"There isn't any question it's not meeting anyone's expectations. If it's meeting someone's expectations, then that person needs expectations that are significantly higher, because mine are. For me, if we're not in the top half of the league, then it bears a careful evaluation of why not, and what it's going to take to get there. That's where I'm at with basketball right now," said Dannen.

Fox 8 just ran the entire story. TD said if a change is made it wouldn't happen until the end of the season. Said he won't fire a coach in the middle of the season. "You have to treat people right and firing someone in the middle of the season is not treating them right if they are doing things right". Said it would send a bad message to any potential future coach.
Be proactive, being reactive is for losers..

The memo just arrrived ; " be advised that TD is now on 'double secret probation' for an undisclosed period of time. TD's vocal attitude and opinions are unacceptable, and until his attitude improves, the flogging's will continue and his pleas for help and forgiveness will be ignored"...signed; Big Yogi & The Yogettes....

This is more convincing than the rumors about CJ's firing before the last football game of the season. Our AD has a vision, and Conroy is not living up to it. He's going to be history very shortly after the last horn of the season.RobertM320 wrote:"There isn't any question it's not meeting anyone's expectations.

Funny! Good post, JJ.

But that's not really "the takeaway" from Dannen's comments. Dannen's comments are far more pointed at Rick Dickson and the culture of failure that has permeated Tulane for too long.
This is a message to fans, not so much about the basketball program specifically, but about a new way to think about Tulane Athletics.

It's not as funny as it is sad. Again, that forum contributed significantly to the problem that Dannen is specifically trying to address.GreenLantern wrote:Funny! Good post, JJ.

Also, this is 1000000000% related to Stockholm Syndrome. Dannen is sending a message that expectations have been too low for too long. That has come from Gibson Hall, Dickson and the censorship forum, and Dannen is pushing back hard against all of the above.
It's a new day and holy $hit is this refreshing.

A friend of mine, who has close ties with someone in the athletic department, told me that Dannen wants all ties to the Cowen/Dickson era to be removed. This is coming from Mr Fitts. Some hanger's on are looking for openings at other schools.

That's why when organizations are broken they do what's called a "house cleaning". And exactly why Cowen/Dickson wanted the opposite.chain gang x man wrote:A friend of mine, who has close ties with someone in the athletic department, told me that Dannen wants all ties to the Cowen/Dickson era to be removed.

JJ I actually agree with this post and the response to my post above. The idea of breaking all ties to the Cow/Dick regime is incredibly refreshing and astounding after the first 16 months of the Fitts era. Fitts is proving to NOT be a puppet of the Cowen appointed and self-gratifying board. As recently as November I thought the new regime was more of the same old same ole. Now I think Fitts is cleaning house, once he thoroughly understood how decrepit the house was.jonathanjoseph wrote:That's why when organizations are broken they do what's called a "house cleaning".

I think a whole lot of Cowen's luster was lost when it came out that the University had been operating at a loss of somewhere between $15-20 million for the last few years of Cowen's presidency. I hope this goes further and someone investigates Cowen (and Dickson's) bank accounts in wake of that scandal and the building of Yulman. The fact that they couldn't put an exact number out on the loss speaks volumes.
Troy Dannen is a HUGE improvement over Rick Dickson. Let's hope Fitts, despite his doofy and clumsy public speaking, is as good as the last few months have lead us to believe.

This is so refreshing! CJ's football program has already been purged. In a few weeks we will finally be rid of Conroy.chain gang x man wrote:A friend of mine, who has close ties with someone in the athletic department, told me that Dannen wants all ties to the Cowen/Dickson era to be removed.

Well, Fitts has been sweeping out Gibson Hall for quite a while, as I tried to point out back then.chain gang x man wrote:A friend of mine, who has close ties with someone in the athletic department, told me that Dannen wants all ties to the Cowen/Dickson era to be removed.

As for Dannen wanting the place cleaned out, does that include Burke? Kind of hope not.
Also, Dickson's #2 (who seems like a reasonable person to me) and his SID are still around.
I guess he's giving them time to look elsewhere, which goes along with the "treating people right" comment in the video above.
That was a certainty. It had been decided weeks before. Some people didn't believe it because they convinced themselves that Cowen was still running things from his basement.DfromCT wrote:
