I agree 1000%. Ya know, I've watched ECU for many, many years, I've had the pleasure of watching Houston live this year and of course Memphis on TV this year. When I watch you 3 teams, plus USF the games are fun. You never know what play is going to come up next. The players are excited, jumping around, patting each other on the back and the fans are focused and just having a blast. The atmosphere that the Houston fans brought this year to our stadium was contagious and I've been pulling for them ever since. Their fans were a class act and so were their players and coaches. I can say the same for Memphis last year and for many years in the past. We had that same excitement in the late 90's.

Getting a quality OC or a head coach from a fcs team that has an unpredictable offense is just flat out fun to watch. As many of you guys know, we are in the middle of one heck of a recruiting hot bed. However, we just don't produce the OL quality of other areas. DL, yeah, we can do that. Point being, we need an offense based around what we can feed into our system. Quick, athletic skilled players and a good QB can win many games, be successful, make money and be FUN!!!!!!! I miss going to the games and having fun.

Look, I'm all for going undefeated. However, if we play our best to say....Memphis, and they play their best, what more can you ask for. If we lose 38 - 35, and we just lose to a team that beat us (and we didn't beat ourselves or try and run an offense that is dated circa 1980, or the players didn't quit on the coach), I can live with that. That's what college football and rivals are all about. With good coaching and talent, wins will come. The key is the administration. I think many boosters that now have their names on buildings and have given many millions are now driving the car. As it should be, they have a vested interest.

I hope you do find someone to make you competitive. But that isn't your biggest problem. I was in NOLA nearly all day today visiting relatives uptown. They live near Audubon Park. Blocks from the Tulane Campus. We were out and about all day taking kids to City Park, eating uptown, and driving around the neighborhoods near Tulane, including Broadway which is home to many Tulane fraternity houses. Nowhere was they any evidence that anyone knew there was even a game tonight. I left at about 5:30 pm to return to my home which is a little more than an hour away. Drove down Magazine and St. Charles on the way to Carrollton Avenue to get to I-10. In other words, I went right around Yulman. NO TRAFFIC anywhere. No one wearing Tulane gear. Until you can get a sizeable fan base in NOLA, you will struggle.

The other thing is that regardless of who is hired, unless the administration allows some leeway in admissions, which I understand that they are still not ready to do, Tulane will be fighting with one hand tied behind their back.


I was driving around Hattiesburg...... Oh wait scratch that... No I wasn't. Why would I ever drive around that arm pit. Now I see why your not in this league. Nice try troll.....

No the reason they are not in this league is because even in the small tiny town of Hattiesburg where they are based there is still more Miss State, Ole Miss, and Alabama flags and merchandise hanging up then Southern Miss. It is the joke of the century that a Southern Miss fan is giving Tulane coaching and football advise. The same Southern Miss that before this season has a history of losing and being mediocre, 2011 being the anomaly. The same Southern Miss that does not even play in a real athletic conference, we would not even need a coach to go undefeated in that joke of a conference. The same Southern Miss that is less then 100 miles from Tulane but millions of miles away in athletic prestige, national respect, and relevancy. We play in the AAC, we are the top so called "G5" school in the southeast. If we wanted advise from a glorified high school football team we would stick to New Orleans, at least they know football.

Well, a new AD is coming in. Job One: fire the Lame Duck AD. Job Two: fire the FB Coaching Staff. Job Three: fire the lame duck Cowens who continue to hang around, drawing full salaries of $960,000 and $128,000.

All season, and all last season, the incompetent Johnson and the incompetent Prices insisted the incompetent Tanner Lee was the best thing since the wheel. In only his second start of his entire five year career at Tulane Jordy Joseph proved HE should have been starting.
Jordy with us longer than Johnson's four years and the clueless coaching staff did not recognize for a single instant that a mobile QB add an entire new dimension over a concrete post stuck in the ground named Lee who cannot get out of his own way.
Thank god no Johnson, no Prices, no Lee next year.

RE: Tulane Coach
The above post is ninety percent correct in my humble opinion. But Jordy cost us the Tulsa game with his interception throws. What I like about him is how mobile he is with speed out of the pocket which Tanner cannot do. Our secondary was beaten all night by their great receiver. Offensive live as usual a disaster and very little pressure by our defensive line,defensive ends and linebackers on their QB.

Tulane talking attendance smack? Really. Wasn't it your own school paper that did an investigative piece on attendance a couple of years ago and documented the inflated attendance numbers. Even documented that one game had as few as 2600 fans at one game?

