Pierce elevated the program immediately during his two year reign. So far Jewett has only lowered and marginalized what Pierce had accomplished. Giving him a 3rd year will only hurt the recovery process. I agree. He was hired because he had a “quality resume” but I always wondered why it took around 20 years to get a D1 head coaching job. Look at guys like Mohl, Riser, Cannizaro and UNO’s Dean just to name a few off the top of my head. They got head coaching jobs rather quickly.DaveBrownStreak wrote:Halfway point of the season and 12 wins?

I think Dannen was hired to fix football. The university had this thing built on campus and were stupid enough to think tailgating and oak trees would bring us all back no matter the product.

Remember Dannen got rid of baseball at his last stop so he probably doesn’t consider it a big deal that the program is failing. My guess is that Jewett will be back for another season. He’ll just rearrange his staff. But from where I sit that’s only delaying the real fix. Then you have to wonder who Dannen would hire next? So far none of the three men’s sports hires have produced a winning season at the least.
Dead on accurate post, galvez. I think one of the things that works against TD making a change with the baseball HC is that he probably over paid him, and the buyout would be too much for a sport that's not considered a revenue sport. Despite the bad publicity, the right move would be to bring Andy Canizzaro in at the end of the season and let Jewett go. I don't see Tulane making such a bold move, though.galvezwave wrote: I think Dannen was hired to fix football.

I think show me is correct. Dannen probably doesn’t give a flying flip about baseball. And that’s not entirely wrong. I truly believe he doesn’t understand how important winning baseball is to the Tulane fan base. I enjoy it. But I’d rather the big 2 be successful. And all that space turchin occupies is basically priceless .DfromCT wrote:Dead on accurate post, galvez.

I spoke to TD about moving Turchin to the property on Jeff Hwy, to free up land for Football facilities, he told me Turchin will not be moving anywhere...on a side note, why not build the indoor complex on that land, it is about as far from campus as the indoor bubble the University of Texas @ Austin uses...hell the baseball stadium for UT is not "on campus" but on land across I-35 that was purchased in a (gasp) RESIDENTIAL area, I guess there were no NIMBY's to deal withgalvezwave wrote:I think show me is correct.

I would have liked to have seen Turchin flipped around with the backstop on the parking lot butting up to Claiborne.I spoke to TD about moving Turchin to the property on Jeff Hwy, to free up land for Football facilities, he told me Turchin will not be moving anywhere...on a side note, why not build the indoor complex on that land, it is about as far from campus as the indoor bubble the University of Texas @ Austin uses...hell the baseball stadium for UT is not "on campus" but on land across I-35 that was purchased in a (gasp) RESIDENTIAL area, I guess there were no NIMBY's to deal with.
Great idea! Let's just call off the rest of the season. Nobody coould possibly become a better player or gain any good experience. Every school should just do that in every sport once the get 2 or 3 games below .500. Think of the injuries that would be avoided and the money not wasted on gameday costs.Show Me wrote:I had to laugh because the other board is tracking RPI for some bizarre reason.
The season is all over for practical purposes. The only reason to play it is to see if we qualify for the AAC tournament and where we are seeded if we qualify. We will have to win the tournament to get a bid. Going to be another losing season I’m afraid. It’s looking like another 1-3 week.
