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]
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]
