Add Nebraska to the long list of schools firing assistant coaches during the season .
President Fitts , B of A , it's put up or forever hold your peace time . Make Tulane ATHLETICS relevant and top 30 again .

TCU basically forced their coach to resign. But the players had fire in their bellies and edged out their bitter rival, Baylor, in a game where the fans got into it. The students and the fans rushed the field afterwards, Problem with our boys is that they are not getting emotionally charged up. Coaches have not done a good job with the talent they have. There is no bitter rivalry for Tulane anymore. Who in N.O. cares about going to games against Memphis, Tulsa, Temple, East Carolina, UAB, Cincinnati, and the Florida schools?

Bitter is hardly a word I would use to apply to any Tulane team or ANY team they play. They certainly did not get fired up after that illegal hit to Pratt by SMU. Fired up must not be in the vocabulary of any Tulane coach! However, playing the teams Lutzow listed is a lot more interesting than what we are looking at in the future.!

How about Jerry Springer coughing up some decent moola. He made millions from that dumb ass show! He was a good schmoozer when he was President of Tau Epsilon Pi! Hopefully, some generous sole will step forward and help get us at least out of the facilities mess!

You are absolutely right, but how have we arrived at this place.

The quote says easy to make any sacrifices "I have to make" not necessarily referring to cutting the coaches but his acceptance of a pay cut. The writer of the article put his spin on it making sound like he is saying it was easy firing his friends.golfnut69 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 11, 2021 10:31 amper Scott Frost, it was easy to take a pay cut and fire four freindsnawlinspete wrote: ↑Tue Nov 09, 2021 8:57 am Add Nebraska to the long list of schools firing assistant coaches during the season .

Fritz will return for 2022....anything LESS than a 3-1 start against this OOC schedule, and he needs to be shown the door prior to game 5...TD's office phone needs to be filled with that message

I wish I knew who should be fired. Unfortunately, the season has imploded in such a monumental way, there are too many coaches to blame. I want to say most of it is on Chip Long, but at this point, I don't really know. Also even Will Hall, who seemed to really help us "turn the corner", has only 1 win at Southern Miss. It makes you wonder what we have been settling for. I think Fritz gets another year, but this feels like the beginning of the end for him here. I hope I'm wrong. He's at least made us quasi-relevant again. As in alum who has experienced far worse teams post-Katrina, I really enjoyed the new atmosphere on campus during gameday and even a few bowl games with family.

Jerry Springer will probably have Dannen and Fitts on his show—highlighting human dysfunctionality.Bigschtick wrote: ↑Thu Nov 11, 2021 5:04 pmHow about Jerry Springer coughing up some decent moola.

I wonder about Fritz. He looks so disillusioned and lost, I’m really starting to wonder if he will want to come back next year—crazy contract or not.

Deep down he's hoping to be fired so he can get out of here and yet still steal more money from Tulane.

Aren’t we still paying off Dunleavy for that ridiculously long contract Dannen gave him? What makes you think that Fitts would give approval for Dannen to fire Fritz when Dannen just gave him that massive contract extension last year? Plus I want Dannen gone ASAP and do not want him making any more coaching hires for Tulane. Dannen is a cancer on Tulane athletics.HoustonWave wrote: ↑Sat Nov 13, 2021 10:27 pmDannen may accommodate him—just to fade some heat, and buy some more time for himself.

All true. But there is no indication that Fitts cares one flip about what’s going on with Tulane athletics. He’s too busy leading the new AAC to new heights.Sunamiwave wrote: ↑Sat Nov 13, 2021 11:12 pmAren’t we still paying off Dunleavy for that ridiculously long contract Dannen gave him?

Here is my semi rational take: Fritz gets one more year because he has been a good soldier and has led us to new heights (and ultimately has too large of a buyout left). The Ad has been excited for the OOC schedule for 2021 for awhile ans this is the perfect tome for them to add a resume bullet point about bringing Tulane to new heights. Anything less than 7 wins gets willie fired next year. I also think they force him to fire Atleast 3 coaches

100 out of 130 D1 programs would fire a coach in Fritz's shoes. He hasn't won a game versus an FBS opponent in a year. We're announcing to the world, once again, that Tulane doesn't give a damn about athletics. And Dannen needs to go as well.
Play Horton. Pratt was brutal yesterday and should have been pulled at some point. But I guess accountability (or lack thereof) trickles down.
