Houston Cougars strength and conditioning coach John Lott has left the University of Houston athletics program to hold the same position for the New York Jets in the NFL, UH football head coach Kim Helton confirmed.
"We will evaluate the situation, post the job, and see what kind of response we get," Helton said.
Assistant strength and conditioning coach Lou Hernandez will be the interim coach, Helton said.
"I don't foresee it being a problem," he said.
