Re: Open Letter to Troy Dannen

I was wondering, are there any other college programs in the country that have a history of success like we had in the 40's, and even in the 70's that have fallen to where we are now? I guess what I'm asking is, we're pretty much a unique situation, aren't we? Off the top of my head I think you're ...

Re: Congratulations Tulane University

Robert not sure what is your issue. I have not stated 1 negative thing. All I've ever said is that Tulane has 2 great candidates. I've only said positive things about Tulane's future. Sure I did it as a pretend AD but If I'm the only one to make up crap on this site than shot me. In fact lets post ...

Re: Mark Richt

The thought process would be that Tulane is not a stressful environment where there is constant pressure to win 11 games every year. He can make a pinch over a million a year, and he's close to a lot of social assistance entities in/around New Orleans. He won't come, but it's not laughable. Just re...

Re: Congratulations Tulane University

The longer this goes on, the committee is probably trying to hire an outsider. Otherwise Burke would be a done deal already and we would move on the search for a football coach. If Burke is hired then either she was the lock from day one and the "national search" was just a kabuki show, o...

Re: Arnie Fielkow's blueprint for success for Tulane Athletics

If I remember correctly, during the Katrina event it was made known that the facilities on Airline were built by the state and leased to Benson for $1 a year. And the facilities can be used as leverage against Tulane (or any similar institution)? Your point? Tulane is a private university. So why s...

Cowen didn't want to lose. He just wasn't willing to do what it takes to win.

You're right. In fact, other than the Hawaii bowl in '02 which I enjoyed, a person could have taken a hiatus from TU "football" starting 9/6/99 to the present day and pretty much be able to say the same thing.

Re: Weekly humiliation

Tulane is a joke of an organization--cant win, can't raise money, can't balance a budge, but the BOA and Cowen still think they are "the smartest guys in the room". Pretty much sums it up. The last part is the most irritating. They 're coated with the stench of their own bumbling failure ...

Re: Potential AD candidates search

Also, from what I'm hearing about the lack of efficient administration at Tulane, the absolute best remedy is to insert a knowledgeable AD who isn't afraid to clean house and demand the highest standards daily. Your school has the chance to do just that. Unknowingly I'm afraid some of the posters h...

Re: Potential AD candidates search

I'm OK with being patient for 4-5 years provided this new hire is not an inside hire. If you're going to reject AF because you have Wickstrom, the two P5 assistants, or something experimental in mind then I'm OK with rejecting AF on personal grounds. Benson is a flawed human being, but he does have...

I generally tend to agree with the paranoia/hysteria/attitude that we don't want an internal hire because Rick Dickson is so bad that he would only hire yes men(or woman). I don't think Dickson hired her so your premise is flawed. And the general perception of this typical Tulane cluster fark is fa...
