Houston's Tom Herman is the hottest coach in college football.
Charlie Strong was in the same position three years ago when the University of Texas hired him from the University of Louisville.
Will Muschamp was also in that toasty zip code six seasons ago. That's when he was hired by Florida after serving as Texas' head coach-in-waiting under Mack Brown.
Strong, who built his Louisville resume by beating Muschamp-coached Florida in the 2013 Sugar Bowl, was set to be fired Saturday morning after three mediocre seasons with the Longhorns.
Muschamp was fired two years ago by Florida after four seasons winning just 57 percent of his games with anemic offenses.
