Fritz is signed through the 2023 season, two years longer than the original deal when the Green Wave hired him in December of 2015.
Fritz, entering his third season, is 9-15 in New Orleans but came within a referee’s ruling on the last play of the 2017 finale at SMU of guiding the Green Wave to its second bowl bid in 15 years.
