Houston football head coach Willie Fritz was unveiled as the 16th head coach of the Houston Cougars for the first time on Monday in an open event at TDECU Stadium.

Fritz was introduced alongside University of Houston President Renu Khator, UH System Board of Regents Chairman Tilman Fertitta and Vice President for Athletics Chris Pezman.

“We think this is the guy to win here at the University of Houston for many years to come,” Fertitta said.

Khator identified Fritz, the sixth head coach under her tenure as having an opportunity unlike that of his predecessors while thanking previous coaches for their role in building the program up to the present.
