US EditionTulane Taps Green Wave Passing Coordinator Will Hall to Succeed Coach Jon Sumrall After the CFP
Will Hall, promoted during Tulane's College Football Playoff run, aims to sustain momentum after 43 wins in four years despite a challenging head-coaching record at Southern Miss.
- On Dec. 8, 2025, Tulane promoted passing game coordinator Will Hall to head coach as the Green Wave pursues the College Football Playoff this season.
- Amid a desire for staff continuity, Tulane tapped Will Hall, who previously served as offensive coordinator in 2019-20 under Willie Fritz and returned under Jon Sumrall after Southern Miss.
- Hall's résumé mixes Division II success with an uneven FBS record, going 14-30 at Southern Miss with one bowl in 2022 and previously guiding West Alabama and West Georgia to a 56-20 record.
- Hall steps in while Sumrall coaches the Green Wave through the CFP, replacing Jon Sumrall who will join the University of Florida after the season.
- The selection represents a gamble that could define AD David Harris's tenure, as Hall was chosen over Jerry Mack and Shannon Dawson amid mixed reactions and Tulane's program momentum.
