I said at the beginning of this thread that I didn’t think Hall was in danger of getting fired after this short of a period of time.
I think that changed after this past week.
He better turn things around quickly.
There are a lot of unhappy people in the Tulane camp.

LSU should make a deal. Tulane hires Brian Kelly and LSU does a H and A football series maybe throw in a basketball series

Slade Nagle is a hot name.

He was the OC at Tulane

He along with other assistants were caught recruiting players from Tulane to Houston. He may not have been 'actively' recruiting but he was the interim HC when it happened. He can stay in Houston

Speaking of Sheppard, I don’t hate the idea of Kelvin Sheppard for Tulane. He could be an enormous bust, but he also has some real potential upside. Would help groom him for LSU should they ever want him.

Shannon Dawson would be a great hire.

I know they wanted him. Dawson either turned them down or bowed out after they went with baker.

Seems like Tulane did the thing that NFL teams do with coordinators often. They’ll have a great run of good coordinators in a certain spot, who always look good bc of the structure of the program, and then eventually they get tired of hiring a new one each cycle so they go out and pluck the unsexiest retread for the job that no one wants

Almost never ends well

You do realize that Hall was on the staff last year and also was OC at Tulane for two years before getting the HC job at USM.

Hall sold the admin that he knew the culture and knew how to keep the program rolling.

Yeah, that’s part of the analogy. Tulane got tired of finding the best coach for the job and getting plucked by bigger programs, so they went for the retread option for “stability”

Very silly pitch to fall for in today’s game. Everyone is a renter in your program, there’s no 30 year mortgage coming.

Boise St kept hiring from within and it kept them rolling. I would not have hired Hall but I see why the Admin thought that hiring a guy who coached under the two most successful coaches in program history wasn't a terrible idea.

Not saying you, specifically.

That is exactly the kind of mindset that has led to the Scelfo/ Toledo/ Johnson era and now this.

Tulane needs an intelligent AD who can lead and make good decisions. Tell the fanboys/ program insiders shilling for a 14-30 fired USM coach to pound sand.

They should've looked across town and saw how ignoring his disastrous head coaching tenure worked out with Dennis Allen.

They can have Baker. We can move Aranda back to DC. I will gladly trade some stats for a D that can actually get a stop when they need one.
