NEW ORLEANS -- Tulane has decided to fill its coaching vacancy with Troy's Jon Sumrall, who like his predecessor has posted consecutive seasons with more than 10 wins.
Sources tell ESPN's Pete Thamel that Tulane has given Sumrall a six-year deal.
Sumrall is replacing Willie Fritz, who left Tulane after eight seasons Sunday to take over at Houston.
The 41-year-old Sumrall has gone 23-4 at Troy in the past two seasons, winning back-to-back Sun Belt Conference championships. He'll take over a program that also won 23 games -- along with an American Athletic Conference title -- in the past two seasons.
