Are you a ULTIMATE Coog fan? Take home a one and only autographed U of H football by Coach Kevin Sumlin.

Sumlin becomes the 11th head coach in UH history, but more importantly, he becomes the first African-American to lead the prestigious Cougar Program. Sumlin is also the first African-American to be hired to lead a Division I-Football Bowl Subdivision program in the state of Texas. 

Sumlin has coached in nine bowl games, including five at Oklahoma (2008 Fiesta, 2007 Fiesta, 2005 Holiday, 2005 Orange, 2004 Sugar), one at Texas A&M (2002 GalleryFurniture.com) and three with Purdue (2002 Rose, 2000 Outback, 1998 Alamo.)  

A four-year letterman as a linebacker at Purdue (1983-86), Sumlin ended his career among the top 10 in tackles for the Boilermakers. He was named to Sports Illustrated's All-America walk-on list as a freshman after leading Purdue with 91 tackles.  

Sumlin was twice named Honorable Mention All-Big Ten while leading Purdue in tackles as both a junior and senior. He helped lead the Boilermakers to the 1984 Peach Bowl.
