Tulane expected to hire Shiel Wood as new defensive coordinator

Tulane is expected to hire Troy’s Shiel Wood as its new defensive coordinator, sources tell On3.

In his one year as Troy’s defensive coordinator, Wood helped the Trojans rank No. 8 nationally in scoring defense and finish with a 12-2 record.

Before Troy, Wood was an assistant coach at Army for two seasons after working at Georgia State, Georgia Tech and as a defensive coordinator at Wofford.

Wood will be the replacement for Chris Hampton, who left Tulane to take a co-defensive coordinator and safeties coach job at Oregon.
