Before becoming the head coach at Tulsa, Montgomery was at Baylor from 2008-through-2014. From 2008-11, Montgomery was co-offensive coordinator. He became the Bears’ sole offensive coordinator in 2012. In 2013, Montgomery was a finalist for the Broyles Award, which goes to the top assistant coach in college football.
Montgomery was also a co-coordinator at Houston in 2007.
