Actually, had we done more on DEI would’ve been higher in the rankings. Did you actually look at how the methodology of the rankings changed? The reason for DEI at places like Harvard, is to compensate for all of the legacy admissions they give out. There aren’t a lot of minorities getting legacy ad...

She would be great.

With all due respect, she's coaching in the NAIA division and we really need a complete break from Stockton era.

Women’s tennis, bowling, volleyball, in addition to 2 basketballs. Golf, baseball and beach volleyball are on the hot seat.

They have money..
We have at least five sports that need new head coaches.

Retaining a coach because you’re afraid of players leaving and losing commitments is a strategy that has worked 0% of the time

+1

+2 Who are these young players that we are afraid might leave? And if we are to be fearful of their departure, why didn't we see them on the court this season?

Yes, now that she has finally done the right thing and retired, which I have been pleading that she do. Yes she should get a landing spot, If she wants one, as should Rice.

We have no shortage of lawyers on this board who know employment law better than me, particularly in Louisiana. But if the contract was to coach basketball and the employer says "to get paid you have to give up basketball and become a fundraiser" I'd expect that's a breach of contract on ...

I wish Lisa no ill will. I just want her to either recommit to the recruiting trail , hitting it harder than ever. If she's unwilling or thinks she cannot bring the talent to win, she should retire. She's had a hell of a career, maybe it's time to walk away. Way too late for that; She's had her cha...

Bryce Drew. Grand Canyon. 64-27. 2 NCAA tournaments. I'd like Bryce Drew personally of these. Drew scored a Dunleavy at Vanderbilt. Yikes! As for Hunter, you have a coach who a)hasn't sniffed postseason in 5 years; b)refuses to be open to change in either staff or philosophy. Now put on top of that...

Women's hoops is now 3-11, dead last.
Stockton should inform Harris right now of her intent to retire at the end of the season and have her resignation letter on Harris' desk the day after the season ends. She owes it to Tulane.
But she won't.

The first one that needs to be out the door is Stockton. She's a walking billboard of old Tulane. She's also politically the hardest to push out (among the close to a half dozen head coaches that need to go). Getting her out would send a message that AD Harris needs sent.

None of the G5s are clearly superior, as the AAC was until 2023. So it doesn't matter. What matters is us at least splitting the OU and KSU games and winning the rest. To that end, a weaker AAC might be helpful.
A bad look is for the AAC to compare itself to the sunbelt.

"Lady Wave" is condescending. We aren't the "Man Wave" either. Our teams are the "Green Wave." And yes, after spending a decade in mediocrity, instead of abiding the obvious signs, we extended and coronated, and, as expected, the bottom fell out. She got her 30 years, s...

Does Harris have it in him to replace 2 basketball coaches?

Stockton should have the proper grace and resign; she owes it to Tulane.

i would not call washington a step up from arizona

Washington is a big step up from Arizona.

Coach Sumrall is taking who he wants out of Troy, as he should.

They shouldn't stick around. But unfortunately that's what's going to happen. Would be very happy If Harris surprised us and let him go. I think our best shot is for some team to take him off our hands, under the "he won 20 at Tulane. Tulane!" line of thinking. Like TCU taking Trent Johns...

But you have no idea how big it was. Again all the projections from services are just that: guesses. Doesn’t take much to know that 38 schools wanted him and it came down to those three. He definitely got a huge bag to go to the Vols. He said he “heard from” 38 schools. These P schools may be awash...

Yeah, and we should’ve hired Nagel as HC because no one knew how Willie did things better than he did

Dominic Steward 3* OL. That’s a Rival 3*, not this 247 riffraff.

I wonder if Slade ends up in Iowa. He seems to fit what Ferentz wants to do. Ferentz, when trolling USC, used Tulane as an example, so maybe he’s on his mind.

Yeah, dillydallying around with facilities probably pissed him off. But that’s as much on Dannen who had itchy feet as well. And he did try to go to Georgia Tech last year. The low buyout is probably because Dannen didn’t ask him for one. And had we beaten SMU, why in the eff would we want Houston’s...

Don't insult the guy on his first day. Unlike Willie he has class and is actually doing things the right way. He also talked about having an explosive offense. Very unlike conservative Wiilie boy. I'll say this, Win. You always kept Willie at arms-length, never accepting his "greatness." ...

Great day for Tulane football. We could very well be in a better position today with David Harris and Jon Sumrall than a few months ago with Dannen and Fritz. Can't wait to see who will be on Sumrall's staff. Interesting proposition. While I would take the certainty of Fritz over the Sumrall upside...
