Former UCLA head coach Bob Toledo has been hired as Tulane's new head coach, sources told ESPN's Jim Donnan. Toledo, who is currently New Mexico's offensive coordinator, replaces Chris Scelfo, who was fired on Nov. 28. Tulane scheduled a news conference for 5:30 p.m. ET on Monday to introduce its new coach.
Toledo was hired at New Mexico last year and helped head coach Rocky Long guide the Lobos to a 6-6 record and a berth in the inaugural New Mexico Bowl. Toledo coached at UCLA from 1996-2002, compiling a 49-32 record that included a school-record 20-game winning streak and two Pac-10 championships. Despite his successes, he was fired in 2002 by Dan Guerrero, then in his first year as UCLA's athletic director, who said he felt the program wasn't heading in the right direction after a 7-5 season.
