Brandon Slade Nagle (born March 23, 1980) is an American football coach who last served as the interim head coach for the Tulane Green Wave.[1]
Playing career
A quarterback, Nagle played one game for the Clemson Tigers as a freshman, rushing for one yard on one carry.[2] He then transferred to McNeese State University, where he played for the Cowboys from 1999 to 2001.[1] Nagle led his team to a Southland Conference title as a senior.[1]
Coaching career
After graduating from McNeese, Nagle served as graduate assistant coach at Northwestern State.[3][4] He then served in various roles as the quarterback coach at Dodge City Community College, as the quarterback and wide receiver coach at Northwestern State, as an analyst working with the special teams at LSU, as the co-offensive coordinator and quarterback coach at Texas State, and as the running backs/assistant head coach at Central Arkansas.[4] After coaching at Central Arkansas, Nagle returned to his alma mater, McNeese State, to serve as the running backs and special teams coach.[3][4] In 2016, Nagle was hired as a tight ends coach at Tulane before receiving the assistant head coach title in 2022.[4] Prior to the start of the 2022 season, Nagle was given control of the Green Wave's offense, which he helped lead to a 12-2 record, conference championship, and Cotton Bowl victory over the #8 ranked University of Southern California.[5][6] After the conclusion of the 2022 season and seven years as the Green Wave's tight end coach, Nagle was officially promoted to offensive coordinator and transitioned to coach quarterbacks, helping the team to another 10-win season, finishing 11-3.[7][8][9] On December 3, 2023, after head coach Willie Fritz left to take the head coaching job at the University of Houston, Nagle was named as the team's interim head coach for their appearance in the 2023 Military Bowl.[10][11]