As to glorified HS, I will gladly stack up the Scianna School of Business, the School of High Performance Materials (Polymer Science Ranked #3 in the nation behind MIT and Cal Tech and in the top 10 in the world) the School of Fine Arts which is one of less than 10 in the nation accredited in all 4 of the performing arts) and the School of Construction Engineering Technology which is ranked in the top 10 in the nation.

Finally, as to the more Bama, OM, MSU fans etc... We all know that there are more LSU fans in NO than Tulane fans. But guess what? There are as many if not more USM fans there as well.

Next time, don't bring a knife to a gun fight.

I hear what you are saying and don't totally disagree. However, we do have a fan base, we are just beaten down and apathetic. Baseball was a very tough ticket when we were a powerhouse. We are still ranked in the top 25 in attendance and on the way back. Students had to camp out for basketball tickets when we were winning. We had people in all 3 levels of the Dome when we were winning pre Tommy Bowden. When Bowden started winning the numbers were increasing every game. Yulman was packed for the first half of last year and almost packed the remaining games. This year we had numbers for the first couple of home games.

The point I'm trying to make, is that when we win, the numbers are there. When we went to the New Orleans Bowl I would see as many people wearing Tulane gear as I would LSU. The problem is winning. There are enough Tulane fans in the metro area along with College football fans in general and LSU haters that Yulman would be at capacity if we won. We'd have to expand in a few years after winning. We are just beat down. I'm hoping that the board members with their names on the new shiny buildings will take over along with our new President. All signs are pointing that way. Since our new President has arrived we had a splash hire for a Baseball coach, we are getting a new AD and a new FB coach. He has only been here 1 year.

Win and they will come!

Blocks from the Tulane Campus. We were out and about all day taking kids to City Park, eating uptown, and driving around the neighborhoods near Tulane, including Broadway which is home to many Tulane fraternity houses. Nowhere was they any evidence that anyone knew there was even a game tonight. I left at about 5:30 pm to return to my home which is a little more than an hour away. Drove down Magazine and St. Charles on the way to Carrollton Avenue to get to I-10. In other words, I went right around Yulman. NO TRAFFIC anywhere. No one wearing Tulane gear. Until you can get a sizeable fan base in NOLA, you will struggle.

The other thing is that regardless of who is hired, unless the administration allows some leeway in admissions, which I understand that they are still not ready to do, Tulane will be fighting with one hand tied behind their back.


I was driving around Hattiesburg...... Oh wait scratch that... No I wasn't. Why would I ever drive around that arm pit. Now I see why your not in this league. Nice try troll.....

No the reason they are not in this league is because even in the small tiny town of Hattiesburg where they are based there is still more Miss State, Ole Miss, and Alabama flags and merchandise hanging up then Southern Miss. It is the joke of the century that a Southern Miss fan is giving Tulane coaching and football advise. The same Southern Miss that before this season has a history of losing and being mediocre, 2011 being the anomaly. The same Southern Miss that does not even play in a real athletic conference, we would not even need a coach to go undefeated in that joke of a conference. The same Southern Miss that is less then 100 miles from Tulane but millions of miles away in athletic prestige, national respect, and relevancy. We play in the AAC, we are the top so called "G5" school in the southeast. If we wanted advise from a glorified high school football team we would stick to New Orleans, at least they know football.

Tulane talking attendance smack? Really. Wasn't it your own school paper that did an investigative piece on attendance a couple of years ago and documented the inflated attendance numbers. Even documented that one game had as few as 2600 fans at one game?

As to glorified HS, I will gladly stack up the Scianna School of Business, the School of High Performance Materials (Polymer Science Ranked #3 in the nation behind MIT and Cal Tech and in the top 10 in the world) the School of Fine Arts which is one of less than 10 in the nation accredited in all 4 of the performing arts) and the School of Construction Engineering Technology which is ranked in the top 10 in the nation.

Finally, as to the more Bama, OM, MSU fans etc... We all know that there are more LSU fans in NO than Tulane fans. But guess what? There are as many if not more USM fans there as well.

Next time, don't bring a knife to a gun fight.

Hey, I love USM. My cousin graduated from there and I love to play you guys in any sport. No hard feelings here, enjoy our rivalry. Heck, I wish y'all were in the AAC. Y'all have a good tradition of winning and a very good atmosphere at "The Rock". I wish you guys all the best.

I agree 1000%. Ya know, I've watched ECU for many, many years, I've had the pleasure of watching Houston live this year and of course Memphis on TV this year. When I watch you 3 teams, plus USF the games are fun. You never know what play is going to come up next. The players are excited, jumping around, patting each other on the back and the fans are focused and just having a blast. The atmosphere that the Houston fans brought this year to our stadium was contagious and I've been pulling for them ever since. Their fans were a class act and so were their players and coaches. I can say the same for Memphis last year and for many years in the past. We had that same excitement in the late 90's.

