Sources: Hue Jackson landing highly regarded FBS assistant, Louisiana native as Grambling OC
From growing up in Louisiana to breaking into the coaching ranks at the state's high school level to his work the past two years helping Terry Bowden turn around UL-Monroe football, Tony Hull has touched just about every level of football in his native state.
Now Hull, a former standout player at Louisiana Lafayette who worked for NASA before entering the coaching ranks, is poised to get a chance to call offensive plays at the Football Championship Subdivision level.
With previous Power 5 experience on staff at Kansas, where he helped the Jayhawks' running backs to All-Big 12 honors and saw Khalil Herbert develop into an NFL Draft pick, Hull is set to become Hue Jackson's offensive coordinator at Grambling, multiple sources this week tell FootballScoop.
In the past two seasons at Monroe, Hull has coached first the Warhawks' wideouts and then transitioned to his more natural role of coaching running backs.
During Hull's nine-year run atop the Warren Easton High School program in New Orleans, he led them to Louisiana State Playoffs berths in seven seasons.
Grambling won two of its final four games in 2022 to post a 3-8 mark in the first year under Jackson, a longtime NFL offensive coordinator who also served as a head coach in the league for the Cleveland Browns and then-Oakland Raiders.
Grambling's final 2023 schedule is yet to be completed, but the Tigers have an early-September clash in Baton Rouge against LSU.
