Houston Cougars head coach Willie Fritz is turning to a familiar face for new offensive coordinator in former assistant Slade Nagle
Willie Fritz is putting the band back together as sources confirm that LSU tight ends and special team coach Slade Nagle is expected to become the next offensive coordinator at Houston. Naegle worked for Fritz at Tulane from 2016-23, starting as the tight ends coach and ending as the offensive quarterback and assistant head coach.
Tulane was 23-4 in Fritz’s last two seasons in New Orleans with Naegle by his side. It was Nagle who became interim coach for the Tulane bowl game after Fritz took the Houston job last season. He replaces Kevin Barbay.
