Sources close to the Tulane football program revealed on Tuesday that Air Force coach Troy Calhoun and Army coach Jeff Monken were among several candidates interviewed in a process targeting, but not limited to, sitting head coaches to replace former coach Willie Fritz.

A source added the Green Wave, which intends to announce a hiring by Friday, remained highly interested in Florida State offensive coordinator Alex Atkins and Troy coach Jon Sumrall, both of whom were assistants with the Wave in the past.

That's a nice list for Tulane
I think Monken would do a really good job at Tulane

They should go all in for Sumrall if he's available. I thought he could've been a candidate for 8-4

I've been seeing some stuff that Sumrall is holding out for a P5 job.

I think Tulane would be a better stepping stone for that.

Monken runs a triple option. Would Tulane change the scheme so drastically?

Fun fact: Monken and Fritz both coached Georgia Southern

Army moved away from the Trip Option this year and went to a shotgun team

Army's O is still triple option bread-and-butter/principles, but run from spread formations
