Willie Fritz: A born winner arrives in Houston

The University of Houston wasted no time replacing Dana Holgorsen.

Houston’s coach for the last five seasons was fired just one week ago. Now the Cougars have their guy, Willie Fritz. A seasoned veteran of college football and a born winner, Fritz has a record that speaks for itself.

All the way back in 1993 Fritz began his head coaching career northwest of the Houston area at Blinn College. Across four seasons with the Blinn Buccaneers Fritz would lose a combined five games. In the 1995 and 1996 seasons the Buccaneers went a combined 24-0 and won two consecutive NJCAA National Championships.
