Ohio State offensive coordinator Tom Herman accepted the Houston head coaching job in December but worked out a deal where he would be able to stick around as a Buckeyes coach and help lead the team to the national championship.
With Herman’s help, the Buckeyes offense looked great in the title game against Oregon and strong against Alabama.
Though Herman put in tons of work preparing Ohio State for Oregon, he still had his mind on his new job as Houston’s head coach. In fact, he had a Cougars hat with him that he even put on after the Buckeyes won it all.
Credit to Houston for allowing him to continue his duties with Ohio State and for also capitalizing on his success with some nice exposure for the program.
Here is the tweet they sent:

Not everyone appreciated Herman double-dipping. On his Instagram account, Maurice Clarett called Herman a “weenie” for ruining the moment by putting on his Cougars hat:
Clarett and other Buckeyes fans should be happy that Herman stayed on with his job rather than leave the team like many other coaches would have.