Getting a quality OC or a head coach from a fcs team that has an unpredictable offense is just flat out fun to watch. As many of you guys know, we are in the middle of one heck of a recruiting hot bed. However, we just don't produce the OL quality of other areas. DL, yeah, we can do that. Point being, we need an offense based around what we can feed into our system. Quick, athletic skilled players and a good QB can win many games, be successful, make money and be FUN!!!!!!! I miss going to the games and having fun.

Look, I'm all for going undefeated. However, if we play our best to say....Memphis, and they play their best, what more can you ask for. If we lose 38 - 35, and we just lose to a team that beat us (and we didn't beat ourselves or try and run an offense that is dated circa 1980, or the players didn't quit on the coach), I can live with that. That's what college football and rivals are all about. With good coaching and talent, wins will come. The key is the administration. I think many boosters that now have their names on buildings and have given many millions are now driving the car. As it should be, they have a vested interest.

Greenwave16...you are an idiot!

1) Tulane is the top so called "G5" school in the southeast ? Are you serious, Greenwave16????? Tulane is not relative at all, except for academics (that I will give you) but only that, but so is Harvard and Providence..good on academics but not so on the football field. Congrats, academics got you in the AAC.

2) Before this season, Southern Miss has a history of losing and being Mediocre, 2011 being anomaly ? Are you serious Greenwave16????? When we you born ? Look at USM's history..we have done more that anyone in the nation with less. Not bragging at all, just proud! We have a high winning overall winning percentage and have beaten team in the past that we shouldn't have. That's why they had us nicknamed "Giant killers". Oh, and when you do look at the history of USM football, maybe you will come across the games played against Tulane. Let me know what it says, ok..would you please ??

3) Yes, Hattiesburg is smaller than New Orleans, that's the only statement of truth I have ever heard you mention in any of your post. The State of Mississippi is eat up with Miss State, Ole Miss fans but mostly LSU fans (especially south of Jackson) but there is a huge fan base of USM south of Jackson as well. We own our market in South Mississippi. Does Tulane own their market in New Orleans ??
*There are more LSU fans in New Orleans than Tulane fans,and you know it!!
*There are more USM fans in New Orleans than Tulane fans, and you know it!! New Orleans has a huge Southern Miss fanbase, and you know it!!

Greenwave16, would you actually start talking about things you do know...instead of things that you don't ?? I feel sorry for your fellow Tulane brothers, I'm sure they are embarrassed to have you as a fan of their school.

Winning games in the AAC is way way tougher then winning games in C-USA. Southern Miss would not win a game in the AAC and if the AAC like it is today was around over the last 25 years then Southern Miss may not have had a winning season since the 80s. You got some lucky wins over the years, congratulations. It is a shame your school is garbage because if you were in the big leagues like the AAC then you could see just how tough it can get.

My #1 choice is Dino Babers from Bowling Green. UCF is also going after him as are others. Our 2 AD finalists have worked with him in the past. Would be a tough and good catch. Hope we can pull it off.

RE: Tulane Coach
So what I was going to post earlier is what we keep trying to tell everyone but what people ignore in favor of their old preconceptions about Tulane. Administratively the support is finally there for success. One of the things our fans used to complain about the most was the trouble getting athletes admitted, and that's long since changed. So has academic support and flexibility for them in several ways. That plus millions of dollars in facilities upgrades across sports and being willing to pay coaches and assistants, and there's no longer a reason a good coaching staff can't do well here. As far as attendance goes, I think we're all intelligent enough not to use the last game of a 3-9 season on a holiday weekend with a lame duck coach as a prime example. But anyone who's been watching Tulane regularly will also tell you there were a surprising number of fans there given all of those factors.

Dino Babers wouldnt be a bad choice but he doesnt have deep connections in the south. I think UCF will go with Collins, so Babers will be available for a few minutes... then Temple will open.

Some will think I am nuts but Willie Fritz has won everywhere he has coached and he has never had much to worth with. If his team was in the AAC this year, I bet they are bowl elegible and hes in the freaking Sunbelt. The guy is the master of doing something with leftovers and honestly thats all that Tulane is gonna get until they can show something.

Hes also cheap. You could pick him up for less than what your paying Johnson.

Most importantly, he recruits Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia and Florida. He grabs diamonds in the rough and coaches them up. Hed be a great choice.
