The head coaching job at Tulsa is one that can propel a coach into a posh Power Five conference job, but has significant hurdles that make it very tough.
I'll be honest, I was unaware how impressive the history of Tulsa Golden Hurricane football has been. The relative outpost of the AAC is one of the conference leaders in bowl berths and conference championships, dating back to when virtually the entire AAC was part of Conference USA.
The last 30 years have been an interesting climb for Tulsa from the WAC to C-USA to the AAC and lots of bowls.
