams coordinator.
