Yes, and Frank Wilson worked in City Park as director with NORD.RobertM320 wrote:Wasn't Fletcher's dad the golf pro at City Park like forever?tpstulane wrote:The connection is NORD, Mackel and Wison are connected through City Park with that.Wavetime wrote:Full disclosure, I am not a fan of Fletcher Mackel.

FM is using every ounce of his power to get Wilson hired, there has to be a connection. Kinda pisses me off to tell you the truth.

i think this is who we should go after, in this order (based on that list)
1. RR (easy choice)
2. Leach (another easy choice)
3. Hudspeth (but is TU really a "step up" from ULL now?)
4. Tommy Bowden (let him at it again)
5. ED O (the dude just always looks mad, i like that)
This is where the drop off happens
6. Trooper
7. Curtis Johnson
8. Frank Wilson
9. Terry Bowden
10. Burton Burns (isnt he on the simpsons?)
11. Karl dunbar
12. Calvin magee
13. L. Washington
1. RR (easy choice)
2. Leach (another easy choice)
3. Hudspeth (but is TU really a "step up" from ULL now?)

Ray, I've wondered about that myself. If some of our big athletics supporters were to let them know the fanbase is interested in getting them here, could that possibly hurt? Lord knows, we really don't want to leave it in Dickson's hands alone, do we?Ray wrote:IMPACT!! Could these guys be approached without them talking to Dickson??(Kidding .....sort of).

It is EASY to recruit at LSU. Wilson would be another 5 year disaster- if the program can survive that long with more losing. There is a reason that everyone ranks our recruiting at the bottom of CUSA annually. Do we have better players? Maybe- it is not showing on the field. We are still slow looking and weaker than opponents. A MAJOR hire is needed. Not a resruiter. That will take care of itself.

What ever happened to derrick nix? I liked him at jam and he was dc at Florida last I remember. He knows new orleans, has years as a coordinator, and bone crushing defense never hurt anybody. Put him with a good offensive mind and it could be a good fit.

That is all well and fine but we need COACHING. Supposedly we have made inroads into local recruiting and are into the local high schools big time AND we already have a great recruiter on staff. Why on earth, after what we just went through, would we go with this guy whose ONLY a running back coach and who was only head coach in high school!!!. ANOTHER MISTAKE JUST WAITING TO HAPPEN!!!!
Oh, also in a separate story about student reaction by John Reid, he contacted jts for his thoughts. I stopped reading at that point..........
Dave Dickerson was known as a strong recruiter at Maryland too (and couldn't bring anyone to us at Tulane). Recruiting at a major national power is easy. It's more about sorting out who you don't want, than trying to convince kids to come.

Minnesota guy here with a daughter attending Tulane so I follow the Tulane football program. Don't make the same mistake that Minnesota did when they hired Brewster four years ago. Brewster wasn't ever a head coach or even a coordinator before he was hired; Brewster was a great recruiter. So, what we got was a great recruiter that didn't have the experience necessary to lead a team, and the result was disaster. The lesson learned is to hire someone that has at least some experience as offense or defensive coordinator, not just a position coach. RR and ML would be great if you can get em. I don't think you'd get RR, but ML would probably listen.

Good perspective, thanks. Unlike, Minnesota, we're in a world of hurt and if we screw up this hire it may be the death knell so we can't be taking any chances.livingat45north wrote:Minnesota guy here with a daughter attending Tulane so I follow the Tulane football program.

That was exactly my take. You've got all these local sports guys who never pay any attention to Tulane football suddenly chiming in because it's the hot story of the week presuming to be experts instructing Tulane what it has to do going forward.sader24 wrote:I could recruit at LSU. I'm so sick of the John DeShazier's of the world who write about Tulane once every 5 years tell us what WE need. What an idiot.
I appreciated DeShazier's article last week pointing out that the Tulane administration needs to commit to winning football. That's the first time DeShazier has been even close to right in my memory. Then after Toledo resigns he writes another piece shilling for somebody as HC who would scream to the world that we are STILL not committed to winning at football. He doesn't know whether he's coming or going.
The second commandment has not been abrogated.

Any opinions on Ty Nix? Has he ever interviewed for this job on the last few openings? What would be you guys feelings about a defensive minded coach? He's still young but I wonder why he hasn't gotten a shot somewhere.

Deshazier says we need a serious commitment from the admin but then he pushes Wilson? Making that hire would be the exact opposite of commitment1ndabag wrote:That was exactly my take.

I think RR would listen if he heard from Cowen. Dickson certainly does not inspire anyone.

Regarding DeShazier, I think its VITALLY important that we all make the effort to post comments to his articles on nola.com. That would serve two purposes: It would call him out for his small minded and racially biased thinking, AND it would let him know that we are out here, we care, and we're not gonna take it any more. If we don't speak up, that's the same as agreeing with him. We have over 100 members here on goTULA, we should see 100 posts on every article regarding Tulane athletics. Lets do our part.
