Houston on Sunday fired football coach Dana Holgorsen, who had three losing seasons in his five years at the Cougars\' helm.
Houston went 4-8 in its inaugural Big 12 season, which included a loss at Rice in September and three straight losses to end the year. The Cougars finished 2-7 in the Big 12, with their wins coming in overtime against Baylor and on a last-second 49-yard touchdown against West Virginia.
The Cougars will owe Holgorsen nearly $14.8 million in buyout money, but it does include a mitigation clause that could lower the amount when Holgorsen gets another job.
