'Houston is home': Inside Dana Holgorsen's big rebuild

HOUSTON -- It's mid-May in south Houston and Dana Holgorsen is holding court.

He's perched on a barstool next to two friends, TCU coach Gary Patterson and former Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops. They agreed to host a roundtable discussion for the Houston Touchdown Club (the organization usually hosts luncheons for the region's power programs with one coach as speaker). Holgorsen, dressed in a red Nike polo with "UH" on his left breast and black jeans, is the star of the show.

Immediately after swiping the microphone, he turns it into a comedy hour, reminding Patterson that TCU lost not once, but twice, in Morgantown, West Virginia, and ruing the day he endorsed Lincoln Riley to Stoops when the latter was looking for an offensive coordinator.
