Yeah pretty shite move to do right before they're about to play for the AAC title.

Probably wouldn’t have gone down like this if the geniuses at the NCAA hadn’t put early signing day in the worst possible time of the year.

I would fire the AD in this situation. You can replace him easier than a good FB coach.

Boy, this sucks for the Green Wave right before the AAC Championship. Could cost the Wave their first major bowl since 1939 when they went to the Sugar Bowl.

I feel like one of the players would have come out about this if he informed the players.

This might not be 100% true, but I wouldn't be shocked if it is.

Why you blaming the AD? This isn't on him unless there is something we don't know. I am kind of shocked by this. I thought Fritz was a better man than this, bailing on his team days before playing for a championship.

Seems like Georgia Tech will be a difficult place to win consistently at.

Beta ADs get their coaches stolen to a job where you can’t win.

Real ADs find a way to keep their 10 win coach happy.

Are there P5 jobs where you won’t keep your coach no matter what? Sure.

This is not one of those jobs.

The AD at Tulane is a stupid dick who ruined the baseball program. Most fans can’t stand him either

The ad does seem like a dick.

What's the deal with him?

My theory on Troy Dannen is he did try at first but the “Tulane” kind of rubbed off on him.

He made one great hire (Fritz) in the most important sport, but hasn’t done much to improve or promote any of Tulane’s other programs

He’s an option guy and GT still has option guys on the roster. Not like he’s coming into a team built to Air Raid. I think he’ll make a solid showing in year 1 and take off from there.

Is Tulane not trying to retain Fritz because of the de-emphasis on athletics thing or did they stop that idiocy

While I could be wrong I think he got a raise after the last time he interviewed with a school. Was either Kansas or Kansas State.
