Recently, the University of Tulsa fired head football coach Kevin Wilson after going 7-16 over nearly two seasons. Here is a look at the Tulsa Golden Hurricane
football program since 2008 (the
first year that in which I have data for the model).
This time period only covers the last three seasons of head football
coach Todd Graham (2008-2010), Bill Blankenship (2011-2014), Philip Montgomery (2015-2022) and Kevin Wilson (2023-2024*). After the figure below is a more
detailed look at
the Tulsa Golden Hurricanes football program during head coach Wilson's
tenure based on the Complex Invasion College Football Production Model using data provided by www.cfbstats.com. (The vertical school color bars represent seasons where head coaches changed).

Tulsa finished the regular season at 4-8, and were bowl ineligible. The Golden Hurricanes
played against an “average”
strength
of schedule (SOS), meaning that Tulsa's SOS was plus or minus one
standard deviation of the "leagues" average SOS. Tulsa's best win was over #64 ranked Northern Illinois by a score of (22-14) and their worst
loss was to #113 ranked Charlotte (26-33).
Tulsa was the #122 ranked team overall, with the #91 ranked

After
a 3-8 start to the 2024 season Wilson was fired. Tulsa has currently played against an “easier”
strength
of schedule (SOS), meaning that Tulsa's SOS was between one
and two standard deviations higher than the "leagues" average SOS. Tulsa's
best victory was against currently #77 ranked UTSA by a score of (46-45)
and their
current worst loss was to #131 ranked Temple by a score of (10-20).
Tulsa is currently the #124 ranked team overall, with the #58 ranked
