Tulane has been one of the best programs in the American Conference and the Group of Six in the past few years.
In 2025, the Green Wave went 10-2 during the regular season with two Power Four wins, including a victory over ACC champion Duke. Then they followed that by beating North Texas in the AC Championship to earn a spot in the College Football Playoff, where they lost in the first round to Ole Miss.
But for the second time in two years, Tulane went through a coaching change. Jon Sumrall is now at Florida, and former Southern Miss head coach and Green Wave assistant Will Hall is at the helm.
Here’s more about Hall and his resume:

Tulane Head Coach Will Hall’s Background
Hall does have head coaching experience, but it wasn’t always smooth for him.
He spent four seasons at Southern Miss and was above .500 for just one of them. The Golden Eagles went 7-6 in 2022, winning the LendingTree Bowl that year. But otherwise, USM was never better than 3-9 during his tenure.
Before going to Southern Miss, Hall was a successful head coach at the Division II level.
He was 56-20 as a head coach after going 25-11 at West Alabama from 2011-13 and 31-9 at West Georgia from 2014-16. These teams made four appearances in the Division II playoffs, including two semifinal berths in 2014 and 2015.
Hall was the offensive coordinator at Tulane from 2019-20 prior to taking over at Southern Miss. He was also an associate head coach and tight ends coach at Memphis in 2018 and an OC and quarterbacks coach at Louisiana in 2017.
Hall was also an OC at West Alabama (2008-10), Arkansas Monticello (2007), and Southwest Baptist (2006). He got his start as a college coach while working with quarterbacks at Presbyterian in 2004 before coaching the same position at Henderson State in 2005. As a player, he was a two-time junior college All-American quarterback at Northwest Mississippi Community College before going to North Alabama. There he won the Harlon Hill Trophy, which goes to the Division II MVP, in 2003.
