The University of Tulsa has selected Philip Montgomery as the school’s 29th head football coach, Vice President & Director of Athletics Derrick Gragg announced today. Montgomery will be introduced to the public at a university press conference Monday on the TU campus.
Montgomery has logged nearly two decades of coaching experience, including the past seven (2008-14) at Baylor where he most recently has served as the offensive coordinator for the Big 12 powerhouse. The Bears have posted 10 or more wins in three of the last four years, including 11 victories in the 2013 and 2014 seasons. This year, Baylor has produced an 11-1 record and No. 4 ranking in the Associated Press poll.
“We are extremely pleased to have Philip Montgomery as our head football coach,” said Gragg. “Coach Montgomery has outstanding background as a collegiate coach and recruiter. He is one of the bright offensive minds in college football and has coordinated explosive offenses at both Houston and Baylor.”
A Texas native, Montgomery first began his association with Art Briles at Stephenville High School and has coached alongside Baylor's head coach for 16 seasons. Montgomery moved with Briles to the University of Houston in 2003 and spent five years (2003-07) with the Cougars.
