Re: Rice Game Thread

I think Hunter is playing a scheme that worked at a lower level and can sneak up on a bigger program if thay aren't careful, but it's not going to work every night against quality opponents Correct Hunter ball is designed to MULCH teams like Rice that can't break a zone. We're probably going to win...

Re: Signing Day Central

Year one is going to be tough no matter what.

The test will be making the jump in year two to win 10+ games once you have your system in place.

Re: NSD 2024 Class

Currently at 68th on On3. That is good enough to stay at the top third of the AAC.

Re: Tulane Beats Furman 117-110, 2 OT's

Tulane basketball is in an odd spot. Hunter got us to 20-11 last year. Not ideal, but wildly better than what we had before. IF Tulane wants to hold a higher standard for basketball performance, then you're going to have to level up the arena situation and provide more support for the hoops program....

Re: Football Head Coach Jon Sumrall

I am so glad that they actually interviewed a few sitting HCs and found one they and the fanbase liked.

I was fully expecting us to make a fucking mess of this hire. Relief!

I truly don't expect an announcement today. We're Tulane, remember? Promises made, promises broken. I actually believe there is an internal war raging right now for the soul of the Tulane athletics department, and that this is a HUGE battle in it. I would rather them make the RIGHT here and lose 2-...

Re: New HC profile

If the school gives Atkins a good assistants pool and support when needed, then we will be fine.

It’s more than just the hire, we gotta support him financially where we can.

Re: New HC profile

Like past searches and the most recent AD search be prepared to be underwhelmed. We’ll hire someone that interviews well and checks all the Tulane boxes. We will see about the AD soon. This hire and how it is supported will tell us a LOT about whether we want to win 4 games, 8 games, or 12 games.

Re: New HC profile

Atkins will get us to about 7-8 wins per year. I don’t know if he can do more, but we sure as shit could do a whole lot worse.

I like the idea of Candle, he knows how to win at this particular level of play.

Re: Willie Fritz Coaching Watch

If Tulane lets Willie get away to Houston I have zero confidence in them hiring his replacement. If there were betting odds, Fritz would 100% be the favorite for the Houston job given the pending AAC championship game and the lack of an announcement surrounding Traylor. Hopefully, the new AD has so...

Really? Pay doesn't matter to him? Assistants' raises don't matter to him?

That's why he left Ga Southern for Tulane years ago - they didn't want to financially commit to him.

Same here. His emphatic yes when asked about wanting others, Specifically Houston, to wait till after Saturday was telling. Plus all of his other non denial denials in the last 2 weeks clearly show he's looking to move on. If Willie opts for UH, I think there are two drivers to that decision. One, ...

Re: UAB GameDay Thread

Tulane looks a little flat at home. Attendance is BAD for the first time all year vs. FBS. I guess UAB doesn't do anything for our local fans. Just a precursor of our CUSAAC schedule. If this is REALLY the case, we need to leave and try independence (regardless of drawbacks). This is going to destr...

The problem isn't what's happening now. The problem is that groundwork is being set in place now and not 10-15 years ago. Keep in mind, nobody even whispered our name a while back. I personally think we're one of the "last teams called up" just like we were with the AAC. Enjoy the anxiety,...

Re: SMU to the PAC-12 discussions

Our fanbase is fickle and won't show up to watch whatever is left. Tulane needs to move conferences. This conference is effectively dead and does us nothing now that SMU is out. The MW is a bit of travel but at least Nevada, CSU, Wyoming, and AF are intriguing. It's sad - I think we turned the corne...
