#Tulane fires volleyball coach after back-to-back dreadful seasons in AAC. New commitment to winning?
Change is a coming!Guerry Smith @Guersmith 19m19 minutes ago
After 28-4 season in last year of CUSA, #Tulane volleyball went 5-27 and 10-22 in 1st 2 years of AAC, 7-33 in conference.
If success is measure by victories and accolades, the Sinisa Momic era of Tulane volleyball has more than met expectations during his six seasons at the helm of the Green Wave program.
Long overdue!!! The new AD is going have a clean slate to hire their own Football Coach, Volleyball Coach and could very well a Men's Basketball Coach in March. Rick Dickson should have been fired a long time ago!!!!! Look at the mess he is leaving behind!oliveandblue wrote:Conroy better make the NIT or he's history.
This "accountability" thing is something new here at Tulane.
And they should. This is a good sign.JerseyWave wrote:Long overdue!!!

How can you have any doubt that this is the case? Do you think that Momic would be terminated if President Fitts disapproved? Surely you can't believe that Dickson has suddenly decided to judge by the W-L ratio.GreenGears wrote:I wonder (read pray) if Fitts is actually the guy pushing out all of these people. He arrives last summer, evaluates the situation for a few months. He then realizes he has a terrible AD who is somehow popular with the board so he nudges the AD into "retirement" and now we're cleaning house throughout athletics. We can only hope that Basketball is also on the chopping block...
I'll wait to buy in until we see who the new AD, football HC and mens basketball HC are.GreenLantern wrote:How can you have any doubt that this is the case?

I suspect that Dickson has been neutered. Fitts should just tell him to clean out his office and start retirement early. I don't want to smell him when the new AD and coaches are introduced.GreenGears wrote:I'll wait to buy in until we see who the new AD, football HC and mens basketball HC are.GreenLantern wrote:How can you have any doubt that this is the case?

I believe the last gasp from Dickson was the bungled Johnson termination (Thursday; "He's not fired until I say he's fired"; Monday: "Okay, he's fired"). That served absolutely no purpose except to assuage the pride of an egomaniac.JerseyWave wrote:I suspect that Dickson has been neutered.
