A triple-option team wins 7-8 games a year. That means consecutive bowl games, and that's HUGE.

Tulane needs to go through post-Dickson/Cowen rehab. A good defense + decent option attack is an EXCELLENT starting point.

When is the last time that Tulane has been consistently decent?


My thoughts exactly.

If Willie Fritz gets hired and I might actually go watch Tulane play next year (I'm already in New Orleans).

First step for Tulane is to start winning.

GA Tech, GA Southern, Navy, Air Force.. all win more than they lose. A spread option team that runs the ball, a la Oregon- Fritz's SHSU?- is also a good choice.

Bottom line: RUN THE BALL, PROTECT THE BALL, PLAY DEFENSE, Don't suck at special teams= Tulane will start winning. They desperately need to build a winning culture before stepping up big time.

One more thing about the Triple Option:

It works as long as you're not facing elite defenses that don't overcommit.

Tulane plays maybe 3-4 teams in the next 6-8 years that can claim this much.

I think a few guys are looking at our powderpuff schedule next year and thinking "yeah, I can win 8 games from that mess". A good option team can sweep our nonconference opponents and pile on 4-5 AAC wins along with that.
