So if he flops you can fund the $3 mill from your large trust account.

If that's true than MR and AC are out. It would be be crazy as well to penalize a Tulane degree.
His history is to hire older proven HC's. Hiring based on where you went to school seems far-fetched. I think Dallas Bap HC is the front runner.
No way he comes here, he turned down Texas who has deeper pockets and more prestige. Right now DB's program is every bit as good as Tulane and is in the center of one of the most loaded recruiting grounds.

That's interesting. The word some put out was that he was very tied to that school on religious grounds. You confident in your sources? (As I always say you can't convey tone on the internet. So just to be clear I am just asking. I know you follow this closely and I respect your opinion and information.) Thanks.

That's not accurate. Andy is certainly in the mix as is Riser. Both will have every opportunity to get it and their Tulane background will be a plus not a negative. Very confident in my source on that.

Just an opinion but he would make more $ here and our program(conference, facilities, etc) would be enough to trump his religious affiliation to the school.

Dan Heefner, the DBU HC, turned down the UT job that Pierce took. He likes being at a small University with Baptist ties. He built a solid program, and doesn't look like he's anxious to leave. I don't think he's even in the running, at his choice. If I'm wrong on this, we'd be getting one heck of a coach, whom had his team higher ranked than Tulane all year. But I don't see him turning down UT and coming to TU.

I understand that but he interviewed for the Baylor job last year and Texas this year. If he is so happy, why keep casting your line?

He was also offered the baylor job and he turned it down too. Heefners not going anywhere if you ask me.

My point is why does he keep getting interviews if he is steadfast against leaving. I do believe he is a long shot but where there is smoke they may be fire.

Perhaps to get more money out of DBU?

Just my thoughts. Now someone is going to say that I've got a conspiracy rumor about DBU!

Classy message from Pierce. And hopefully Tulane has already received the buyout money.

His buy out $1m should be in the Tulane bank account. Pierce is a traitor to Tulane after only 24 months. He promised during his interview to take us to Omaha. He is a liar and scumbag.

Looks like part of the buyout went to getting out of coming here next season.

The way that reads is that people assumed their was a return series next season but in fact it was not on the schedule in the first place.

Safe to assume that because that's usually the case. Safe to assume Pierce leaving played a role.

No role to play if it was not on the schedule.

Right. We played at Pepperdine in 2015 and they returned to play us in 2016. You pretty much can assume we'll get a return trip when you do these deals. Augie G and David Pierce are friends. I'm sure had both remained we'd be getting a Texas return. Our new coach will have some gaps to fill I'm sure.

Don't think it would be a first. Then again there is always a first time.

We have to schedule some away series with SEC/ACC teams in the future. With their inflated RPI's, I would take a 2 for 1 in their favor.
