Houston hired Tulane coach Willie Fritz for its vacancy, the school announced Sunday.
“We are thrilled to welcome coach Fritz to the University of Houston, and we look forward to him elevating our football program to new heights in the Big 12 conference,” president Renu Khator said.
“Coach Fritz has an impressive track record both on and off the field of maximizing the potential of student-athletes, which is a testament to his leadership. We’re excited to have him as part of our Cougar Family and look forward to more exciting moments next fall at TDECU Stadium.”
