Can someone explain to Pratt how to change cadence and snap counts. Jesus Christ. These guys are off to a running start every snap.

Game too close and too much time left.
Because he’s just a bad coach.

Why are they getting such a good jump off the snap?

They are snapping on clap and Houston knows it. Really bad coaching. As bad as OL is, they don’t need to be giving Houston that advantage. How bad does that look on TV!

Because everyone on the staff know they have job security. And if you give one penny to Tulane you’re abetting this.

How does nobody on the staff understand or see the need for changing up the snap counts. Even the announcer is saying it for the last 5 minutes. It's bad enough we can't block but when the guy across from you has a running head start every single play you have no shot.

Why did he sacrifice the field position and go for it from his own 40 on 4th down with 8 mins left???…. He gave them
7 there, what was he thinkin…

Anyway off night from houston, but no TOs from Tulane = loss… pretty straightforward.

This is the most bewildering coaching staff i've seen in a long time. The decisions are bizarre, the inability to adjust is bizarre, the lack of common football knowledge like snap counts is bizarre. If you know your offensive line is under siege you have to do things to at least help them have a prayer. Vary snap counts, go fast, go slow, change speed, change direction, get rid of the ball quick, etc etc. It's like we just said we are going to do what we do and if that means they get 12 sacks and kill our QB so be it.

I’d like to thank the defensive coaches for not giving up 430 points in one game. And for our offensive line being offensive and playing with their eyes closed because they don’t want to see the carnage that goes on in the backfield 😳🏈

Claybrook got run over half the night. Other than improved tight end play Chip Long has brought nothing to this team.

Why the hell would they need to snap on clap when they’re playing at home? That’s crazy.

Unbelievable. What is Willie thinking putting Pratt in pocket with 20 seconds to play. He already got him hurt in Ole Miss game down 40. Oh wait, I think we set a school record for sacks given up on that last one.
Tulane will be lucky to keep Pratt, Ibieta, Horton, Carroll, Spears, James and Wallace as well as punter Wright from entering transfer portal and lucky to keep Long at OC.

How many years are left on Fritz’s contract with that crazy extension Dannen gave him last year? Six? This is insane!!

I have great sympathy for Long having to coach an offense with this OL.

Pitiful performance. Fire Troy Dannen! He’s making Rick Dickson look like a competent AD.

Willie needs to go to the nearest assisted living facility. He no longer has any idea how to coach. He’s a thinner Bob Toledo.

Call Hunter Biden— maybe he can help salvage Tulane—after he’s done snorting the coke of that 14 year old’s ass.
