Exactly. Dannen and Fitts have taken us in reverse
I can’t even believe the Tulane board managed to find two losers that make Cowen and Dickson acceptable. This is just beyond belief.

Sorry , but Fitts IS NOT a loser . He has done a superb job with academics . Academics are the true purpose of a university , save for the few that are ruined by one that have allowed athletics to get away with anything that will produce wins . Examples , for instance , would be Miles , Orgeron and the MBB joke at LSU .
President Fitts , B of A , it's put up or forever hold your peace time . Make Tulane ATHLETICS relevant and top 30 again .

Fitts is going to raise a billion dollars for
Tulane and then bow out @ about his 10th year as president.

He will leave Tulane at its apogee to that time for its long history as a university.

First, in the poll Hindman Wall is given credit for beating LSU thrice but nothing is mentioned about the Wally English fiasco much less the shutting down of the basketball program. Any other candidate on this poll would have to literally murder people to be considered worse, including Rick Dickson.

Second, while it's not looking too good so far we need take a deep breath before judging TD. We better not do anything rash. It's not like talented AD people are lining up to take this job.

This ended the thread in 2017 and should end it today. Yes, we have had a plethora of horrible ADs but until one has the football team forfeit victories and the basketball program shut down completely nobody's taking that title from Hindman Wall.
God Bless Everyone!

Picking the worst Tulane AD is as hard as picking Tulane’s worst President. Just too many to pick from.
Tulane is the University of Louisiana
