Meet Tre Lamb: Tulsa Football's New Head Coach

The University of Tulsa has introduced Tre Lamb as its new head football coach. At 35, Lamb brings a reputation for transforming struggling programs and infusing energy into his teams.

Building a Track Record

Lamb comes to Tulsa from East Tennessee State University, where he led the football team to a significant turnaround. In one season, he improved their record from 3–8 to seven wins. Before that, he coached at Gardner-Webb, a challenging environment in college football, where he achieved a 10–1 conference record over two seasons and helped the team secure its first playoff win in 20 years.

Style and Approach

Lamb is known for his aggressive coaching style and energetic demeanor. Observers expect his leadership to bring a fresh dynamic to Tulsa’s football program.

Navigating NIL Challenges

As college athletics evolve with the introduction of Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) agreements, Lamb’s ability to adapt will be vital. His experience at East Tennessee State, while limited, sets a foundation as he transitions to a higher-profile program.

What’s Next for Tulsa Football?

Lamb’s hire reflects a broader trend in college football toward younger, innovative coaches who can rebuild and inspire teams. His first season is set to begin in 2025, and Tulsa fans are eager to see how his leadership will shape the program’s future.
