The University of Tulsa The University of Tulsa has its roots in the Presbyterian School for Indian Girls, a small boarding school in Muskogee, Indian Territory, which was founded in 1882 . In 1894, at the request of the Synod of Indian Territory, the Board of Home Missions of the Presbyterian Church elevated the academy’s status and chartered it as Henry Kendall College, a name that honored the first general secretary of the Home Missions Board . The first classes in the new college were held on September 12, 1894 . In the years following, financial difficulties prompted school officials to ask the Synod of Indian Territory to assume control, sell the school’s land and seek a new location . Successfully courted by the business and professional community of Tulsa, which was booming after the discovery of oil at Glenpool, Henry Kendall College moved to Tulsa in 1907, the year of Oklahoma’s statehood . Several years later, a new college, to be named after oilman Robert M . McFarlin, was proposed for the city . Aware that Tulsa was not large enough to support two competing colleges, the Henry Kendall College trustees proposed that the contemplated McFarlin College and Kendall College affiliate under the common name “The University of Tulsa .” McFarlin College never materialized, and a charter for the new University of Tulsa was approved on Nov . 9, 1920, by the Kendall College trustees . By 1928, the articles of incorporation had been amended to create the modern structure as an independent school

PHILIP MONTGOMERY
HEAD FOOTBALL COACH
SIXTH YEAR
P
hilip Montgomery is in his sixth season as head football coach at The University of Tulsa . Considered one of the brightest offensive minds in college football, Montgomery became Tulsa’s 29th head football coach on December 11, 2014 . Montgomery brought excitement back to H .A . Chapman Stadium with his potent offensive style in his first year as the Tulsa head coach, transforming a previous two-win team into a squad that won six games in 2015 . He led his first two teams to consecutive bowl game appearances and guided the 2016 team to a 10-win season, the 10th double-digit win campaign in school history . Montgomery became only the fourth head coach in school history to take his first two teams to bowl games . In year one, Tulsa ranked among the nation’s leaders the entire season for passing, scoring and total offense, while appearing in the 2015 Camping World Independence Bowl . Tula completed the 2015 season ranked 11th nationally in passing, 13th in total offense and 21st in scoring . After that first year, Montgomery’s second team took a giant leap by posting a 10-3 record, finishing in second place in the American Athletic Conference West Division and claiming a 55-10 victory over Central Michigan in the 2016 Miami Beach Bowl . The 2016 Tulsa squad finished the season among the nation’s best for total offense (527 .0), scoring offense (42 .5), rushing offense (261 .7) and passing (265 .3) . The Hurricane ranked 4th for total offense, 7th for scoring, 8th for rushing and 30th for passing . Tulsa’s offense also established an NCAA record in 2016, becoming the first team in FBS/DI history with a 3,000-yard passer (Dane Evans), two 1,000yard rushers (James Flanders and D’Angelo Brewer) and two 1,000-yard receivers (Keevan Lucas and Josh Atkinson) . Tulsa established 11 individual school records on offense in 2016, including nine career records, one sin-
gle-season and one single-game record . It was also an offense that set a school record with eight 300+ rushing games . The defensive unit has shown marked improvement since day one of Montgomery’s tenure and in 2018 held opponents to 120+ yards less than the year before while transitioning to a 3-3-5 defense . The Hurricane fielded a young squad, both offensively and defensively, during the 2017 campaign and suffered setbacks against three top-25 teams, while also losing two games on last-second field goals . Tulsa’s offense finished the 2017 campaign ranked 14th nationally in rushing with a 247 .3 average per game, while D’Angelo Brewer became the school’s and American Athletic Conference’s all-time rushing leader . Tulsa’s 2018 offense showed signs of a bright future with a red-shirt freshman quarterback, two sophomores leading the running attack and another sophomore leading the receiving corps in yards and receptions . In 2019, a season-ending 49-24 road win at East Carolina gave the Hurricane a 4-8 record with earlier wins over San Jose State, Wyoming and UCF . An overtime loss at #24 SMU and a last-second loss against #25 Memphis kept the Hurricane from bowl eligibility . Montgomery has compiled an overall 25-37 record after five seasons . In his tenure as a collegiate coach, Tulsa’s the 2016 season marked the 11th time that Montgomery helped take a team to a Bowl game . With Tulsa’s Miami Beach Bowl appearance after the 2016 campaign, Montgomery became just the fourth Tulsa head coach to take his first two teams to a bowl game . Before coming to Tulsa, Montgomery logged nearly two decades of coaching experience, including seven seasons (2008-14) at Baylor University, where he served as the offensive coordinator in his final four years for the Big 12 powerhouse . The Bears posted 10 or more wins in three of his last four seasons, including 11 victories in each of his last two years there . In 2014, Baylor produced an 11-1 record and ranked as high as

