Will Hall, who returned to Tulane in 2025 as its Passing Game Coordinator and Wide Receivers Coach, has been selected to be the program's new head coach, Ben Weiner Director of Athletics Chair David Harris announced on Monday, Dec. 8.
Hall, a highly accomplished head coach with 70 collegiate, rejoined Tulane in 2025 after serving as the program's Offensive Coordinator from 2019-2020, helping the Green Wave set offensive records and elevate the team's profile nationally. His offense in 2025 was a multi-threat unit, with four receivers catching 30 or more passes, led by Shazz Preston's four touchdowns, and quarterback Jake Retzlaff throwing for nearly 3,000 yards and 14 touchdowns.
Prior to his current stint at Tulane, Hall spent three-plus seasons as head coach at the University of Southern Mississippi, guiding the Golden Eagles through transitions in conference affiliation and a 38-24 victory in the 2022 Lending Tree Bowl over Rice. Earlier that season, Hall's squad came into Yulman Stadium and knocked off the Cotton Bowl-bound Green Wave 27-24 in a year where Southern Miss faced three 10-win opponents.
A native of Amory, Mississippi, Hall made an immediate impact on the Tulane offense during his offensive coordinator stint, helping the Green Wave rewrite its offensive record books. The Green Wave finished the 2019 season ranked 11th in the nation in rushing offense (243.2), 22nd in total offense (449.3) and 30th in scoring offense (33.1). Tulane rushed for more than 200 yards in nine games and 300 or more four times. The Tulane offense set the program record in rushing yards at 3,162 yards in 2019 and ranked second in program history in rushing yards per game (243.2), rushing touchdowns (33) and rushing first downs (166).
In 2020, the Green Wave enjoyed more success offensively as it finished No. 17 nationally in rushing offense (217.1), 19th in first downs (258) and 22nd in scoring offense (34.7).
Hall joined the Green Wave coaching staff after he spent the 2018 campaign as the Associate Head Coach/Tight Ends Coach at the University of Memphis where he helped guide the Tigers to the American Athletic Conference Championship game for the second straight season and helped the Tigers to their fifth straight bowl appearance.
During his lone season at Memphis, Hall helped guide the Tigers to a school record 42 rushing touchdowns during the regular season. In addition, Memphis finished the regular season with 3,311 rushing yards, setting a new school record. Memphis' offense ranked in the nation's top 10 in rushing (No. 5, 275.9), scoring offense (No. 6, 43.8) and total offense (No. 6, 530.3) under Hall's assistance.
Hall joined the Memphis staff in January 2018 after spending the 2017 season as the offensive coordinator for the Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns, where six offensive players received all-conference honors. The Cajuns ranked among the best in the nation in red zone offense and turnovers lost with just 16.
In his one season as offensive coordinator at Louisiana, the Ragin' Cajuns compiled the Sun Belt Conference's third-best rushing offense with 2,204 yards and 27 rushing touchdowns. The Louisiana offense tied for the second-fewest turnovers in the Sun Belt during the 2017 season. The Cajuns were also efficient in the red zone, leading the Sun Belt by scoring on 92.9-percent of their red zone chances.
In his three-year head coaching stint at West Georgia (UWG), Hall led the Wolves to a 31-9 record, the first Gulf South Conference (GSC) title since 2000 and a pair of NCAA Division II semifinal appearances. His first two seasons at UWG produced a pair of 12-win seasons before he finished 7-4 in 2016. Hall was twice named GSC Coach of the Year and was the Super Region 2 Coach of the Year.
From 2011-13 as the head coach at West Alabama, his teams won two league titles and twice earned spots in the NCAA Division II Playoffs.
Prior to his six seasons at West Alabama, Hall enjoyed successful stints on the coaching staffs at Arkansas-Monticello, Southwest Baptist, Henderson State and Presbyterian. Hall's achievements in the coaching profession are a carryover from his illustrious career on the playing field at North Alabama.
Hall played for his father, Bobby Hall, at Amory High School leading the Panthers to the 1998 Mississippi High School Athletic Association (MHSAA) Class 3A state title. From 1999-2000, he attended Northwest Mississippi Community College, where he was a two-time National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) All-American. In 2000, Hall set a NJCAA record for total offense in a season (4,075 yards) and added an NJCAA single-game record with nine touchdown passes.
Hall then moved to North Alabama, where he was a quarterback for the Lions from 2002-03. He won the Harlan Hill Trophy in 2003, emblematic of being America's top player in NCAA Division II. In 2003, Hall, who threw for 3,531 yards and 30 touchdowns, led the Lions to a 13-1 record and an NCAA Division II semifinals appearance.
In 2004, Hall signed a contract to play for the Tupelo FireAnts of the National Indoor Football League. Playing once again for his father, who was the head coach for the team, Hall passed for 2,046 yards and 44 touchdowns while rushing for 13 scores in the 14-game season.
