The University of Houston has made a major change to their football program, as they have hired Willie Fritz as their new head coach following the firing of Dana Holgorsen.
Fritz brings a wealth of experience to the program, having been a head coach at Sam Houston State, Central Missouri, and Georgia Southern. He was most recently the head coach at Tulane, where he led the Green Wave to a 7-6 record in 2019.
Fritz is known for his offensive prowess and his ability to develop quarterbacks. During his time at Tulane, he led the team to its first bowl game in six years and developed quarterback Justin McMillan into one of the most efficient passers in the American Athletic Conference.
Fritz is also known for his ability to recruit and develop talent. At Tulane, he was able to bring in some of the best high school players in Louisiana and turn them into productive college players. He also has a good eye for talent, as he was able to find and develop several players who went on to have successful NFL careers.
The University of Houston is hoping that Fritz can bring the same success to their program that he had at Tulane. With a new head coach and a talented roster, the Cougars are hoping to make a run at the American Athletic Conference title this season.
Only time will tell if Fritz can bring the same success to Houston that he had at Tulane, but one thing is for sure: the Cougars have made a major change to their football program and they are hoping it will pay off in the long run.
