Tulane Football Seeks New Head Coach as Willie Fritz Moves to Houston

School plans to hire a replacement 'within the week', with several potential candidates in the mix.

Tulane's head coach, Willie Fritz, has accepted the head coaching job at Houston, leaving Tulane in need of a new head coach.
Fritz led Tulane to a remarkable 23-4 run over the last two years, including a 2022 American Athletic Conference championship and a Cotton Bowl win over USC.
Tulane's school president, Michael A. Fitts, stated they plan to hire a new head coach 'within the week'.
Potential candidates for the Tulane job include offensive coordinator Slade Nagle, Florida State offensive coordinator Alex Atkins, LSU quarterbacks coach Joe Sloan, Missouri defensive coordinator Blake Baker, and others.
Tulane's star quarterback, Michael Pratt, is likely to leave, either for the NFL or as a transfer, which the new coach will need to address.
