The Houston Cougars fired offensive coordinator Kevin Barbay on Tuesday with one game left on the schedule.
The Cougars (4-7, 3-5 Big 12) rank last among 134 FBS schools in scoring at 13.6 points per game, and last in the conference in total offense with 291.5 yards per game.
Head coach Willie Fritz’s squad finishes the season at No. 14 BYU on Saturday night in Provo, Utah.
“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.
