re: Frank Wilson a HC possibility at Tulane?

got me.
I'm almost positive there isn't a requirement for a D1 team in a city for a bowl game (even a BCS bowl) to have a game in that city. They don't have hosts like they do in NCAA basketball and I'd assume LSU would be allowed to host in NOLA for basketball due to proximity anyways.
That said, Tulane still wouldn't drop to D-III in basketball I wouldn't think even if the football program went D-1AA or D2

good question. Larry Porter was a good recruiter also.

some of you guys don't make any sense. if the poster is correct and Tulane will offer $1 -1.5 m
then Wilson would be a DAMN FOOL to turn down a 4 year guaranteed contract.
he could go the porter route and pocket a bunch of money and come back to LSU or elsewhere in a few years. besides, a coordinator doesn't make that much so it would take him over 5 years to make that kind of money.

Only guy to make it out of there alive as a HC was Tommy Bowden
Mack Brown didn't do too bad either
Larry Smith did pretty well too... but that was all a long long time ago..

i agree. $1-1.5 M, back in the city your from, in your home state where you have connections. Why not? Be stupid to turn down
If any man is right for the job, it is frank. I'm sorry but young coaches are working for a goal, just like a player. They do the best they can at their present position, trying to do a good enough job to be promoted to the next level on being on their way to their mark.
In another words, frank is a home state boy and does take pride in that, but he is a LSU coach, not a LSU fan. Some of you want these coaches to stay for ever, and sure that would be all fine and dandy, but be realistic. Being this young, having a job offer in your home town, not a far move from where your are now, your connections you have developed here, playing in the superdome, good alumni behind you, money is right...a damn fool if you don't accept. Best of luck to you frank!!

The bowls were there before any of those played D-1 ball.

Rouge, what is the rule and I wondering how it can be subverted. Is it the town or stadium? I know there are bowl games at Ford Field and Jerryworld and the Georgia Dome which are not used as fields for any college teams with the exception of once a year games.

if larry porter was fired from memphis would LSU hire him as co recruiting coordinator?

I seem to recall a baseball team hosting a regional 60 miles away from their home (can't recall who though, maybe Uconn in Hartford instead of Storrs) so I think they would make an exception and let LSU be the host school.

What about Burton Burns, Alabama RB coach? I believe he has roots in New Orleans.
He was a former Tulane assistant and coached at St Aug for about 9-10 years .

Thats alot of it, but it doesn't help when more than half of your student body is from out of state and most don't care all that much about football or athletics in generaly.

Anybody that thinks that the Sugar Bowl remaining in New Orleans is contingent in any way on Tulane being D1 in football, or even existing as a university, is a fricking retard.
There are numerous bowl games in cities with no D1 football: Shreveport, Detroit, Mobile, Arlington, San Antonio -- that's just off the top of my head.
Also, La. Tech was the host for the recent NCAA women's regional in Bossier City. So, a nearby school can host for NCAA tournaments. So LSU could host in New Orleans. Besides, even if Tulane dropped down in football, they would still be D1 in basketball.

When Bowden left Tulane, was it not Burtobn Burns who was thought to have stolen the recruiting info from Tulane?
