Discussion: Slade Nagle named UH Offensive Coordinator

They were happy he did an about face on the Houston job and came back. I took plenty of crap from Tulane fans on X when that happened

Someone help me here. Where did they rank in Time of Possession? Because as we know, Willie focuses on winning, not putting up a ton of points.

Upgrade. Good buy for our budget.

Funk, you’re right in that 90% oc coordinators don’t get the job
.

But he just came off two great seasons and his stock was at an all time high
.

Can’t blame him for taking his shot.

If he gives us a couple of double digit win seasons he’ll get a chance somewhere.

Yep. After he took over, as you pointed out, the offense looked a lot more vanilla. While they had a good season overall, they struggled offensively against SMU in the conference championship game. However, I think he’s a big upgrade over Barbay.

Now, if Fritz can find a competent DC that can keep the defense playing. Well, we have a chance to make some noise next year. Especially considering the QB we just signed. All we need now are some solid offensive lineman to block for the QB.

That seems to be the debate, who called the plays in the 2022 season?

Good hire, but we could have done better.

This hire will literally make or break Fritz’s Houston career.

No way he can produce an offense any where near as bad as this season.

If this OC, and our offense, continues to be bottom half of P4 horrible in the next 2 seasons
Fritz won’t get a 4th year here.

Isn’t averaging a FG a quarter alone enough to be better than this season?

Thank you. That’s what I was hoping for. While the flashy stats dropped off, the 2023 Tulane offense ranked 23rd nationally in Time Of Possession. Run the ball. Limit turnovers on offense. Force turnovers on defense. This was with G5 level recruits. If we can win a few more games and pick up more NIL donors, we could attract more offensive talent and have an offense more exciting than they had at Tulane.

Well, that’s generally who they were playing against.

Nagle did, even though he wasn’t OC in title.

Can’t imagine Nagle not being a major upgrade over what we had this year.

Nagle was Fritz’s original pick. That speaks volumes. We’ll be OK.
And the Louisiana recruits will keep coming. That’s big

Nagle coming offers needed stability. CWF and Nagle know each other inside out. That is great news.
