Chip Long Gone

[winwave]

Mack was young then and being the OC was his thing. Mack was our OC not Davis. Davis was a bad HC for us. Never got a HC job again . Mack eventually fired him at Texas.

[Pepper]

Really interested to see who we come up with as OC.

Chip Long be gone.

Other than a few new tight-end pass plays, not much there from Chip Long. I thought this would be Pratt’s year. It was Long’s job to make that happen, he didn’t.

Adios, Chip.

Your reaching here.
Brown and Davis had been a coaching team dating back to the 1980s at Tulane and then again at North Carolina in the '90s before Brown brought Davis with him to Texas before the 1998 season. Yes Davis was a lousy head coach for us but he wasn’t a bad assistant like Chip Long was over his career.

Not reaching. Go back and read my OP. I said he was a terrible HC for us and he was. I never said he was a bad assistant. I said he wasn't our OC and he wasn't. He was our Asst. HC and WR coach. His own bio says it-

Coaching career (HC unless noted)
1973–1974 Barbe HS (LA) (Assistant)
1975–1977 PNG HS (TX) (Assistant)
1978–1984 Texas A&M (QB)
1985–1987 Tulane (AHC/WR)
1988–1991 Tulane
1992–1993 Arkansas (OC/QB)
1994–1995 Georgia (QB)
1996–1997 North Carolina (OC/QB)
1998–2010 Texas (OC/QB)
2012–2016 Iowa (OC/QB)
Head coaching record
Overall 14–31

Long did well at Memphis and ND. He also was a finalist for the Broyles award for best assistant coach. You're beyond reaching there.

Miami taking Covid profits from its hospital system to pay Cristobal. Why didn't we think of that? LOL

Wait, didn't Tulane sell its hospital after Katrina?

Don't shoot the messenger. Miami U said its hospital system showed a $400M profit in 2020 and would help pay for Cristobal. So yes, in a state where Covid has been allowed to run rampant, the poor and sick are subsidizing entertainment.

FLA is going to pay a lot of coaches.

Sold 75% of it to HCA in the early 1990s.

My daughter works at a hospital and disputes that because many hospitals like hers are non profits and can't make more than reasonable profits for reinvestments. Does not go in pockets but in growing the hospitals for future pandemic and needs. Answers are not one-word sentences elaborate when responding!!! The future in healthcare requires major investments for the Publics Health.

Get our former OL Coach who wound up on the Arkansas staff. Coach Kennedy would make a stellar OC. He'd know who to bring for the rest of the offensive staff.
Please call Lionel and offer him the DC position with a guaranteed payout.

University of Miami is connected with the gigantic Jackson Memorial Hospital. Named after the son of a Tulane medical school grad btw. James Jackson.

Thanks for resuming the topic of this thread—our new OC.

[Dave breslin]

WTF does all this hospital stuff about Long going? Other than his O line sent people to the hospital—I don’t get it!

[Bicoastalwave]

Alex Atkins would be a good hire or someone with deep connections in the south but must have OC experiance. Someone who could develop Pratt would be wonderful

from an ESPN article
Former university president Donna Shalala helped acquire Cedars Medical Center in 2007 and turn it into the University of Miami Health System, seeing it as an investment that could bring a large profit stream to the university.
Though it was controversial at the time and lost money for many years, the health system generated over $400 million in profit in the recently completed fiscal year.
That explains why Miami shifted its mindset. We can all decry the large salaries and buyouts and what they have done to the sport, or the way that Cristobal and Brian Kelly and Lincoln Riley all left. Unseemliness has ruled the day.

based on rankings, go UTSA, they are the least "Indoctrinated" and most probably the best educated

Wish we had continued this thread on coaching. But would that help us out of our funk? Overall, it sounds like - over the past 50 years - we could never get and retain the coaching staff we needed to win consistently. Or was it the quality of the players? Or the training facilities? Or the stadium? Or the weak fan-base? Or poor alumni support? Or the hurricanes? Or is it the City itself? Or a little bit of all of the above? It sure is discouraging to be a fan of the Green Wave. I fear this is just a flat-lining of a program that has already slipped below the median line. Bottom-feeders like catfish. Very sad today. On a better note, I met today with a lady from TCU's program where my daughter is a freshman. They have a new coach (came from SMU). Sonny Dykes.

Chip Long's star dimmed tremendously at ND and he was pushed out of his OC role. We certainly didn't hire him away from ND! His star at Tulane never shined and for those of us that watched, his play calling sucked. If you know your O-Line cannot pass block, you work around that. He never really came to grips with that. His biggest calling card was his relationship with Coach Hall. GaTech can have him.

Mark Whipple today resigned as OC at Pitt .

Hire him, hire him NOW! He's not in it for the money or status. With any luck we can get his protégé Liam Coen away from Kentucky..
Hire Lionel as DC and watch our defense play fundamentally sound while Louisiana denfensive recruits consider Tulane as a viable option.
