Montgomery took the Tulsa job in December 2014, departing his post as Baylor’s offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. Tulsa posted a 43-53 in 8 seasons under Montgomery.
The best season of Montgomery’s tenure came in 2016 when Tulsa went 10-3 with a win in the Miami Beach bowl. In the shortened 2020 college football season, Tulsa went 6-3, reaching its first-ever AAC Championship Game and accepting a bid to play in the Armed Forces Bowl.
Last year, Tulsa went 7-6 and won the Myrtle Beach Bowl. This season, the Golden Hurricane finished 5-7 overall and 3-5 in conference play. Tulsa defeated Houston 37-30 on Saturday.
