Re: Coaching Candidates (All Encompassing)

Might not be fair, but they can cancel my season tickets if Haywood is hired. Esp. in light of the reasons i'm told RR did not come here, ie: being forced to keep BT recruits. This would be a disaster for Tulane's momentum going forward. I'm done. They have officially sucked the life from my suppor...

Developing story: Keep an eye on former Miami (OH) head coach Mike Haywood at Tulane. I will keep you posted.
30 minutes ago.

BTW, same guy who said Leach was in the mix.

Re: Coaching Candidates (All Encompassing)

Yesterday CoachingSearch.com said that we were interested in Monken, Jags, and an SEC coordinator with ties to Rick Dickson. I can't buy the jags thing. Then again, they also said today that Leach is "back in the mix". The SEC coordinator is probably Garrick McGee, the OC at #3 Arkansas. H...

Nobody wants this job unless they're a hasbeen like Turdledo or some div-2 Nawthun coach.Maybe the sport for next fall is to watch Dickson and his suckazz rep as AD continue the spiral down the hole.

That's another possibility. Maybe Leach is back in play.

Re: Monken pulls his name out of Tulane hat

Gundy may have wanted him to stay on through the bowl game. They'll have a great shot at being in a high profile BCS game. That makes sense... I'm sure Gundy told him that once some big program hires Sumlin or Fedora at some point in December, UH and USM will be all about paying top dollar for the l...

Re: Coaching Candidates/Mike Leach Merged

I can understand not wanting to hire Fulmer OUG but I wonder what crucial criteria he fails to meet that Haywood and Monkton have. I'm not saying he'd be a great fit I was just wondering why no one has even mentioned him. First of all, I don't think we hire Haywood, and I wouldn't put him and Monke...

I am not really excited about the options being discussed right now with RR gone and Leach not seeming to be a realistic option.

Re: Coaching Candidates/Mike Leach Merged

Monken is probably a result of the search firm they are using. He must match the criteria that was set forth. I would pay Monken an incentive laden contract and hire Mike Stoops for DC at $1 million per. That would show me commitment. Get a Big Time DC in here. Monken doesn't seem like the result o...

Re: Navy game

There'll be a lot to learn after this game. Its actually great scheduling. USNA is a smaller and less athletic team than us.
