Tramel: Tulsa's Philip Montgomery has a tough job guiding Golden Hurricane through pandemic, school leadership turnover

STILLWATER — Tulsa football coach Philip Montgomery has a boss as the Golden Hurricane’s 2020 season begins. Don’t laugh. That wouldn’t have been the case a week ago, when OSU was scheduled to host TU at Boone Pickens Stadium.

Tulsa announced Friday that alumnus and former athletic director Rick Dickson will be TU’s interim AD, replacing Derrick Gragg, who is joining the NCAA. Gragg’s last official day on the job was Thursday, but he’s been mostly out of the loop while making the transition to Indianapolis.

Tulsa also has an interim university president. Sounds like an ideal situation for most football coaches, but these are strange times.
