Now my bad on my post. I was referring to Dannen.

My bad as well. I thought TD came to a Greenbackers event, or at least to some sort of function a couple of posters here were going to about a month or so ago.

Sadly he did attend two events (funerals) only weeks apart for fellow GB’s Mike Johnston and Mitch Compeaux. And gave Mitch’s eulogy. I’m not aware of anything else.

Guerry is obviously incompetent. Can you imagine the LSU beat writer not trying to get an answer to their fans most pressing question? For Tulane fans the pressing question was did Dannen extend Jewett’s contract and for how long? Also what was Dannen’s justification for extending Jewett’s contract since he has never made it to a regional with Tulane? Guerry if he was a good beat writer would have worked his sources on this issue. At the very least he should of let us know if he asked Dannen about this and provided us with Dannen’s response. Instead Guerry pretends like the issue does not exist. It is all very strange and does not reflect well on Guerry.

Being a state university, LSU is required to provide employment details. Tulane is not. Any LSU writer would not ask because the information would already be available. No one owes anything to any sports writer. You are barking up the wrong tree. If you are a Green Wave Club member or season ticket holder, Troy Dannen owes more to you than to some idiot sports writer.

I know that LSU as a public university is required to turn over the information and Tulane is not. However that is not what I said in my previous post. LSU’s beat writer tries to get answers or at least asks the most pressing questions that LSU fans want him to ask.. Guerry does not ask Dannen or his sources at Tulane the most pressing question that many Tulane fans want him to ask which currently has to do with Jewett’s contract. It really is strange how Guerry completely ignores this and it does not reflect well on him.

Guerry is not a POS and does not owe anything to those here who cannot even bring themselves to spend a few lousy dollars to support his site.

When everyone knows All of our coaches got contract extensions and he don't have the decency to write about it I am not going to cut him some slack. Don't want to hear that Tulane never sent a news release on this. He is lazy in a long list of Tulane beat writers who don't give a @#$% about Tulane. The difference is he is the worst of the list. Is Dannen his only contact. If not he should get some info on this and write it. If Dannen don't like it the hell with him also.

I spoke with two people in the Athletic office, I asked them directly if TJ was extended...they both told me nothing had been announced and they, like Sgt Schultz, knew nothing

Guerry doesn’t work for the AD and isn’t in some communications roll with the school where he walks the party line and is simply the “messenger”. He is (in theory) a journalist covering the program for a local publication. He is supposed to investigate, cultivate sources and ask questions. Obviously he doesn’t want to burn bridges within the administration but these questions should be written about in the publication and pressure applied.
