Tulane’s new coach

[jaxmc1023]

Somebody offers you "three or four more years of this BS" and you can retire with $20 million in the bank... hard to pass up

That's interesting... didn't Fritz give a big talk after last season about his commitment to staying at Tulane? And that was after a big bowl upset. Interesting that he would leave now, instead of last year when his star was so high. Wonder if there's more to that story.

And you're right, that gives us a definite recruiting advantage.

The "more to the story" is his QB either declaring for the draft or transfer portal.

What if we beat Tulane next year?

More reason to no want them, lol

That's just not accurate. QB or not didn't factor into this. He was very very closed to going to GA Tech last year and this year the Tulane president did not hire the AD Fritz wanted so he is leaving. And for a big bump in pay and to a team now in the Big 12 that has no big dog anymore. Fertitta is pumping a lot of money into that program.

Absolutely and it's probably his last if not only chance to coach in a P5 conference at his current age.

NOLA TP says Troys and Toledos coach are "high on the list" to replace Willie

[Cajunsmike]

Some believe going from Troy to Tulane is a lateral move. Football wise that may be true. However, Tulane has a lot of wealthy alumni and they can pay more than Troy. At this stage, the difference between the American and Sun Belt continues to shrink. Perception wise, American is still viewed as a higher level league. Results on the field show that is not necessarily correct.

Tulane is a better job than Troy.

Tulane got NIL $$$. Ask Kam Pedescleaux.

"Tulane wants to be P5, but they aren't even doing things at the G5 level."

The dust still hasn't settled, and I've already heard from both players and staff within #Tulane Athletics. Without going into too much detail, I can say this.

There is still a huge lack of support…
