Willie Fritz has climbed nearly every mountain during his 30-plus years as a collegiate head coach. He won a pair of JUCO national championships at Blinn in the 90s, took Sam Houston to two FCS championship games in the 2010s, and conquered the G5 ranks with Tulane in 2022 when the Green Wave won the AAC and knocked off USC in a New Year’s Six bowl.
He only has one peak left to summit – the Power Four. So, when the Houston Cougars came calling after firing Dana Holgorsen, Fritz was all ears.
