Potential OC replacements for Houston Cougars include Seth Littrell, Jake Spavital, Graham Harrell

The Houston offense will be under new leadership when the Cougars reach the Big 12 in the fall because offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson is taking the same gig at Miami. Dawson, who helped the Cougars to a 20-7 record over the past two seasons, engineered a high-powered offense led by quarterback Clayton Tune and wide receiver Nathaniel Dell. 

Houston averaged 36.1 points per game in 2022, which was 16th in the nation. The Cougars were 15thnationally in 2021 when they averaged 35.9 points per game during a 12-win campaign that culminated in a bowl win over Auburn and a trip to the AAC title game.
