UH, Herman Agree "In Principle" on New Deal

Tom Herman says he is staying at Houston, and that will make several fan bases searching for a coach very sad.

Tom Herman, the hottest name in the sport of "College Coaching Musical Chairs," has apparently decided to sit this dance out.

Herman, the first year coach at Houston, with a glittering 11-1 record and a spot in the American Athletic Conference's Championship game, said Monday that he and his UH bosses have agreed, in principle, on a new contract. Herman has been the hot name bandied about as many as 15 D-1 programs are already looking for a new football coach.
