Dec. 8 (UPI) -- Tulane promoted assistant Will Hall to head football coach, the school announced Monday. Hall will replace Jon Sumrall, who will coach Florida.
"I'm truly honored to accept this opportunity to serve as Tulane's head football coach," Hall said in a news release.
"Tulane has been a special place for me. I've felt the unique spirit of Tulane and the strength of its culture. I'm excited to lead this program with a deep respect for its history, its people and the city of New Orleans.
"Together, we'll build on our success and continue to embody the resilience, pride, and excellence that make Tulane and this community so extraordinary."
Hall severed as Tulane's offensive coordinator for 2019 to 2020. He took over as head coach at Southern Mississippi from 2021 to 2024, but returned this year to work as the Green Wave's passing game coordinator and wide receivers coach.
Hall, who also coached at West Alabama and West Georgia, has a 70-50 overall record. He went 14-30 in four seasons at Southern Mississippi. He also worked as an offensive coordinator and assistant at Louisiana and Memphis.
"We are thrilled to select Will Hall to be our head coach," Green Wave athletic director chairman David Harris said in a news release. "His character, integrity, and leadership qualities are evident both on and off the field.
"With extensive head coaching experience and a proven track record of success at every level, Will embodies the qualities we value in our program.
"We believe he is the right person to lead Tulane Football into its next chapter."
Sumrall will stay with the Green Wave (11-2) through the College Football Playoff. The 11th-seeded Green Wave will face No. 6 Ole Miss (11-1) in the first round Dec. 20 in Oxford, Miss.
