Article in Sports on Earth. The writer seems convinced that Tom Herman is going to stay in Houston.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To its credit, the university's board of regents met this week to approve a new offer in hopes of holding onto Herman. On Thursday, it was revealed to be $3 million per year, which would easily make him the highest-paid Group of Five coach. In the meantime, Herman has been busy building what's become a movement called #HTownTakeover .
Herman often cites a quote from ex-Houston coach Bill Yeoman, who once opined that swinging a dead cat in Houston would lead to hitting at least 10 Division I recruits.
On a particularly important recruiting weekend earlier this year, Herman invited 25 recruits from the area to campus, brought them into a room and showed them two films: ESPN's 30 for 30 film on the rise of Miami football, "The U," and a documentary called "The UH Experience," which recently captured three Lone Star Emmys.
What Herman's point lacked in subtlety, it possessed in clarity and audacity: Stay home in Houston and help me build a powerhouse that represents your home city.
Tom Herman quickly makes a big impact at Houston.
