It's amusing to read passionate quotes from my fellow gotula.net posters who are confident they have all the answers (if only everyone would just listen :) ). I confess...I have posted some really stupid crap. Admit it, you have too! As an amusing exercise, I scanned threads from the last couple years looking for posts that would be considered 'most outrageous' when viewed with 2016 optics. I've listed some of my favorites below. Note: I didn't list any of Jonathan's because....well, you know why.

Got any that you would consider "most outrageous" ?

Although many threw shots at me for being behind CJ, he showed me that he was the man for the job in the Rutgers game. We lost, but we looked like a FBS program. We have not looked like that in a long time. Also, people don't realize how many games could have been won last season if weren't for the set backs. CJ is a winner, give the man time to work his magic. Guys like CJ take the worst jobs and turn things around quickly.

Turning our program around to a 9 or more winning team or C-USA championship team in only 2 years is going to make a few last place ACC, Big 12 and SEC schools pay attention and ask questions. The good thing is CJ loves New Orleans and loves Tulane for giving him a long awaited shot.

Lol. You can add all the comments from people who after the 1st 2 games were predicting Ga Tech in the playoffs and Duke as a 10 win team.

Call me crazy, but I think we can win seven or eight, possibly more. I am stone-cold confident we win at least six (Maine, Temple, UConn, Army, SMU, and Tulsa.)

I think we have a shot at upsetting Duke in the opener, and if we do, that could give our guys some serious self-confidence that could carry over the entire season.

I don't think we'll beat Ga. Teach at Atlanta.

I think we'll crush Maine.

I think we stand a chance against UCF.

I think we'll beat Temple.

I think we stand a chance against Houston.

I think we stand a chance against Navy.

I think we stand a chance against Memphis.

After that I think we'll blow through the tail end of the schedule.

As bad as we looked last year, this year's schedule is full of winnable games. The only game I see us as having very little shot at winning is at Georgia Tech.


BTW I predicted 12-0 in the summer of '98.
God Bless Everyone!

My position all along is that we need to pay the Head Coaching position a certain amount of money regardless of the performance of said coach that puts us in the Top 4 salary wise. Feel free to go read the many times I've stated that.

I must confess, I posted earlier this season that I didn't think we would average more than 8 points per game this year. I was wrong, we almost doubled that at 15.66 points per game this season. On the other hand, I pushed for WF four years ago, and thought he had the inside track on the HC job this year. I thought it would come down to WF or Hudspeth (oops :headbash: :headbash: ).

Let's hope some of my optimistic posts these past two weeks don't look as foolish as some of what I posted during the first half of 2013. Two years from now, I hope we're all overjoyed with TD and WF.

We did have a lot of good fortune the first half of that (2013) season, and even CJ said that team should have won 9 or 10 games that year. There was little or no offense the whole season, and having Cairo Santos was the best threat we had. CJ left a whole lot of W's on the table during his four years as head coach. That's why I don't think we're going to be sitting home watching the dot com bowl next year or very often the next few years.

If you're wrong about TD and WF, almost all of us will have been wrong. I'm beginning to feel a little like Buddy D. I hope that I live long enough to see the Wave in a respectable bowl game.

That's pretty interesting. I wonder if Messrs. Dickson, Cowen and their brain trust were even aware of WF. It's probably a safe assumption that if a particular strategy was a wise one that it was quickly dismissed by that crew.

Some of those CJ comments must have been right after the 2013 Tulsa game. It was all downhill after that.

Sader....wave755 posted he wanted Larry Coker, in response to your post...all things considered, he would have been a massive upgrade over one Curtis Johnson, who can now paint coconuts in peace

Yes sir. I backed CJ through his first season up to the second half of the 2013 season. However, he just totally fell off after the FAU game.

I didn't believe that he would keep Price as well. That was a terrible decision. The 2014 edition of Curtis Johnson was just perfect example of a inexperienced HC. If any of your coaches or member of your staff is bad at what they are doing, you fire them! CJ lost his job because he didn't manage a winning football program. Being a nice guy and giving too many chances can bite you where the Wave doesn't flow.

considering the internal fallout after the season, I am not sure CJ qualifies as a "nice guy"

Going back four years ago, I don't know if Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum every really considered WF--probably not. It doesn't really matter whether they considered him because I'm pretty sure there was no way they could have attracted a coach of that caliber. We got WF because we had TD doing the recruiting. TD is crucial in all of this, not just because he's vastly more talented that Tricky Ricky, but because he also represents a new order at Tulane. No talented coach in his right mind would have immersed himself into the Cow/Dick cesspool.

I still believe, that Benson bought CJ his job at Tulane.... Benson's 5 million dollar donation came with the stipulation that CJ got hired... CJ was going to be fired by the Saints, the Benson's like the guy for some unknown reason.. Benson got a 5 mill write off of his taxes and CJ got a job he was totally unqualified for... Tulane needs to investigate the football program under CJ and his treatment of players.. I bet he could be fired "with cause" and not owed one penny

Good idea about the investigation, it might save us some money. On the other hand, maybe the Bensons will pony up for CJ's severance package. You're probably right about about the Benson cram down of CJ--nothing else could explain hiring somebody like CJ as the head coach, except of course that Tricky Ricky was our AD. Either way, Tulane's athletic department was rife with incompetence and even corruption during the Cow/Dick years.

Audit Rick Dickson and SC finances around the time of CJ hiring and Benson's donation... I wonder if there was a large deposit in any of his or SC accoiunt's

Y'all seem to be forgetting that we tried offering the job to a number of others first. We gave CJ the job because no one else would take it.

If anyone is to be investigated, it's not CJ, who is only receiving market compensation for his efforts, which were unfortunately the best he was able to do. The real crooks are Cowen and Dickson, who have made millions by perpetuating this farce
