Dana Holgorsen is known for play-calling wiz- ardry, but his creative dexterity is best displayed at the room-length whiteboard adjacent to his office in the University of Houston’s Athletics and Alumni Center.
The board is covered with magnets bearing the names and faces of each player on the UH roster, grouped by position. Before spring ball began, writ- ten in felt-tip marker alongside each magnet was the player’s years of eligibility and grade-point average, noting those who needed work in the classroom and those who will be around for the long haul of what Holgorsen believes will be UH’s re-emergence as a power program.
