Fritz just cannot hack it at this level. Look at CJ. He got us to a bowl in C-USA. Moved to AAC and couldn't compete. We just need someone who can coach above the JV level.

Agreed about Fritz. Tulane just needs to hire the OC from a P5 that generally has a great offense.

CJ isn't half the coach Fritz is. He played a WEAK AS sh*t schedule in 2013, and, due to key injuries of our opponents he should have won 10 games. Take a closer look at that season, we were very poorly coached.

Thank you D. If we are doing cj v wf comparisons and you come away with cj being better, please pass me what you’re smoking. It must be good...

I had hopes before the season because of the hype. But it’s the same old Tulane. UAB started with zero. We started in the negative. The negative for 15 years

Banks and Mooney both referred to UAB as a lower level team this week in an article in the Advocate.

And so did Fritz. We haven't beaten anyone anytime recently, we should NEVER say another program is at a lower level.

Fritz did not say they were a lower level team.

Yes he did. If I find it and quote it, will you admit you're wrong?

this I gotta see!

Only Banks said it here:
https://www.theadvocate.com/new_orleans ... 22c68.html

Ok, if Fritz didn't come out and say it, he certainly implied it, which is where his players bought into it:

My experience has been the better team usually wins, whether it’s at home or on the road,” he said. “We just want our guys to prepare themselves and be ready to go Saturday.”

I thought I read that he came out and said they were a "lower team" but don't have the time to go try to find it. If the above statement is as close as he came to saying it, I will admit to being wrong, but it sure showed up as if the ENTIRE TEAM felt that way through the first half on GAMEDAY. WE SUCK and SHOULD NEVER THINK AN OPPONENT IS A LESSER TEAM. That's my point and it played out EXACTLY as predicted.

I thought it was time for a big name hire that would bring some attention to the program.

But,,, but.... according to some of our posters it's the Oline's fault and Banks is a great QB. Banks can't make the correct read on the option, he doesn't have a pocket presence, he can't pick up the the hot blitzers coming right into his face, he can't throw the ball in under 5 seconds after the snap, he can't can't hit open underneath receivers. I honestly believe we would be better with Glen Cuiellete at QB. I fault Willie for leaving us with Banks and no other options at QB until the late Mcmillan transfer. He should write off Banks and see what we've got with McM. We'll be 1 & 5 anyway. I really can't watch the Banks Hero Ball show anymore this year.

Um, no way gc is better than Banks. Banks has heroic performances and he has ones where he craps the bed. The o-line certainly has a lot to do with bank’s performance, and the lack of performance. Things like starting redshirt seniors that are supposed to be blocking and not even touching any defenders or Banks getting hit from his blindside mutiple times in a quarter are problems. But there are other things like Banks throwing into triple coverage or onehanding the football while being chased is also another problem. I think it’s a mixture of both.

Not a huge defender of the Oline especially Briggs, but a lot of the hits on Banks are self-imposed. i.e. learn to step up in the pocket under pressure (even the idiotic Facebook announcers got that right), and on an RPO read, throw the damn ball to one of the slants or backs, don't hold it for 5 seconds, the linemen are run blocking on that play for God sakes. To Win's earlier comments, I don't think Willie walks on water - I really blame him for betting this season on Banks. Even going back last year, Banks really wasn't disciplined (ECU, Houston, and the last play against SMU when he rolled the wrong way). He had flashes of brilliance but not a consistent winner. Yep, that is on Willie.

BS. The only time you posted last season was when you would go ballistic because someone had dared question the coaching.

Tulane would need to win 5 of those for bowl eligibility. 5.

Does anyone know why he didn't stay with the option offense? I thought that was the plan from the beginning as he'd been successful with it at Ga Southern.. I'd think a well-run option offense would be far better than, well, whatever he's running today.

what do you mean getting away from the option? they have 5 plays in the play book and WF has the option to use any of them whenever he wants. I think he's running his version of the pistol where each play you you shoot yourself in the foot.

The option is tough to sell to recruits at almost every position and also tough to sell to fans. Hence why no one but the academies run it and the outliers like GT are constantly battling for recruits/fans and their coach is always on the hot seat.

Straight option football at TU is a real real bad idea.
