Rankings from AP Poll

The 2023 Tulane Green Wave football team represented Tulane University in the American Athletic Conference (AAC) during the 2023 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Green Wave were led by Willie Fritz in his eighth year as head coach. They played their home games at Yulman Stadium in New Orleans, Louisiana.[1] They entered this season as the defending AAC champions.

On December 3, Fritz was hired as the head coach for the Houston Cougars.[2] Offensive coordinator Slade Nagle was named interim coach for the Military Bowl.[3] On December 9, Troy head coach Jon Sumrall was named as the Green Wave's new head coach.[4]

## Offseason

[edit]

Jim Svoboda, Tulane's former offensive coordinator, parted ways with the team after one season.[5] To replace him, Willie Fritz promoted seventh-year tight ends coach Slade Nagle to offensive coordinator, now Tulane's fourth offensive coordinator in as many years.[6]

Chris Hampton, Tulane's former defensive coordinator, was hired by Oregon as a co-defensive coordinator.[7] Lance Guidry was hired as his replacement on January 20, 2023, although Guidry left the job 18 days later for the same position at Miami.[8][9] On February 16, Tulane announced their new defensive coordinator to be Shiel Wood, the former defensive coordinator at Troy.[10]

Tulane would lose some outgoing players to the National Football League draft in the offseason: Tyjae Spears and Dorian Williams were both drafted in the third round of the 2023 NFL draft.[11] Nick Anderson, Larry Brooks, Macon Clark, Tyrick James, Will Wallace, Duece Watts, Shae Wyatt, and Lummie Young IV were all signed to the NFL as undrafted free agents as well.[12] However, co-captains Michael Pratt and Sincere Haynesworth announced they would return to Tulane for the 2023 season.[13]
