Dana Holgorsen is well into his first offseason as the new head of Houston football, but the former West Virginia head coach is no stranger to UH, the program or the city.
Back before Holgorsen’s Big East Conference Championship and historic 70-33 BCS win over Clemson with the Mountaineers in 2011 and 2012, respectively, the native of Davenport, Iowa was a small-town assistant coach at Valdosta State from 1993-95.
It would not be until 2000-07, when Holgorsen worked his way up to wide receiver coach and offensive coordinator at Texas Tech, that his annual offseason fling with Houston would begin.
