HOUSTON (AP) — Tom Herman will soon have about $15,000 worth of gold and diamonds in his mouth.
The Houston coach promised the Cougars that if they won the American Athletic Conference title he'd get a custom-made grill to wear over his teeth.
The 14th-ranked Cougars did just that with a win over Temple on Dec. 5, so on Tuesday the first-year coach made good on the promise by meeting with Grammy-nominated Houston rapper Paul Wall to get fitted for the mouth jewelry.
Wall and Johnny Dang, who own a company that specializes in creating the pricey grills, visited the football offices at the school to fit Herman.
