Scelfo Fired at Tulane, ire at UL, hired at Tech

[RCAJUN90]

He interviewed for the job, basically for leverage to get more money from Bowden as OC at Clemson, just in case Tulane would lose their freaking mind and opt NOT to hire Rodriguez...

BOY did Tulane really USL that one eh?

Isn't he from Abbeville? He got a million dollar buyout. Is he good at offense? Perhaps we could sway him to come home?

Scelfo is the one who told Bustle to reconsider UL...
He is the one that called us a "Sleeping Giant" after the Baldwin fire...

So I know they know each other.

He would make a nice OC. But then again, so would Steve Spurrier or Urban Meyer.

He just got a million dollar payday for being fired. I thought he might like to come home and work under Bustle.

I have heard some rumors of young high school coaches, whom are alumni of ULL(such as Wayne Stein and Eric Rekeita class of 03). Do these young coaches really have a chance, I am all for new blood, especially guys who love the program. I am new to this site and I am wondering if anyone can confirm or has heard rumors about either of the two.

I tried to start the rumor about Scelfo. That would be cool. but I haven't heard anything for real. Someone said something about bringing in a really strong DC and letting Bustle run the Offense, while bringing in a younger coach to work under him, perhaps as a QB coach or something like that. I guess one of the ones you named would fit under that season. It would be really good for them, not sure how good it would be for UL.

I have heard Mike Collins will be applying for the DC job. He was the HC at ULM a few years ago.

There are higher qualified high schools coaches in this area, if Bustle wants to go in that direction.

I was talking to a girl who works for the football team yesterday. and before I start, let's remember that this is a RUMOR thread and I am not sure of the credibilty of the girl's source or if she overheard a RUMOR or somthing credible. Nevertheless. She was saying that she was kinda sad about the coaches leaving, I explained to her that its a business and stuff. Then she said, unsolicited by me, that she believes that we are looking at the Tulane coach (Scelfo). She says that she doesn't know for sure if they've actually had direct contact with him, but, she says that they have made trips to NOLA to watch him coach.

Don't jump on me or anything, these aren't my words. but, since its a rumor thread, might as well list and speculate on all the rumors we hear. I think it does give a glimmer of a possibility that Scelfo would come. i think anyone who has been an HC at a bigger school with some success would be great for us. Anyway, let's just hope that the best hire is made and that RB can get who he wants, be that Scelfo or somebody else who he thinks fits.

Rumor has it Troy will be looking for a new DC as well due to a departure. Wonder who they will try to get.

Not jumping but that comment seems kind of squirrelly. Who would have gone to see him coach, and when? Having someone with his experience and local ties would be great; but that one comment just didn't add up for me.

That was the one thing she said that was odd to me too. who knows? At least we know that Scelfo's name is floating around in the athletic department (i think).
