Rountree is a 2005 graduate and four-year letterwinner at the University of Tulsa. After graduating, he spent two seasons coaching defensive secondary at Delta State (MS) before returning to Tulsa as a graduate assistant in 2010.

He was named Director of High School Relations last January.

A permanent replacement for Wiggins will be announced after the first of the year.

Tulsa plays BYU in the bowl game, which will be played December 30th in Fort Worth, Texas.
