Re: Yulman Stadium Upgrades/Improvements
IPF will start in May, once spring semester ends, and be ready for fall practice in August.
Performance Center needs to get the fundraising completed and then start. Guess is late 24/early 25, hopefully in time for 2025 football season, but that may be a little hopeful.

Re: Football Head Coach Jon Sumrall
We have an AD, contrary to what a lot of folks opined, who knows what he is doing, 20+ years in Athletics admin, and plenty of contacts. Thank you Doug for giving up 6 weeks of your life in leading the search to find this man. We have a COO who is solidly behind athletics, served as Interim AD after...

Re: Football Head Coach Jon Sumrall
All of our thanks should go to David Harris (and Doug Hertz for bringing him here) and Patrick Norton, TU COO. Those 2 worked non-stop these past 7-10 days., both in trying to keep Willie and then pivoting to the new coach search/hire.

Re: New HC profile
OUG is dead on. Who promised an announcement by Friday (no one at Tulane)? Who said Sumrall wants the job (no one besides Guerry)? Consider the source.

Re: New HC profile
I am hearing Fletcher will finally have his way and Frank Wilson will be our new head coach (just kidding, we need a little levity given this past weekends events).
David Harris is leading the search/making the hire, not the other DH, as was erroneously reported.

Sumrall has SEC dreams and can dominate his conference (with possible exception of JMU if they can keep momentum with new coach)

Re: New HC profile
I love Sumrall but also heard he turned down a chance to interview at Duke. Kinne at Texas St is a young up and comer (although did coach Lindsay Scott at Incarnate Word 😳) with lots of Texas HS contacts and supposed to be offensive genius. Only 34 I think though. I also think Patterson would be a g...

It will be up to him and his staff to get the job done. While many on here were not impressed with his ...

It will be large enough for all practice conditions/scenarios with the exception of punting. If we can raise the necessary funds ($ 50M - $ 70M), Sports Performance Center...

Yes, I am very happy with the hire.

Re: Tulane EEKS out Win over Rice 30-28
We're up 27-14, and had made consecutive 1st downs to the Rice 41 when Pratt makes a poor decision, misses Brazzell wipe open over the middle, and underthrows into double coverage. Poor decision, poor result. It happens and completely changed the game. He has to be smarter there and knows it. The ti...
