Slade Nagle will not join Willie Fritz at Houston after all
Slade Nagle, Willie Fritz's offensive coordinator this season at Tulane, will not join him at Houston after all. Multiple outlets reported Tuesday that Nagle has decided to pursue other options after previously agreeing to do so.
A Lake Charles, La., native, Nagle is close to a Louisiana lifer.
He signed with Clemson out of high school but finished his collegiate career at McNeese in 2001.
Nagle entered coaching at Northwestern State in 2002 and coached there again in 2006 as quarterbacks and wide receivers coach. He spent 2009 at LSU working with special teams, and 2012-15 at McNeese coaching running backs and special teams.
Nagle was Fritz's tight ends coach for his first seven seasons at Tulane but rose to associate head coach, offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. He also coached previously at Dodge City Community College, Central Arkansas and Texas State.
