Houston Fires Offensive Coordinator Kevin Barbay After Offensive Woes
The Cougars rank last in scoring nationwide, prompting leadership changes ahead of their season finale against BYU.
- Kevin Barbay was dismissed after one season as Houston's offensive coordinator, with the team struggling to meet offensive expectations under his leadership.
- The Cougars rank last among all FBS teams in scoring offense, averaging just 13.6 points per game, and have failed to score an offensive touchdown in four games this season.
- Quarterbacks coach and passing game coordinator Shawn Bell will serve as the interim offensive coordinator for the team's final game against No. 19 BYU.
- Houston's offense has been plagued by inefficiency, including a midseason quarterback change and a combined total of just eight touchdown passes and 15 interceptions from its quarterbacks.
- Barbay, who joined the team this year from Mississippi State, had one year remaining on his contract and will be owed $750,000 by Houston.
