Preparations for the 2024 Dave Campbell’s summer magazine begin in April and that means stops at every FBS level for our staff. The first stop for me on the spring tour was to see Willie Fritz and his Houston Cougars.
This is not a wholly original thought, but I believe in the “New Partner Theory” when it comes to hiring coaches. Basically, just how you’d want your new girlfriend/boyfriend to be the opposite of your last failed fling, so do college administrations when replacing a failed head coach. You’d be hard pressed to find bigger opposites than Dana Holgorsen and Fritz.
