Houston Football's Road to Bowl Eligibility

A lot has happened in the three years since Houston football last went bowling.

Former head coach Dana Holgorsen was relieved of his duties in November 2023, following a tumultuous season in which the Cougars underachieved, finishing 4-8 and missing out on a bowl appearance for the first time since 2019.

Houston sought a new leader to transform them from a conference competitor to a contender, leading to the hiring of Tulane's long-time coach Willie Fritz in the fall of 2023.

Fritz had previously led the Green Wave to successful seasons, including 12-2 and 11-3 records in 2022 and 2023, respectively, after a 2-10 finish in 2021.
