Houston trainer Tony Levine was fired Monday after three seasons in the institution, including two that featured winning records.
Levine was hired following the 2011 season, when Kevin Sumlin left to coach Texas A&M. Levine had been the Cougars’ receivers coach. Houston was 21-17 in three seasons under Levine, including 7-5 this season and 8-5 last season; the Cougars were 5-7 in 2012.
The Cougars will meet Pittsburgh in the Jan. 2 Armed Forces Bowl with defensive coordinator David Gibbs — the son of longtime NFL offensive line coach Alex Gibbs — as the interim coach.
Houston becomes the 12th FBS school which is going to have coaching change this year.

The very first day of Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston’s code of conduct hearing went "as expected," his advisor told reporters, as well as the hearing is anticipated to close Wednesday.
"We believe this nightmare is going to be over really shortly," David Cornwell, Winston’s advisor, told reporters following the hearing ended Tuesday.
The school’s hearing — that is closed to the people — facilities on sexual assault allegations against Winston from December 2012, and possible punishments vary from probation to expulsion.
Winston did not talk to the media before or after the hearing, but both sides got their points across before the hearing. Cornwell said the accuser and her lawyers were attempting "to do their extortion strategy." And John Clune, the accuser’s lawyer, said in a statement, "it is the day that Mr. Winston has been urgently trying to prevent for two years. … Neither Jameis Winston nor his attorney can quit what’s coming."

Stanford quarterback Kevin Hogan is injured; that much is known. The severity of the injury or even the specifics of the body part that hurts — well, Cardinal coach David Shaw won’t say.
Where does Stanford rank in CFB 24/7’s Top 25 Power Rankings?
Shaw did say Hogan seemed likely to play Friday when Stanford hosts to Washington State.
Hogan (6-foot-4, 225 pounds), a junior, suffered some sort of injury on his leg in last week’s loss to Notre Dame. Whether it was to his knee, ankle, foot, whatever — Stanford isn’t saying.

Stanford quarterback Kevin Hogan is injured; that much is known. The severity of the injury or even the specifics of the body part that hurts – – well, Cardinal coach David Shaw won’t say.
Shaw did say Hogan seemed likely to play Friday when Stanford plays host to Washington State.
Hogan (6-foot-4, 225 pounds), a junior, suffered some sort of injury on his leg in last week’s loss to Notre Dame. Whether it was to his knee, ankle, foot, whatever – – Stanford isn’t saying.
"All things point toward him hopefully being ready (for Friday),” Shaw told reporters Tuesday. "We were aware of it. There was no fear of further injury. He still had full range of motion. He still had full strength. After you play the game, it gets really sore, and that’s where he is. But we feel good about him being ready."

Two tailbacks have had multiple 200-yard games this season. One is Nebraska’s Ameer Abdullah, who is receiving all sorts of acclaim (and deservedly so). The other also plays in the Big Ten and isn’t receiving much (any?) attention: Minnesota’s David Cobb.
Cobb (5-foot-11, 220 pounds), a senior from Killeen, Texas, ran for 220 yards in a win over Middle Tennessee State and for 207 yards in a victory over San Jose State. He rushed for 183 yards in last week’s rout of Michigan and is eighth nationally at 144.4 rushing yards per game.
Cobb’s per-game average has him on a pace to rush for 1,732 yards, which would break the school single-season record by almost 300 yards; first-round pick Laurence Maroney rushed for 1,464 yards in 2005. Maroney had three 200-yard games that season, also a school single-season record, so Cobb could tie or break that mark, too.
Cobb lacks elite speed; he has been clocked in the 4.55 range in the 40. He is a downhill runner, though, and does a nice job picking and choosing his holes.
