It's a smaller school, with less influence in its home city (and nationally for that matter), and has struggled financially for the last 15-20 years. There was a time when Tulane was a top choice of high school graduates where I came from. Now? Almost none.
I'm not here to convince you. I am...
Sorry, I disagree. Students choose almost any of the schools you mentioned by a ratio of 3:1 or more except for Wake Forest. Tulane received a lot of its funding from the old United Fruit Company (the one that used to use the Marines to invade Latin American countries), and it has struggled for...
No, we wouldn't. GTAA was starving CPJ for resources. Now, had we INVESTED in the program at that time, we would be in a different space.
CPJ said one thing that has always resonated with me. Tech is closer to a service academy in the importance of athletics to the university, the resources...
I don't know if it is still the case, but Tulane as a school has been in decline for some time. They closed the engineering school and have been strained for resources for quite a while. I almost went there before deciding to enroll at Tech instead. At one time, Tulane was considered elite. It's...
You know where Brent will go? UGA. He'll join Kirby's staff as an analyst until he lands a long-term gig. They played at the same time and were at Bama together for a year. How will THAT look?
Personally, I agree. I think Brent Key make the most sense today as Batt has other issues to address (namely, revenue and NIL).
Still, Batt appears to be thoughtful. I am sure he called Alabama and probably UCF to speak to folks who might give him insight to Key. What got Frost fired at...
Fritz hired Chip Long to replace his OC, Willie Hall. Hall and Long are best friends and have the same offensive philosophy.
As to Tulane, it more or less makes sense. The facilities at Tulane are about on par with Tech's from 1980. That they win ANY games is a miracle.
It seems to me that schools like Tech will simply become feeder schools to the factories ... a Milwaukee Brewers of CFB. We'll recruit and develop for the first two years and then, watch them enter the portal to cash in at a factory in years 3-4. And ... prepare for an NFL career.
Sure, we...
He wouldn't be selling himself cheap. Total comp is the same. It's only the variable vs fixed component that is debatable.
Better to be a P5 head coach talking extension than a coordinator on salary.
I'm actually not excited. Kiffin would have been better, but he's waiting for the Alabama job. Still, he's a legit coach and has experience with illegal activities so he's a good fit.
Kiffin said the same thing and ... got a nice raise and contract extension out of it. On the flip side, if Fritz says anything about Tech or his candidacy, he becomes the story.
While that is certainly possible, it remains strange. Ken would be smart enough to know that if a hire was imminent, the PR office would be engaged. I don't see Batt or Cabrera writing press releases and submitting them to lawyers on a Sunday night totally out of the normal procedures...
You are absolutely correct. The challenge for the AA though, was that Peterson has set up Development Offices in every College/School at Tech to create legacy funds. He did NOT insist that the AA do it and I think that was a huge mistake. If Cabrera can create the same intensity to raise money...
