LSU special teams coordinator and tight ends coach Slade Nagle will be the next offensive coordinator at Houston, sources tell FootballScoop.
Nagle worked under Willie Fritz for the entirety of his 8-year run at Tulane, beginning as tight ends coach and ending as assistant head coach, offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. The Green Wave went 11-3 and reached the American Championship in 2023, a run that earned Fritz the Houston job.
Fritz opted to hire Mississippi State's Kevin Barbay as his offensive coordinator at Houston, an arrangement that lasted 11 games.
Nagle has two other offensive coordinator stints on his resume, having served in the role at Dodge City Community College and Northwestern State from 2004-09.
Fritz is replacing both coordinators following his debut at Houston. Defensive coordinator Shiel Wood took the same role at Texas Tech on Tuesday.
