Tom Herman
Before Herman became the head coach at the The University of Texas at Austin, he was head coach at the University of Houston. In 2015, he picked up a win at the American Athletic Conference. He’s still young, but he has so much potential.
Herman has lobbied for a 7-on-7 coaches system for high school coaches. It has been met with great approval and praise from coaches across Texas. A number of coaches posted pictures on Twitter of letters they received from Herman.
