Houston won four games in the first year of the Willie Fritz era, matching the win total in the final season under Dana Holgorsen. The Cougars enter their third year as Big 12 members with a 5-13 conference record. Fritz replaced both coordinators and added roughly 40 new faces to the roster through the transfer portal and traditional recruiting.
On our stop in Third Ward for the 2025 summer magazine, we spoke with Fritz, offensive coordinator Slade Nagle, and defensive coordinator Austin Armstrong about the Cougars as spring practices come to a close.
