Mark Richt - Georgia let him go - if we are really serious - do what it takes to get him.

Mark Richt - Georgia let him go - if we are really serious - do what it takes to get him.

Word is he's either going back to his alma mater (Miami) or he's retiring.

Rumor is Babers to UCF.

But, some others thinks that is premature.

@jwagnerblade: #BGSU football: Just spoke w/ @CoachDinoBabers via text. He said rumors that he is taking UCF job are inaccurate.

Let's not be naive here. Babers is going to publicly deny a move until after the MAC championship game.

Sure he is. But, Tulane can still move too because no contracts have been signed.

BTW: Tulane has started looking for a head coach. So don't you think if they were talking to Baber that they would not have anything to say either?

Sure, but it would be a lot more confidence inspiring if Tulane had an AD in place by now. It would be a lot more confidence inspiring if Tulane didn't always keep the public in the dark. It would be a lot more confidence inspiring if Tulane didn't always fuck up every coaching decision since Tommy Bowden left.

Here in Georgia folks are very uninspired by Richt. I am not sure why we should be inspired by him.

Babers to UCF
http://www.sbnation.com/college-footbal ... head-coach

[greenphantom]

Never mind. As I expected, Patulski is out.

There is no way you would know that if you were a sitting #2 from some school.

If it's Burke, she'll need to bring BAbers along for basic credibility.

Actually, if he/she were the #2 at some school, he/she would be perfectly positioned to know.

What will you say when, as the odds suggest, we end up with Burke and she can't bring Babers?

Alumniwave is not a senior person in an athletics department. He/she has already stated that he/she is an Assistant AD not an Associate AD. Assistant AD is one step above Director...it's low middle-management. He/she is not as well connected as he/she is making themselves out to be. Even if god forbid what he/she says is factual, he/she is a dimwit for posting on a message board in an industry in which he/she works. Doing so exemplifies terrible leadership and would be considered a fireable offense in most athletics departments. It's very unprofessional.

+1. No #2 at a Big 12 school is wasting his time posting on a Tulane message board. This is probably an insider connected to Burke or at least someone who really wants her to be the AD.

I think the AD will be announced Monday. That gives us about a week more if Babers has to wait for the MAC championship to be over. Babers can make some big bucks by playing the field. Unless of course an offer comes from a P5 like Georgia then its done. UCF is in our conference so we have a chance with that. Also, if BB is indeed the AD Tomorrow, I think she can convince Babers to give us legit shot.

[sader24]

It seems more and more people are allowing themselves to be talked into the Barbara Burke AD hire. Tulane fans amaze me. We yell and scream about something and then when Tulane does it anyway we start trying to convince ourselves it's an OK move even though it's another in a long line of insular hires within an organization that desperately needs someone who is completely from the outside.

[Green Wave]

This is not going to be easy.

Now 13 FBS openings: Maryland, Memphis, Miami, Mizzou, North Texas, South Carolina, Syracuse, Toledo, Tulane, UCF, ULM, USC, Virginia

That list came from Kushner's twitter.

And Georgia.

[austxwave]

Although 13 FBC jobs are available, if we make an intelligent hire at AD, I am confident of an intelligent hire for HC. There are many, many qualified coordinators and/or current HC's to select from. The sky is not falling!

1) How shocking that JTS is here to drop hints that we just don't understand that the Wilson Center is full of Jedi's who have all this figured out and have this under control

2) How can Tulane be looking for a coach if it doesn't have an AD? Unless the incoming AD is just another in a long line of Cowen puppets.

It's obviously someone with a personal connection to Burke.

Even if he/she is actually a garbage man and doesn't work in college athletics at all, he/she would still have access to what Burke knows about the process.

So anyone want to wager that BB is announced tomorrow?

I mean that would make sense with alumniwave noting that Patulski is now "out". There are no candidates left.

But the idea that Babers is going to choose Tulane over programs that have facilities and an administration that supports the program is bonkers. Tulane would have to offer significantly more money, and I doubt they would.

How can a question be BS? How can Tulane be looking for a coach if it doesn't have an AD to run the process?

Oh, that's right, because those losers you are covering for are a dysfunctional mess.

Because they have a Pres and a Board who can run the process.

No. Absolutely not. The President and the Board are not qualified to run a head football coaching search and have no business doing that. It's entirely inappropriate, not to mention that it completely undermines whoever they intend to hire as AD. It was their job to get the AD in place in enough time to run the process but they failed, as usual.

Frankly, it's an absurd suggestion. You are wrong again.

[Eaglewave]

Look for Rob Ryan to be named Tulane's next head coach.

[sader24]

Mark Emmert the President of LSU at the time hired Saban. It has happened before. However, Fitts admittedly knows not nearly enough about college football to be in charge of hiring the Football Coach. What he can do is assure good candidates that the Board and AD bring in that he will remove any and all obstacles for the Coach to be successful.

[sader24]

I don't think Fitts wants to have to be intimately involved in Athletics. I think he wants to improve the University. Hopefully he realizes the best way for him to not have to worry about Athletics is to get the right AD and Coaches in place and give them the support they need to win.

That's not at all the same thing. Nick Saban is a household name, the best coach in college football, and then it becomes a task for the President of the University to close the deal.

This is where we aren't working at the same level as LSU, where we need full time athletic department employees who have a working knowledge of up and coming professionals in their industry to find the best fit. School Presidents, much less Board members, do not and should not have this knowledge.
