Houston fan thinks Cougars can poach Jimbo Fisher after joining Big 12
The Houston Cougars are expected to join the Big 12, which would make the program part of the Power 5. Houston is currently an AAC program. The AAC is recognized as part of the Group of 5. (The conference prefers to call itself part of the “Power 6.”) As a G5 program, Houston managed to hire away a Power 5 coach. Dana Holgorsen left West Virginia to be the Houston coach in January 2019.
One Houston fan, however, isn’t happy with Holgorsen. The Houston fan believes that with the program moving up to the Power 5, the Cougars can flex its “Big 12 muscles” and poach Jimbo Fisher from Texas A&M.

Considering Fisher is one of college football’s highest-paid coaches with Texas A&M ranked No. 5 and coming off of a New Year’s Six bowl win, the Aggies probably don’t have to worry about him leaving for Houston.
