GB, WHAT ARE YOU SNORTIN', TO THINK SO HIGHLY OF HORTON???

Horton was 11-21 for 132 yards vs Houston. Showed grit late in the game but it wasn't an amazing performance.

Not a good game but it was what I was expecting. Hope Sumrall can pull in a good transfer QB and a couple WRs. Better days are ahead.

I caught most of the 2nd half and OTs. Very exciting game. FAU certainly has the potential to make another run.

Troy went from 5-7 to 12-2 in Sumrall's first year so I'm confident he knows how to bring in talent quickly. Tulane was not a very good football team this year and we would have been exposed regardless of whether Willie spoke to Houston the week of the SMU game or not if we take a step back next yea...

I think we'll be ok once the dust settles. Sumrall is no idiot. He'll bring in quality players. I like the recent commits. The Juco OL is only 2 stars but had several offers from solid G5 teams, including Troy. This isn't like the old days where we're loading up on players who were only offered by u...

Willie Fritz could care less about Tulane or its players. If he had, he would not have met and made deal with Fertitta the week of the SMU game. The distraction and disappointment coupled with his coaches preparing for their next jobs cost us an unprecedented two year run inNY6 bowl, 6 million in b...

Ibieta values his Tulane education. He’s close to getting his Tulane degree and therefore had no interest in leaving. He’s the best QB in house now and will be until proven otherwise. His second shoulder injury was the result of dumb coaching and that former OC was not retained at the start of the ...

Watching Nola Bowl and was curious if there was any interest in Rich Rod? I heard his name being mentioned by fans but never heard if he or Tulane had any interest. Glad we got Sumrall but how crazy it would have been had Rich Rod gotten the job 25 years after getting snubbed. Still stings and hard ...

Very exciting hire for sure and agree that we traded up. Willie was good but he's persona non grata at this point for me. This season showed that Fritz was on the decline.

F Fritz. I don't mind him taking guys who were planning on leaving anyway but sucks that he's taking top guys. Good but not great coach who got lucky that UCF and Cincy QBs were injured and USC's defense was a hot mess. Was out coached by Will Hall.

All the QBs entering the transfer portal should look at the Ok State QB who transferred to Ole Miss just to sit the bench.

Great news. It was clear he was the best candidate. I was worried they'd suddenly go with an OL coach at Georgia or something.

Then you are clueless as Deon quadrupled their wins from the prior year and is recruiting top talent. Colorado just received a commitment today from a 5 star OL. Give him another year to shore up their lines and they'll make another leap forward.

My first choice is Sumrall by far but Simmons is becoming my 2nd choice. He's had success at 2 schools that had been perennial losers in the SWAC. Also, the year he was OC at Middle Tennessee, they ranked 20th in total offense. I like Calhoun but he's not a great fit. Even at Ohio and Wake, he didn'...

Funny how people keep saying we are a better fit for ACC than Big 12. I'd say CUSAAC is the better fit than either based on our facilities. The ACC is not going to be calling anytime soon.

I'm not discounting his accomplishments, and he'd certainly be in the pool of candidates. However, at this current juncture of Tulane football and the fact that we have less room for error if we hope to get an invite to the ACC when FSU leaves, I'd want to hire a sitting head coach, a sitting assis...

Hard pass on Troy Calhoun and Jeff Monken. Can't believe we're interviewing them.

I wasn't too upset with Horton entering portal. He has some skills but looks a bit too immobile.

The most annoying public comment from Rick Dickson was when asked about conference realignment, he would continue to say we were joined at the hip with Rice and SMU. That even rankled the feathers of SMU fans.

I appreciate what Fritz accomplished but if I were a Houston fan, I'd be a bit underwhelmed. WF is a good but not great coach. Last year was a magical year but we still laid an egg against Southern Miss and gave up over 300 yards on the ground to UCF in the first meeting. Had the UCF and Cincinnati ...

I recall that we had a No to Gosha thread with several of the regulars insisting that Gosha could not be hired in spite of Coach Fritz's apparent preference. How many of those posters will accept any responsibility for perhaps giving Coach Fritz a reason to look elsewhere? How many of those posters...

Somewhere Jim Svoboda is smiling. Hat tip to SMU. Much better team., even with their backup QB.
