Since he’s arrived at Houston, head football coach Tom Herman has championed the city of Houston, as well as UH.
Herman has said numerous times that the Cougars play for Houston and want to do well for the city to make them proud. This past season, UH has been the place to go if you want to see winning football in this city, and it looks like it might stay that way. More than that, Herman has bought into the city itself and seemingly adopted it as his own.
Before the season started, Herman made a promise to his team that if they won the American Athletic Conference championship, he would get himself a grill.
