It’s not rumored. It’s been announced. They’ve shown videos with (admittedly rudimentary) renderings

And even showed some personality by that joke about Sumrall being fortunate to get questions ONLY from media, That's one problem that I really thought Troy Dannan had; lack of personality. He always seemed awkward talking to people. Dannen was a salesman with a salesman’s personality. Nothing genui...

I know we are getting side tracked in a few directions here but Sumrall was awesome. I had Sean McVay vibes. Just the sense that he absolutely was born to do this job. I am not remotely concerned about whether or not Sumrall will win here. He will not accept failure and is going to surround himself ...

You’re in luck — neither do the Houston coaches we are paying to coach it.

The way Sumrall is handling the assistant coaches/portal/transition issue is night and day from Fritz. Yes, we will likely take players that played at Troy. No, they should not be recruiting for Tulane while at Troy. There’s a right way and a wrong way to do this. Sumrall gets it. It’s not complicat...

I cannot believe the folks that want to trash Fritz’s legacy and actually think something is happening to Tulane that doesn’t happen 100% of the time there’s a coaching change. SUCK IT UP FOLKS. We’re not victims any more than any other school. Kids want to play games against teams that matter and ...

I think 32,000-35,000 would be perfect for us. If we can get there, we'll be fine. Enough for capacity but still not always easy to get. If ACC or Big12 will put up with 35k, that's perfect. But the low end P5 schools, mainly private schools (Vandy, Duke, Cincy, Houston, BC, TCU, etc) are 40-45k. I...

No, he decided he didn’t want a legacy here. Hope he doesn’t take too long to get UH to 8-9 wins or he is getting an early retirement. They won’t show him the patience and loyalty Tulane did in year 6, that’s for sure.

What I want to know is, at what point does it become a breach of their existing contract with Tulane? And is that actionable beyond simply termination?

I’m not a lawyer, just curious.

https://x.com/coachjonsumrall/status/1733917148433494418?s=46&t=g_S-iX5DF8guuUB142gINw That’s absolute class. It probably took an hour for him and his staff to put together. But it matters. And I’m shocked that Willie didn’t do anything remotely similar to this. Willie never thanked the fans at...

IF FSU leaves Tulane has to be willing to play football in the Dome for conference games and to play basketball in the SKC for conference games till it can get the on campus facilities to whatever levels the ACC requires. The only way we won't have to do that is if a slew of other teams leave and t...

It hasn't just been this forum. One has to admit, it has been ONE HELL of a few weeks for Tulane and its fans. Well, sure, but people have a way of jumping to particularly negative conclusions here. David Harris was a clown here when he was hired right? “PC Hire?” Now he just helped us reel in a ba...

Need to counter offer and win back DC Wood , DLine Coach Gerald Chatman and Wide Receivers Coach Derrick Sherman . Critical . There’s a ton of great assistants out there, including guys on Sumrall’s staff that just went 10-2 and won a title. We will be ok with whatever he decides to bring on. Don’t...

I think you can hang it and bang it as Graff might say. Give the PTSD a night off and open a cold one

All of our thanks should go to David Harris (and Doug Hertz for bringing him here) and Patrick Norton, TU COO. Those 2 worked non-stop these past 7-10 days., both in trying to keep Willie and then pivoting to the new coach search/hire. Scott, how new a thing is it to have someone like Patrick Norto...

Can everyone stop freaking out that Tulane doesn’t care about getting to the ACC now? This is a big boy hire.

Here's my concern about the Tulane board: the still don't understand that athletics and academics are two completely different animals. In academics, you can put together a committee, hire a think tank to investigate and recommend and then make a final decision. The sports world doesn't move that s...

Tulane is bundled with a bunch of other schools in this investigation. In our case, Tulane did nothing wrong. Demonstration wasn’t on campus property, wasn’t sanctioned. Offenders were not affiliated with the school. Arrests were made and actions were taken.

Georgia Tech lost Willie Fritz because they weren't willing to be patient. Troy plays in 8 days, 12/16. Maybe he wants to coach his players one last time and respectfully complete the season. Maybe we lose him because of these leaks like GT lost Willie last year. Maybe. But Troy isn’t playing for a...

This is about when Tulane almost always "screws the pooch" 🐕 for a coaching hire; i.e. - in 1980 Hindman Wall says "no" to OC Lindy Infante after 9-3 season and defeating LSU on national television with Infante's offense, and in 1998 Cowen after the undefeated season says "...
