Lou Hernandez Bringing Texas Toughness And Influence To North Carolina

Posted Dec 29, 2016
Lou Hernandez loves Texas. It’s his home state and you can see the pride he has when talking about Texas and his hometown of Alice. But, like most of the Tar Heels in town for the Sun Bowl, coming to a city that’s a 10-hour drive away is a new adventure for him. Hernandez is UNC’s strength and conditioning coach and was brought on to Larry Fedora’s staff in 2012. (Texas HS Football)
