Tre Lamb has been hired as the new head coach at Tulsa, the school announced Sunday night.
Lamb, 35, replaces Kevin Wilson, who went 7-16 in two seasons as coach of the Golden Hurricane. Wilson was dismissed prior to the 2024 season finale.
Lamb will be introduced during a news conference on Tuesday.
Lamb went 7-5 last season in his lone campaign at FCS program East Tennessee State. He spent the previous four seasons as coach of Gardner-Webb, going 20-20 with two FCS playoff appearances.
“We are so excited for Tre and his family to join TU,” Tulsa athletic director Justin Moore said in a news release. “He is young, energetic and a proven winner. We feel he is exactly who we need to lead our program and restore a tradition of winning for Tulsa in this new era of college football.”
Lamb, a former quarterback at Tennessee Tech, is ready to revive a program that had five 10-win seasons between 2007-16 before falling on hard times.
“Being the head football coach at Tulsa is a responsibility I will not take lightly,” Lamb said in the news release. “We are going to compete for championships. Before we do that, I look forward to hiring a staff and building a roster our students and fans will be excited about.
“This (is) an opportunity of a lifetime. My family and I cannot wait to explore Tulsa and make it our home.”
The Golden Hurricane went 3-9 this season, including 1-7 in the American Athletic Conference.
