“We are grateful to Kevin for his dedication and contributions to our football program this season,” Fritz said in a statement. “As we continue to assess every aspect of our program, it is clear we have not met our offensive standards. … Our focus is on finishing the season strong Saturday against BYU.”
Barbay, 41, was in his first season at Houston after serving as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Mississippi State (2023), Appalachian State (2022), Central Michigan (2021) and Stephen F. Austin (2018).
Barbay had one year remaining and will be owed $750,000 by Houston, pending potential offsets from any future employment
