Billy Kennedy, who won championships at schools in three different D1 conferences including the SEC, could not get an interview with our inept and pompous athletics director.
Although the competition is fierce, Troy Dannen is the most incompetent AD in Green Wave history!!!
The future of sports at Tulane is in serious jeopardy, and no one in the administration is communicating with its constituents.

+1000. This post is spot on about the problems with Tulane athletics under Dannen. The alarm bells are going off and no one is responding. I fear that Tulane athletics will continue to wither away until nothing is left unless major changes are made. Football, basketball, and baseball are horrific and Dannen is MIA. Most of our conference mates in the AAC have launched major fundraising drives for facility upgrades while Dannen has done nothing in his six years at Tulane to build new facilities. Dannen needs to be sent packing right away.

Most of us did—in our zeal to see the Cow/Dick show finally leave. I guess we should have looked harder at Dannen’s “high end” credentials coming out of the athletic bastion of Northern Iowa. How did Fitts, or anyone else for that matter, even find this guy?Pepper wrote: ↑Wed Dec 08, 2021 6:04 amI yelled that he was the guy when we hired this clown.Citypark wrote: ↑Tue Dec 07, 2021 10:18 pm Billy Kennedy, who won championships at schools in three different D1 conferences including the SEC, could not get an interview with our inept and pompous athletics director.

Quite the opposite...he is at home counting his cash and watching over the planned destruction of athletics. This is the plan. Make athletics so unsustainable economically that cancellation is the only outcome. Poor performance will lead to the loss of a fan base. Which will lead to the loss of financial support. This is the long term plan. The alumni donor base is allowing this to happen either because it is what they want or they don't care.HoustonWave wrote: ↑Wed Dec 08, 2021 6:28 am

Fitts needs to fire Dannen and Hunter and the DC .
Other university presidents demand success for athletics AND academics , Fitts needs to join them .

I am as frustrated with TD as the next guy but what went wrong? Many of us applauded the Dunleavy and also the Ron Hunter hires as both, although completely different, looked interesting on paper. The Jewett hire seemed intelligent - rising assistant coach that helped another top academic school win a college world series - but I wanted to hire one of the Tulane baseball coaching alums. Willie looked good on paper as well and I still hope Willie can get his shit together but not gonna place a bet on it. Why is the reality not matching the rhetoric/records/other with these recent hires?

TD is a complete failure...He needs to be fired with cause, the cause, his own ineptitude.... now off to ole Metry and work on the tan lines between bites of a Short Stop sandwhich, who by the way supports lsu athletics

Worst back to back basketball hires in Tulane history.
Scary thing is Dannen gave both of them extensions.
Only Tulane could search the country and manage to find an AD that is worst than RD.

Did they really search the country, or did Dickson direct them to Dannen and we just didn't know it?Show Me wrote: ↑Wed Dec 08, 2021 1:10 pmWow! I didn’t even think about our conference record. Thanks for posting that.dpm wave wrote: ↑Wed Dec 08, 2021 11:48 am16-17 (6-25)

Pretty sure they hired a search committee.

We can only hope Arnie would still be interested at some point when Dannen is gone.

What was the reason for the animosity between Benson and Fielkow? Was that related to Bountygate? Wonder if he would have been considered a serious candidate otherwise...
I recall that Fielkow had a very precise, step-by-step action plan for restoring Tulane athletics.
Show Me is correct. Benson got rid of Arnie when Arnie exposed Benson plans of moving the Saints permanently to San Antonio after Katrina. Arnie’s leak probably saved the move. Benson blackballed him every chance he could for exposing that idea years later. Arnie was a lock otherwise. He had incredible detained plans and a timetable of what he planned for Tulane Athletics. I all my years I’ve never seen a set of blueprints like that for Tulane Athletics. I had a link but it’s no longer active. I wish I had taken screenshots or downloaded it. Someone supporting Arnie as AD choice had emailed about 50 of us with the plans so maybe someone reading this could provide more info.GreenLantern wrote: ↑Wed Dec 08, 2021 1:30 pmWhat was the reason for the animosity between Benson and Fielkow?

Be proactive, being reactive is for losers..
