Less than a month before UH baseball’s season-opener in the team’s first Big 12 season, head coach Todd Whitting signed a new three-year deal with a base annual salary of $325,000.
Whitting’s previous contract — a five-year extension that was signed prior to the 2019 season — expired following the coach’s 13th season at the helm in July of 2023 after the Cougars were bounced in the AAC tournament by 7-seed Tulane. It marked the fourth straight season that UH baseball failed to reach an NCAA Regional since 2018.
The contract, which was obtained using Texas’ Public Information Act, largely retains the same terms as Whitting’s previous contract — including the $325,000 annual salary — but presents new buyout terms.
