The 2025 University of Houston baseball season did not meet my or our collective expectations, including those of Head Coach Todd Whitting. In several postseason conversations with me and our administration, Coach has reviewed this past season, and he shared with me his plans for 2026 as he understands that our results next year must be better. We will continue to support Coach Whitting, his staff and our student-athletes, to ensure they have the best opportunity for success on and off the field as we look forward to another year of Cougar Baseball.

What a bunch of effing BS. I am glad he is just now understanding that his “performance does not meet our collective expectations.” We all thought he was doing a great job up until the 2025 season. This must be quite a shock to TW and his program. What has he done in the last 7 years to deserve this whatsoever?
CTW is in the last year of his contract, correct? If that’s the case (I think Hughey finished out his deal as well…), then I expect him to be gone after next season. A potato like CTW can’t change what he is (and certainly won’t), and unless he starts eating magic Cheetos, there’s no reason to think we can luck his way into an at-large bid into the NCAAs.
It gives the AD cover to say he didnt fire him, because apparently he needs such cover. The move stinks of politics rather than sound administration or concern for the program, its players, or those whose money subsidizes CTW’s mediocrity.
You know I suspect it’s a money thing. We’ve spent money on bringing in a new coach for the WBB. CKS got his, deserved, extension. Weigman was brought in. New softball coach as well (I believe). We are a bit cash strapped at the moment, I assume.
What’s the point of putting this out in public? Does he think that just acknowledging what everyone has known for several years actually accomplishes something?
If you’re going to take some action, just do it; otherwise, STFU and do your job. We need to make a change, but this isn’t the way to do it.
What a f— weakling. If it’s a money thing then take out a f— loan until you get an infusion. The brand erosion from this regime is palpable.
The AD is a co-dependent.
Oh but this is it guys. He’ll be gone next year if he doesn’t fix it. Whatever.
He hasn’t done anything, but Pezman did with contracts for Holgorsen, Barbay, and Whitting and his staff. We owe Holgorsen and Barbay some 7-8 million dollars. I don’t like the decision, but I can understand it.
If “better” satisfies Nunez’s expectations, that’s really disappointing. Our results this year were better than last year’s. We went from a 112 RPI rank to 93 as of today. That is better, but it’s not good.
The only thing I get from Nunez’s statement is that he is “better” than Pezman.
