The Big 12 Coach Who Stole Bill Snyder’s Secret

Houston head coach Willie Fritz joins John Kurtz at Big 12 Media Days to talk about why the Cougars could be one of the most interesting teams in the Big 12 this season. Fritz discusses the expectations around Houston football, the return of Connor Weigman, the Cougars’ improved offensive line, the addition of Makhi Hughes, the impact of the transfer portal, and why Houston’s offense could take a major step forward. He also explains what makes Keshawn Henderson such an exciting young quarterback and how the Cougars are navigating the modern college football world of NIL, the portal, roster limits and constant change. But one of the best moments comes when Fritz reveals the coaching trick he stole from legendary Kansas State coach Bill Snyder. Fritz explains why he still uses that Bill Snyder practice habit every day, why Snyder’s K-State rebuild remains the greatest turnaround in college football history, and what coaches can still learn from him today. Can Willie Fritz turn Houston into a real Big 12 problem? Is Connor Weigman ready for a breakout season? And does Houston have enough talent and continuity to surprise the league?
