Re: More coaching names...

everyone is stuck on Leach and RR. Would be great to sign either of them but we have to widen the net...What about Terry Bowden? Has won everywhere including Auburn, well educated (BS magma cum laude in accounting, JD) which the faculty will like, excellent football lineage obviously...probably a l...

Re: Support for Tulane Athletics

Scelfo's last two and Toledo's first 3 classes were loaded with 1AA players; it's gotten a little better the last 2 years, but not hear enough
We haven't gotten it done in recruiting - not close.

Re: Coaching Candidates

Most of the players in Toledo's first 2 classes were 1AA talents. Several we beat McNeese for.

Re: Is Ryan Griffin the worst Tulane QB of all time?

He's not close to the worse. This team has mailed it in.
Probably 20 or so of these players need to leave before next season.

Re: Coaching Candidates

We hire any one of those guys then we're perceived as business as usual by everyone, including the Big12. Do it on the cheap losers who are too stupid or too timid to take the plunge and capitalize on all our natural assets for the good of the university and the city. No vision. No heart. It's ther...

Re: Coaching Candidates

Beckman's fine for a second tier candidate; he took over a declining program (although a program that is usually pretty solid), so his mediocre record isn't that alarming. The thing is, we need a splash. The splash will sell more tickets before the first kickoff than the non-splash will sell after 3...

Is this some kind of joke? None of those 3 have significant success as a head coach. I don't know where Tammy is getting her information, but those 3 gentlemen would not be in my top 50 candidates. This has got to be misinformation. Well the "checking out" should begin and end with lookin...

Re: Coaching Candidates

Houston Nutt would be Toledo part 2. I certainly hope he isn't the "big name". that would be a joke hire. Richt certainly is no smaller a name than RR or Leach. But I wouldn't want him...we need to be a real smart team and fool the opposition to an extent. Petrino is an excellent coach. To...

Re: UAB in Trouble

Boise has to go. It's their absolutely only chance to ever get AQ status*. It's a risk, but one they must take. *Because they are a regional university, they have no shot to get into the Pac 12 or Big 12 ever. I never thought the Alliance would bring AQ status. We need it now more than ever because ...

Re: Coaching Candidates

I'm just more worried about them hiring a mediocre candidate than not hiring a ML or RR. Meaning, I'm afraid that if they don't hire one of those 2, we'll get mediocrity....because I haven't heard a single name that isn't mediocre except for RR and ML (and I respect that it could all be hush hush). ...

Re: Coaching Candidates

And others have been interviewed (or will be interviewed) that are more experienced and successful then the two biggies everyone mentions. That means really a NC coach or close to it (like on the Rict/Tubberville level). Okay, so who could they be? Let the speculation begin. I'll start: Mack Brown....

Where is the USM board?

UAB continues to get screwed over by the Alabama Board of Trustees. They jammed Callaway down their throat, when they wanted to hire Jimbo fisher.
