Tom Herman kicked boosters out of first-class, gave spots to linemen

quote:

---

up until Coach Herman took the reigns, Houston boosters occupied first class seats when the Cougars traveled to away games. Not anymore. Louisville marked the first game where it all changed. Coach calls his linemen “gladiators” because they literally bleed on the line week after week. In football nobody gets pounded harder than the front 5. He said if he wants to treat them like first class, he wants to give them first class. He wants to make sure they're comfortable and taken care of because they take care of us on gamedays.

I asked Coach if he received any backlash from boosters about the switch and he candidly conveyed he didn’t care because they deserve it. And they’re the ones who help us win football games.