No . 4 in the Associated Press poll . A Texas native, Montgomery jumped from the high school level to the collegiate ranks in 2003 when he became the running backs and quarterback coach at the University of Houston . He then moved with head coach Art Briles to Baylor in 2008 . In his career, Montgomery has tutored several award-winning quarterbacks, including Big 12 Player of the Year Bryce Petty, Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III, Baylor All-American Nick Florence, Conference USA MVP Kevin Kolb and Houston standout Case Keenum . At Tulsa, quarterback Dane Evans completed his career in 2016 as the school’s all-time passing, total offense and TD passes leader under Montgomery’s tutelage . Following Baylor’s record-breaking 2013 Big 12 championship season, Montgomery was honored as the Offensive Coordinator of the Year by FootballScoop .com and was named a finalist for the Broyles Award given to the nation’s top assistant . In 2011, Montgomery was selected as the National Offensive Coordinator of the Year by Rivals .com and was the Quarterback Coach of the Year by SpeedTracs/ FootballScoop .com . Montgomery called plays for an offense ranked among the nation’s top two in each of his final four seasons at Baylor . In 2014, Baylor’s 581 .3 yards per game and 48 .8 points led the nation, while the Bears also led the nation in total offense in 2013 (618 .8) and ranked second in 2012 (572 .2) and 2011 (587 .1) . For three straight seasons at Baylor, each with a different quarterback, Montgomery’s pupils earned All-America honors . In 2013, Petty joined the list after throwing for 4,200 yards and 32 TDs . He finished seventh in the Heisman Trophy voting and was named the unanimous Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year . In 2012, Florence threw for a school-record 4,309 yards in 2012 and was named an honorable mention All-American by Sports Illustrated . As backfield coach in 2011 Montgomery coached two All-Americans on an offense that set or tied 101 school records . In addition to mentoring RG3, the most prolific quarterback in school history, he also tutored future NFL draftee Terrance Ganaway, who set Baylor single-season records for rushing yards and rushing TDs . The Bears completed that season with a 10-3 record and finished ranked 12th (Coaches) and 13th (AP) in the national polls . In 2010, Griffin III set or tied 11 school records, including the then-single-season passing mark with 3,501 yards . In all, Montgomery assisted a Baylor

offense that established 55 school records and ranked 13th nationally (475 .3) that season . Montgomery coached a 2008 Baylor backfield that was as productive as any BU offense in more than a decade . The Bears total points (28 .0), rushing yards (2,349) and rushing TDs (29) were the most since 1994, and the total offense average (376 .4) was the highest since 1995 . Griffin, who threw for 2,091 yards, rushed for 843 and accounted for 28 TDs in 2008, earned Freshman All-America honors under Montgomery’s tutelage . Montgomery arrived at Baylor following five seasons coaching the offensive backfield at Houston, and
serving as co-offensive coordinator in 2006 and 2007 . During his Houston tenure, the Cougar offense ranked as one of the nation’s most prolific . In the 2007 regular season, Houston ranked fourth nationally in total offense (513 .1), 10th in rushing offense (239 .9), 17th in scoring offense (36 .3) and 27th in passing offense (273 .2) . Prior to joining the Cougars’ coaching staff, Montgomery served one year as the offensive coordinator at Denton (Texas) High School and helped that team compile a 10-2 record and the 2002 Bi-district crown . Before that, Montgomery was the quarterback and backfield coach at Stephenville High School for six
seasons . He was an integral part of a program that won back-to-back Class 4A Division II state championships in 1998 and 1999 . A four-year letterman at Tarleton State, Montgomery began his coaching career as a student assistant at his alma mater, as he worked with the running backs and served as the summer weight room coordinator for two seasons .

