Houston is set to hire LSU assistant Slade Nagle as its offensive coordinator, reuniting him with coach Willie Fritz, sources confirmed to ESPN on Wednesday.
Nagle worked under Fritz at Tulane from 2016 to 2023, and spent the final season as the team's offensive coordinator. He served as Tulane's interim coach for the Military Bowl after Fritz left to take the Houston job.

Although Nagle was a candidate to join Fritz last winter, he ended up with LSU, coaching special teams and tight ends this season.
Nagle replaces Kevin Barbay, who was fired before Houston's season finale at BYU.
