If job becomes available, could we just start a NEW THREAD?

Dannen already knows his next coach and will likely name him right away should TJ take Washington St. We can start a congrats thread on the new coach. Should it require a search we can start over.Bigschtick wrote: ↑Tue May 28, 2019 9:56 am If job becomes available, could we not just start a NEW THREAD?

Just how I see it. SELA able to make that hire now. I doubt Tulane is ready or willing to do the same at this time.Profoundwizard wrote: ↑Tue May 28, 2019 10:10 amSoutheastern wins that trade.
I’d be upset with that scenario.

I don't disagree with your rational, but I'd rather have AC than Riser as our next head coach. I'm not sure that Dannen or the Board are ready to hire AC this soon after the scandal that cost him his last job.tpstulane wrote: ↑Tue May 28, 2019 10:15 amJust how I see it.

It would be the move that gets us back to the Regionals the quickest, though. And with all we have invested in baseball, we need to put a team on the field that has a shot at the CWS most years. Too much $$ went into Turchin, and it needs to be supplemented with more financial aid for baseball players trying to put a team on the field with 11.7 scholarships at a $75k/yr University.

TD, Fitts and the Board may not be ready to look past AC’s transgressions. On the other hand, they could put all kinds of restrictive clauses in his contract, and thereby maintain the moral high ground. Beyond all that, I’m not so sure that the biggest strike against bringing AC in as head coach isn’t the tantrum that his family threw when Jewett was hired.
Tulane is the University of Louisiana
When pigs fly...no way TD is hiring AC. Nor should he. AC made some serious bone headed choices not that long ago. Bad behavior followed up by lying. That's what I look for in an employee. Anyone here want to hire AC for their company? I'll pass. Oh yay, TD also gets the AC family criticism as well while he's a TU employee. All the dirty laundry about how TU is screwing AC over with promises they don't keep. It's not AC's fault its on TD he promised AC X, Y, and Z. And when did AC speak out about his brothers verbal assaults on TD? I didn't see anything. What to they say about burning bridges....this one was nuked.
Riser will do just fine. No interest in the Blake (UNO).

With his Northshore roots and connections he’d be a great fit for a comeback in Hammond. I don’t think Tulane is willing to risk it at this point. He’d be a steal for SELA.

Yeskie just got a huge raise & contract last year because his name was listed in plenty of open jobs. He is one of the top paid assistants.

There is no way in hell Tulane or TD go after and hire AC. It's just not happening. This is holier than thou Tulane we're talking about.

I would have been ok with AC until I heard he was texting his whore during the games. That's a huge red flag to me. I wouldn't be upset with him being hired, but I'd rather follow the model we have with football and basketball which is rewarding someone from a lower level like the Sun Belt and Southland.

President Fitts , B of A , it's put up or forever hold your peace time . Make Tulane ATHLETICS relevant and top 30 again .
Why is everybody so excited about the method in the last two hires. Hunter hasn’t done a thing yet and Fitz is to be applauded for the bowl season but jeez it took a last play 2 point conversion to beat a bad navy team. I do think Fitz will continue to do a good job, notvas optimistic on Hunter.

Hope is a good thing, better than despair for sure.

I don’t think the method is the exciting part. Having a new coach is. If you’re not optimistic about Hunter, that’s probably got more to do with how difficult it is to win in basketball at Tulane right now, because there’s nothing not to like about him.Jaxwave wrote: ↑Tue May 28, 2019 8:58 pm Why is everybody so excited about the method in the last two hires.

He used us last time to get a raise, doubt he’d be more interested in us now.