Tulsa, Okla. is “Green Country” Geographically, Tulsa sits at the crossroads of America . Metaphorically, it is the crossroads of America . It’s where creative expression, sophistication and down-to-earth hospitality all converge in a lush natural setting to redefine what it means to be a modern American city . Tulsa is nestled in the northeastern quadrant of Oklahoma, right in the heart of “Green Country .” The rolling green hills and wooded terrain of the city lies at an elevation of 700 feet above sea level and offers a temperate climate . Tulsa’s enjoy 227 days of sunshine a year and an average daily temperature of 61 degrees . What began as Tulsee Town in 1836 under a sturdy oak tree, which still stands at 18th and Cheyenne Streets, is today the second largest city in Oklahoma . Tulsa was forever changed by the discovery of oil in 1901 and for a time was the Oil Capital of the U .S . Today, Tulsa offers enviable low cost of living combined with big city attractions and amenities . From world-class outdoor spaces to legendary music venues, Tulsa has an unexpected, dynamic quality of life without the sticker shock of other regions . Lots of cities have notable parks, but very few have a crown jewel like Gathering Place . This 100-acre riverfront park is situated in the heart of Tulsa . On par with visionary public spaces as Manhattan’s Central Park and Chicago’s Millennium Park, Gathering Place blends nature in an urban setting, providing Tulsans and visitors more space to play, relax and gather together along the Arkansas River . The park’s highlights include an adventure playground, seasonal gardens, walking and biking trails, a pond and boathouse, two restaurants, and much more . Downtown Tulsa is a treasure trove for lovers of architecture, with a concentration of Art Deco rivaled only by New York City and Miami . The central public space in downtown, Guthrie Green, is a year-round destination for live music, cultural programming and festivals . Just a few blocks northeast is ONEOK Field, home of the Tulsa Drillers, a Class AA affiliate of the Los Angeles Dodgers . The ballpark sits within the historic Greenwood District, Tulsa’s resurgent Black Wall Street known internationally as a hub of African American entrepreneurship and resilience . Nearby you’ll find the Blue Dome and Arts districts, which offer visitors a variety of restaurants, bars
50
and galleries . Downtown’s premier shopping and specialty stores — a confectionary, rare guitars, an indie bookstore and more — have something for every taste . The BOK Center is downtown Tulsa’s award winning and premier sports and entertainment venue, playing host to worldwide superstars and NCAA DI Basketball Championship tournaments . The venue was named the 2016 and 2018 Arena of Year . “The Tulsa Sound” is as alive and well in 2019 as it was when Eric Clapton and George Harrison jammed with Tulsa’s own Leon Russell and JJ Cale . Tulsa’s historic live music venues, like the Cain’s Ballroom and Brady Theater, are second to none . The multi-purpose BOK Center is a world-class entertainment venue, recently named the Arena of the Year for the second time in the last three years . Take in a special afternoon of art, culture and history at one of the city’s iconic museums, including the world’s greatest collection of Western art at the Gilcrease Museum and the eclectic and thoroughly contemporary Philbrook Museum of Art . You’ll also find the Woody Guthrie Center, which celebrates the acclaimed folk singer’s life and legacy, and soon you’ll be able to visit the permanent home of Bob Dylan’s archives . Other family-friendly attractions include the Tulsa Children’s Museum, the Tulsa Zoo and the Oklahoma Aquarium .
The crossroads of America wouldn’t be complete without America’s Main Street . Historic Route 66 runs the full east-to-west stretch of the city along 11th Street, offering nostalgic looks at the city’s past and a bold vision of the community’s future . From classic diners and burger joints to the new Mother Road Market food hall, Route 66 in Tulsa is one of city’s newest culinary hotspots . Further into the city, notable districts include Cherry Street, a seven-block hub of trendy shops, bistros, cafés and bars; Brookside, a nearly mile-long stretch of upscale shopping and dining; and the Pearl District, which has Tulsa’s highest concentration of craft breweries . The Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, River Spirit Casino Resort and Osage Casino also feature restaurants, nightclubs and a constant stream of live entertainment . Tulsa hosts a never-ending lineup of exciting games, tournaments and recreational events throughout the year . Sports spectators can look to The University of Tulsa, Tulsa Drillers baseball, Tulsa Oilers ice hockey and FC Tulsa soccer . Tulsa Tough is one of the most popular bicycle street races in the country, and the annual Tulsa Run the Route 66 Marathon appeal to runners from around the world . For every local or visitor, Tulsa inspires something different! To learn more about all that Tulsa has to offer, check out VisitTulsa .com .
