Might as well keep CJ another two years and save $2 million.

My thoughts exactly. Another CJ except probably better recruiter. But I could be a great recruiter at LSU. Tulane is another story. Ryan...Wilson...the cclown show continues. Only at Tulane are ridiculous names released.golfnut69 wrote:Gawd...if we are going this route I would prefer Winton Marsalis..at least we would be entertainedpuffy wrote:So recruiting guru with deep Louisiana ties and no experience above positions coach?tpstulane wrote:Oh no!

It's just the natural course of things. When we reach year 4 and the coach is clearly a failure the fans start threatening to bail. Fortunately we have the recent Toledo debacle when they ignored us and then had to fire him mid season. Looks like they learned their lesson. Just like there are people paying more there are people paying and donating less.sader24 wrote:The fans are acting en masse bc their season ticket prices went up by 4x to 8x depending on where they sit. I was paying $300 for 4 seats, now I'm paying $1050. People with better seats than I have seen even more dramatic increases. When you raise prices that drastically you had better provide the value or long time season ticket holders who renewed out of habit will bail. This is what is happening, the last 2000 or so that have renewed for 40 years no matter what have started to walk. Not to mention the people putting up $1500+ just for the right to buy tickets. Their financial plan for the stadium depends on winning football.
As TPS said, Tulane could have hired White 3 months ago and already have a coach lined up to announce Monday morning.LSU Law Greenie wrote:And this is why you have to move quick in this business.

UCF: Brandon Helwig who does an excellent job covering UCF for UCFSports.com reports tonight that the four coaches Danny White intends to interview for the position are the same four we wrote about Tuesday: Dino Babers, Geoff Collins, Randy Shannon & Gene Chizik.

Burke has all but secured an impact football coach and volleyball coach who will come if she is named AD. Sounds like you have 2 excellent candidates for the AD job.

To me, being a successful coordinator is a greater indicator of future head coaching success than being a great recruiter. If I had the choice between the two, give me the successful coordinator 10 out of 10 times. You can usually find a solid recruiting coordinator; winning and winning constantly is always the best recruiter anyway. If LSU was a losing program, Frank Wilson would be having a much harder time getting the Dupres and Fournettes of the world.mbawavefan12 wrote:Would i want wilson, probably not but be careful to just label him another CJ. There r recruitment oriented coaches who win (Miles or FSU Bowden), the issue is all about hiring the right assistants and making macro changes based on your evaluations of overall scheme, personel and coaches. Meaning, you don't need to be some great x and o guy but if you are not then you need to be a great evaluator of people and overall scheme.

He called a good game last night when he had a QB with flexibility (a pale ghost of Shawn King appeared in the backfield with the draw and one bootleg play) that he could work with. He has proven himself in the last game to be head coach material. As for offensive coordinator, we should make Lane Kiffin an offer he cannot refuse. I know that Eric will rise to the challenge.....
Thanks. This is my biggest frustration with Tulane. Always reactive never proactive. This isn't rocket science yet somehow we need to form a committee that may take weeks to assemble then weeks to interview ( and in some cases not interview) when others we compete directly against just go out and hire the best. And this is from a school that is supposed to be run by bright people at least brighter than UCF.ExileWave wrote:As TPS said, Tulane could have hired White 3 months ago and already have a coach lined up to announce Monday morning.LSU Law Greenie wrote:And this is why you have to move quick in this business.

When Fitts was hired a year ago he should have come in and told Dickson retire then and bring in his own guy. CJ should have run off Price last year as well. Had that taken place it would be interesting to see how this season would have went.tpstulane wrote:Thanks. This is my biggest frustration with Tulane. Always reactive never proactive.

Like I said before I could run this thing better from my sofa on my cell phone than what seems to take place for every coaching search here.
It's insanity watching this stuff happen over and over.
But that is the not-so-secret secret. Tulane is not led by particularly bright people. Oh they definitely think they are, but no organization with a history of failure, like these clowns, can credibly consider themselves even average in the intellect department.tpstulane wrote:Thanks.

+1. No re-treads. No position coaches. No recently fired NFL coaches. A coach with his star on the rise (Campbell or Babers) or a successful, young OC (Riley or Applewhite).GreenGears wrote:We need someone with experience as a coordinator at a real program, preferably an up and comer who has experience in a winning organization, is a competent coach and is looking for the opportunity to take the next step as a head coach. We don't need a failed head coach from elsewhere.
