UH Athletics announced on Wednesday that West Virginia’s Dana Holgerson would be leaving Morgantown to come to Houston as its next head coach.
The hire comes just three days after the University fired Major Applewhite after his second season at the helm.
“I’m beyond excited for the opportunity to return to Houston and lead this program,” said Holgerson.
“This city and the University of Houston has unlimited potential and I am honored to be a part of it. I’d like to thank Tilman Feritta, Renu Khator and Chris Pezman for their trust in my plan.
