Yeah I saw that and heard some of the Cannizaro family has been trolling Tulane. I don't like it. Coaching is like any other profession, sometimes someone else gets hired instead of you. It happens, nothing personal. I'm sure Andy understands and I sincerely wish him the best.

he has no head coaching experience. he might turn out to be a great coach, but the jake geautrau (sp) experiment didn't work out so well, neither did the tendency to hire former players over the last few years of the Rick Jones era.
this guy has experience at a private, expensive school. i think this is a great hire

Cannizaro was a legitimately great candidate for that job.

* Former player
* Top assistant at a top program
* Huge praise from outside of the Tulane program
* Major support from within the Tulane program (Rick Jones, boosters close to program, former players)
* Expressed major interest in the job

Loyalty and love for school is a two way street. When Tulane passed on Cannizaro, it broke that loyalty. It can't reasonably expect Cannizaro to show any loyalty back to Tulane down the road.
