Former NFL Coach of the Year Bud Grant once said that “a good football coach needs a patient wife, a loyal dog and a great quarterback, but not necessarily in that order.”
If that’s the case, any coach that St. Thomas High School product Maddox Kopp plays for will be able to check at least one of those things off their list.
Fortunately for the Houston football team, Kopp’s coaches, for at least the next three years, will be the ones calling plays for the Cougars.
The 6-foot-5-inch pro-style quarterback signed his letter of intent to wear red on Saturdays in September of last year after a down-to-the-wire arms race between UH and Lane Kiffin’s Ole Miss program.
