If Houston is going to have any chance of retaining Tom Herman's services for the 2017 season, it's going to have to show commitment to excellence.
And by that I mean it must open its checkbook. It did so Thursday night when university regents voted to move forward on plans for a $20 million indoor football facility.
From chron.com:
The 80,000-square foot facility, to be built adjacent to TDECU Stadium, will include a 120-yard synthetic field and football-only sports performance area.
"This is the next piece of the puzzle for our football program to give them the assistance they need to compete and recruit on a national level," UH vice president of intercollegiate athletics Hunter Yurachek said during his presentation to regents.
One thing is for sure: Even if Herman leaves, he will do so leaving the Coogs better than when he found them.
