Curtis Johnson Fired by Tulane: Latest Details, Comments, Reaction

After four seasons as head football coach at Tulane, Curtis Johnson has reportedly been fired by the school following a 3-9 record in 2015.

Thayer Evans of Sports Illustrated first reported Johnson's firing. ESPN's Brett McMurphy confirmed the move by Tulane.

Johnson's firing isn't a surprise, as it has been a matter of when, not if, Tulane would opt to go in a different direction. Dan Wolken of USA Today reported Wednesday the school was "set to part ways" with the 54-year-old.

Johnson took over a bad situation, as the Green Wave won two games the season before he arrived, and briefly turned the program around, with seven wins in 2013 and a bowl appearance.
